To slow the effects of climate change, conserve biodiversity, and meet the sustainable development goals, replanting trees is vital. Restored forests store carbon within the forest's soil, shrubs, and ...

The richer forests are in different tree species, the faster the trees grow and the more CO 2 they can absorb. A joint study by TU Dresden, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Martin Luther University Halle ...

The wood-wide web is not merely a compelling metaphor. It is a reminder that some of the most valuable parts of a forest are ...

In Québec, there are two distinct types of forest: the northern temperate forest in the south, and the boreal forest in the north. These forest ecosystems provide many different and essential services ...

A long-running experiment is testing tree mixes to develop the healthiest forests. Mickey Pullen/Smithsonian Environmental Research Center However, many tree-planting commitments have a critical flaw: ...

Europe's forests have already been severely affected by climate change. Thousands of hectares of trees have already died due to drought and bark beetles. Scientists have now investigated which trees ...

The upper panel depicts the coastal forest pre-tsunami, while the lower panel illustrates the forest post-tsunami. Each column represents the percentage decrease in coastal tree cover resulting from ...

In the fight against too much carbon in the atmosphere, researchers have found that mixed forests — and specifically mixed European hardwoods — are dramatically better at storing carbon than single ...

Forests with few tree species pose considerably higher risk of being damaged and especially vulnerable is the introduced lodgepole pine. Forests with few tree species pose considerably higher risk of ...

Trees shape climate, biodiversity, rural livelihoods, and the global bioeconomy, yet many remain invisible to today’s large-scale monitoring systems. Most satellite products describe forests as broad ...
