By studying antelope fossils, researchers can revisit long-standing questions about how the Cradle of Humankind’s environment evolved through time.
England is dawdling behind many other countries when it comes to protecting our important trees.
New research shows how Western science can support cultural burning to deliver benefits across cultures – as well as for nature.
The UK is set to plant 20 million trees to form a new ‘national forest’ in the west of England.
Effective conservation of old-growth ecosystems will work best if it considers their varied ecology.
New research found regrowth in Queensland provided valuable habitat after 15 years, on average, with some species benefiting from trees as young as 3 years of age.
Research reveals that fallow deer have an unexpected appetite for brambles, a plant often seen as a woodland nuisance.
Many ecosystems face multiple serious threats. Recovery will be complex and difficult – but not impossible.
In variable environments, like temperate woodlands, species are not equally at risk.
Great tits being studied at a woodland near Oxford are adjusting the timings of their breeding season as the climate changes.
The SUPERB project, part of the EU’s Horizon programme, aims to restore thousands of hectares of forest landscape across Europe.
New research suggests the gut bacteria of red and grey squirrels differ significantly, potentially explaining the decline of the native red and the success of its grey counterpart.
Native trees have been found at new heights in the Scottish Highlands, demonstrating how mountain woodland could recover from deforestation – benefiting humans, wildlife and climate issues.
Despite declines of Australia woodland birds and ongoing conservation investment, we don’t have many studies that show exactly how effective different management actions are for these species.
Just 2.5% of the country has been continuously wooded for centuries.
A new study looked at the many claims made about soil fungi and found some misconceptions.
