Tracking both the amount of carbon and the time that it remains stored is key to unlocking the potential of nature-based carbon storage as a climate mitigation strategy.
Many animal species can be detected using a simple, low tech method of collecting DNA from the environment.
Forest thinning and controlled burns take away fuel for fires, but the US can only treat so many acres. Which ones to choose?
REDD+ is a UN program to fight deforestation. But, have local and indigenous communities received their equitable benefits?
Fire frequency is increasing in all ecosystems studied. But in some places, fires were occurring so often it put entire ecosystems at risk of collapse.
Boreal plants produce molecules that are valued by traditional medicines and inspire the development of medicinal products by contemporary chemists.
Some boreal plant species are classified — and treated — as weeds, affecting Indigenous communities’ access to important cultural, medicinal and ceremonial resources.
Plantations of exotic trees from the mid-19th century onwards devastated Indian ecosystems.
Forest fragmentation is causing the deepest and darkest parts of the world’s forests to shrink.
The important role living roots play for sustaining life belowground should prompt us to rethink forest management.
The Kenyan state has historically viewed forests in terms of production and economic development – not biodiversity and conservation.
A realistic look at forest management on the Nitassinan of Pessamit, based on data from the Québec government’s forest inventories.
Labour, yields, and biodiversity are all elements of agriculture that need to be balanced.
Can planting trees help us solve the climate crisis? Probably, but to what extent?
Timber parks, where the paperwork for loads of timber is inspected, can help stem the financial losses from illegal exports.
The forests around Mount Mabu in Mozambique are rich in biodiversity, including some newly discovered species.
A longer growing season for trees, due to global warming, does not necessarily lead to an increase in wood production.
Two states will soon end logging of native forests, but what about the other states? The federal government has powers to intervene but also faces obstacles to nationwide protection of these forests.
Human activities can affect plants and have consequences for the human populations that consume them.
