“Will it become a wood again, how long will it take, which species will be in it?”
Eating bird food was also linked to a nearly four-fold increase in their breeding densities.
Combining evidence from archaeology, geochronology and paleoenvironmental science, researchers identified how ancient humans by Lake Malawi were the first to substantially modify their environment.
Is the UK government missing the wood for the trees?
We counted the number of standard trees in Australia. It turns out that since 1990, we’ve actually been gaining trees faster than losing them.
New findings show how changes in land use have complex effects on animal and plant species.
The UK’s official climate advisor recommends up to 50,000 hectares of new woodland each year by 2050.
Restoring Britain’s woodlands and peatlands isn’t just a utopian dream.
The species which surround a tree in a forest make up the character of its neighbourhood. Good neighbours can make forests resilient to climate change.
Could our best shot at stopping climate catastrophe be restoring forests on a massive scale?
