Living trees absorb carbon, aiding climate change mitigation. But what role do dead trees play in carbon storage? UVM researchers found that large, downed trees in streams tie up tremendous stores ...

The study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, analyzed 1,207 tree species across 271 forest plots in six Brazilian regions, ranging from the Amazon Rainforest to the Atlantic Forest, all ...

Trees in tropical forests are dying at an increased rate, with consequences for biodiversity, carbon storage, and the global ...

Lightning-laced micro-storms may fell more rainforest giants than dryness or heat, forcing a rethink of forest-management playbooks.

Trees in tropical forests are dying at an increased rate, with consequences for biodiversity, carbon storage, and the global climate. While ...

A typical large tree can suck as much as 40 kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the air over the course of a year. Now scientists at UC Berkeley say they can do the same job with less than half a ...

These trees have a greater potential for biomass accumulation and carbon sequestration. They are large, dense-wooded, and slower-growing trees,” Leal Ramos says.

Expanding tree canopy is one way to capture carbon and moderate temperatures on Earth, but a 2024 study says there could be unintended consequences to planting in the wrong locations.. Restoring ...

Wildfires pollute waterways and could affect their ability to sequester carbon, new University of British Columbia research ...

In this case, faster-growing trees, with softer wood, tend to prevail over denser species with a higher carbon-storage capacity. In 2023, about 3.7 million hectares (8.14 million acres) of primary ...
