Forest modeling shows that a site's productivity -- an indicator of how fast trees grow and how much biomass they accumulate -- is the main factor that determines which time period between timber ...

Lianas are woody, vining plants, many of which thrive in areas where forest has been disturbed — often to the detriment of the trees they use to climb towards the sun. New research shows that liana ...

The central Himalayan forests, known as the Earth's vital carbon reservoirs, play a significant role in our global carbon mitigation efforts. A new study delves into these forests to estimate ...

On the narrow isthmus of Panama, scientists discovered adding nitrogen to the soil doubled tree growth, providing new insights into forest restoration.

Large-scale tree planting projects aimed at sequestering carbon are oversimplifying the many values of forests, researchers reported Tuesday. In a peer-reviewed opinion paper published in Trends in ...

Soil stores large amounts of organic carbon, whose dynamic changes can cause huge impact on the global climate system. Forest succession is a long-term ecological process that can exert powerful ...

Climate change is causing Western U.S. forests to be less effective carbon sinks, even as it boosts the productivity of forests in the Eastern U.S., according to new research. Climate change is ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Jamie Hailstone is a U.K-based reporter, who covers sustainability. The growing “climatization” of forests has meant too much ...

Space Intelligence's co-founders, Chief Scientist, Professor Ed Mitchard (l), and CEO, Dr. Murray Collins (r). Photo taken in route to measure the carbon sequestration potential of tree for a project ...

You may have heard recent claims that call into question how the Forest Service cares for our public forests and wildlife. Many of these claims are not accurate, and I’m compelled to set the record ...
