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 ...

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 ...

Tropical trees are dying faster than ever, and it's not just heat or drought to blame. Scientists have uncovered a surprising ...

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

Forest-based carbon-offset projects need a buffer to guarantee their climate benefits will last – but they may not have ...

New research reveals that thunderstorms - not just drought or heat - are a major cause of rising tree deaths in tropical ...

In a large-scale study with almost 400 partners, ... New study on the importance of tree leaves for carbon dioxide storage. I would like to subscribe to Science X Newsletter.

Keeping tree diversity intact in Canada’s many forests over the long term can help increase carbon capture and mitigate climate change, according to a new University of Alberta study. The study ...

Researchers are finding that fallen trees, also known as “dead wood,” play an important role in forest ecosystems and influence everything from moisture and carbon storage to providing habitat ...

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 ...

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 ...
