Overfertilizing crops may improve crop yields in the short term, but adjusting fertilizer levels can help support healthy plant development overall.
Proper forest management can boost rural economies, and prevents fires from starting in the first place.
Acid rain and metals from power plants, vehicles and industries reached remote mountain lakes for years. Evidence from those lakes today shows the success of the Clean Air Act.
A recent study indicates that forest management in Northern Ontario is placing timber harvesting above safeguarding natural environments and compromising animal habitat.
Scientists analyzed water quality in 145 watersheds after wildfires and found dramatic spikes in contaminants.
Changes to forests, and how close people and their livestock live to them, have changed tick habitats and the risks humans face of Lyme disease and other illnesses.
One fossilised log from southern Australia has spilled the dirt on termites’ very cold and very ancient past.
Setting up the world’s biggest giant tropical forest reserve in the Congo Basin is a step towards conserving the area and creating jobs for local communities.
The UK is set to plant 20 million trees to form a new ‘national forest’ in the west of England.
Park and forest managers can’t rely on the past any longer to understand future risks. Fires, pests and climate change are changing the game.
