Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forest

China's natural forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide and fighting climate change. But how much more carbon can they store? A new study in Forest Ecosystems provides a detailed estimate, revealing that while China's natural forests will continue to capture carbon, their ability to do so is slowing down.

As Appalachian ginseng turns from rural tradition to global commodity, the Forest Service is trying to keep foragers at bay.

Climate change means many tree species planted today in Europe won't survive to the end of the century, but English oaks could thrive in many areas

"Assisted migration" could help sustain productive forests in the face of warming habitats

Findings could help forensic scientists better determine a body's precise time of death.

To clean up poisoned streams, Appalachian researchers are turning acid mine drainage into something unexpected.

KANAGAWA PREFECTURE – The Miyawaki method for cultivating fast-growing groves of native vegetation has found eager practitioners all over the world. But some say the method promises more than it can deliver, and that, in some cases, restorers are planting Miyawaki groves where they don't belong. Developed in the early 1970s by the late Japanese […]

Stranded: Alien Dawn builds thoughtfully on the survival sims that came before it, keeping what works and streamlining what didn't.

Destruction could open the door to management reforms

There's a surprising and highly influential link between invasive earthworms, white-tailed deer and tree harvesting in northern forests, according to new research from the University of Minnesota.

Over a third of species and ecosystems in the United States are at risk of disappearing, including hundreds of plants and animals in Washington.

This study was led by Prof. Guangsheng Zhou (State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences) and Prof. Hongrui Ren (Department of Geomatics, Taiyuan University of Technology).

Think quality over quantity in winter and don't underestimate the opportunities to connect with nature.

Seasonal snow is sensitive to climate change, and is always taken as a signal of local climate changes. Against the background of global warming, the annual snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is following an overall decreasing trend.

A new analysis of more than 20,000 trees on five continents shows that old-growth trees are more drought tolerant than younger trees in the forest canopy and may be better able to withstand future climate extremes. The findings highlight the importance of preserving the world's remaining old-growth forests, which are biodiversity strongholds that store vast amounts of planet-warming carbon, according to forest…

Trees have long been known to buffer humans from the worst effects of climate change by pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Now new research shows just how much forests have been bulking up on that excess carbon.

Relict populations of Crocodylus niloticus persist in Chad, Egypt and Mauritania. Although crocodiles were widespread throughout the Sahara until the early 20[th] century, increased aridity combined with human persecution led to local extinction. Knowledge ...

Only found in the wild in Patagonia, the monkey puzzle tree, Araucaria araucana, has unusual features that evolved as a defense against long-necked dinosaurs, scientists believe. The ancient species is now endangered, but a particularly messy eater may be helping it survive.
