A study published in Nature reveals that small areas of deforestation, often less than 5 acres (about 2 hectares), in humid tropical forests are responsible for more than half of carbon losses ...

Trees play a central role in life on Earth. They store CO₂, provide habitats for animals, fungi, and insects, stabilize soils ...

After analyzing 40 years of tree records across the Andes and Amazon, researchers found that climate change is reshaping ...

In most forests, a visitor’s eye is trained on what can be reached. The trunk can be measured. The leaves can be plucked. A ...

Thanks to the hard work of two University of Wyoming professors and their field team of graduate students and technicians, ...

New research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals significant recent shifts in tree diversity among the tropical ...

New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen.

Nitrogen shortage limits young tropical forest growth, slowing carbon capture that could help fight climate change.

Climate change is quietly rearranging the Amazon and Andes—winners and losers are emerging, and the Northern Andes may hold ...

A forty-year study shows climate change is reshaping Amazon and Andean forests, with uneven tree gains and losses across ...

Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using photosynthesis to build it into their roots, trunks, and branches, where ...

Young tropical forests can regrow twice as fast with enough nitrogen, dramatically increasing carbon capture, according to a ...
