Researchers discovered that boreal and temperate forests have become the main global carbon sinks. Tropical forests, which are older and degraded by deforestation, fire and drought, are nearly ...

Climate change is accelerating the loss of ancient forests. Rising temperatures threaten woodlands worldwide, from the Amazon ...

The new data provides a more detailed picture than ever before on the local, regional and global causes of tree cover loss.

Boreal forests’ bitter cold climate makes it difficult for life, leading to low species diversity compared to temperate and tropical forests. The plants and animals that do live in boreal ...

Researchers discovered that boreal and temperate forests have become the main global carbon sinks. Tropical forests, which are older and degraded by deforestation, fire and drought, are nearly carbon ...

One-third (34%) of all global forest lost between 2001 and 2024 is likely permanent — meaning trees in those areas are ...

This vast and nearly entirely intact boreal forest biome, stretching across the Canadian landmass and some of the northern U.S., below tundra and above more temperate forest, consists primarily of ...

“Governments could consider seeding or planting more of these temperate species into the boreal forest, but at present, funds are not available to do this in a widespread fashion,” Reich say ...

Boreal forests are found between the Artic tundra to the north and temperate deciduous forests to the south, where they largely remain pristine and undeveloped. These wild, northern forests also ...

You can expect to find fir, spruce, larch, aspen, and jack pine. The boreal forest separates the tundra from the temperate forest. The alternative names for the boreal forest biome are subalpine ...

While the changing climate is expected to cause negative impacts for conifer trees in boreal forests, the study showed the opposite may happen among hardwood tree species more common in temperate ...

The second misconception is that outcomes of industrial agroforestry in tropical forests can be extrapolated to temperate and boreal forest systems. "There's a narrative that human activity in ...
