A group of trees that grow fast, live long lives and reproduce slowly account for the bulk of the biomass. Irene del Carmen Torres Dominguez measures the diameter of a tree on Barro Colorado Island in ...

A two-decade-long experiment in the Sierra Nevada found that regular prescribed burns promote carbon sequestration in live trees and plants, maintaining forests' long-term ability to store carbon ...

After more than a century of fire suppression in California’s forests, mounting evidence shows that frequent fire — through practices like prescribed fire or Indigenous cultural burning — can improve ...

New study on a ‘portfolio approach’ to carbon removal enables firms to mix expensive tech-based solutions that inject carbon deep underground with lower-cost and currently more available nature-based ...

Even-aged forest management is geared towards timber production with ecosystem health as a lesser consideration. This creates a dichotomy where forests are treated either as plantations or reserves.

Declining snow accumulation in the mountains of the Northeastern U.S. will likely reduce the ability of forests to act as a carbon sink, a study has found. The shrinking snowpack and destructive ...

Researchers said soil organic carbon accounted for more than 43 per cent of the total carbon stored in the ecosystem. The ...

Earth’s carbon storage capacity is an important variable in determining how much carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that causes warming, can be removed from the atmosphere and safely tucked away for ...

Researchers have discovered that Delhi's urban forests are significant carbon sinks, storing substantial amounts of carbon in ...

Delhi's forests store massive carbon underground, study finds. Potential carbon credits over Rs 4 lakh/hectare. Neem & Babool are key absorbers.
