Climate change is shifting forest conditions faster than local tree species can adapt. Higher temperatures, more frequent ...
When a record-breaking drought and heat wave swept across China's Yangtze River Basin in 2022, forests across the region ...
The world's longest-running soil warming experiment has revealed an unexpected climate concern. After nearly four decades, ...
Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...
New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen. Scientists followed forest regrowth across Central America for decades and ...
The world’s northern forests act as massive carbon vaults, locking away greenhouse gases in spruce, pines, and needle-covered soils. But industrial logging is quickly eroding their ability to mitigate ...
Across parts of Romania, particularly in the Buzau region and the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, locals have long ...
A new long-term field study reveals that adding biochar to tropical soils can subtly reshape underground ecosystems, influencing insects and other tiny organisms that play vital roles in forest health ...
Earth’s top 2 meters (6 feet) of soil hold 2.5 trillion metric tons of carbon — more than is held in living vegetation and the atmosphere combined. But soil carbon sinks are under threat — global ...
