Boreal forests were traditionally structured by natural disturbances (wildfires, windthrow, insect outbreaks), but anthropogenic footprint (habitat loss and fragmentation) became prevalent in the last decades, overriding natural disturbances and forcing wildlife to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. It is of prime importance to understand the impacts of both types of disturbances on species – habitat relationships, species interactions (predation, competition) and ultimately population fluctuations (expansion, decline).

北方森林传统上是由自然干扰（野火、风吹、昆虫爆发）构成的，但在过去几十年中，人类足迹（栖息地丧失和破碎）变得普遍，压倒了自然干扰，迫使野生动物适应迅速变化的环境。了解这两种干扰对物种-栖息地关系、物种相互作用（捕食、竞争）以及最终种群波动（扩张、下降）的影响至关重要。
