Wildfires are intensifying, yet they’re one of the most poorly understood phenomena on Earth. New research shows that they can disturb both regional and global climate.
The Midwest had a lot of trees, but just a few species were responsible for the bulk of the carbon storage.
With decades of images and data from the same locations, these satellites can show changes over time, including deforestation, changes in waterways and how loss of trees corresponds to urban heat.
Managed retreat is already common in flood-prone areas, but what about in neighborhoods at high risk from wildfires? Here are four ways communities can pull back for safety.
Fires today are hotter and more destructive, thanks in part to a warming climate.
Tropical forest covers 12% of the planet’s land surface yet hosts around two thirds of all terrestrial species. Amazonia, which spans the vast Amazon River basin and the Guiana Shield in South America…
The deforestation of the Amazon in Brazil is at its peak, with 2022 breaking all records. Deforestation threatens human rights.
Fruit bats have the potential to reforest areas where trees had been lost in parts of Africa.
An invasive Australian tree is exploiting ever-stronger hurricanes.
More carbon dioxide in the air doesn’t necessarily mean more growth for trees, and the increasing risk of wildfires and drought has major consequences, as an interactive map shows.
Climate change is modifying the timing of recurrent life-cycle events with critical consequences on ecological and economic levels.
New research shows that coast redwood trees have a surprising adaptation that helps them thrive in both wet and dry environments.
By mismanaging its forestry road system, Québec and the forestry companies operating in public forests have made significant savings, to the detriment of protecting aquatic environments.
Australia’s forests have controlled their own own flammability since Gondwana. We must respect this natural process.
Maintaining ecological balance in savannas is essential
Many of Africa’s forests are unknown to the public at large, yet so fascinating and important.
Hurricane Michael left a jumbled mess of downed trees. Cleaning it up is even harder than it sounds, and now dead trees are burning.
Reforestation programmes should consider the parasitic relationship between mistletoes and their hosts and their ecological benefits for bird diversity.
Scientists have uncovered Roman farms beneath what was thought to be prehistoric forest in France.
