Conducted by ecologists in the University’s College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources, the study suggests ...

New research led by the University of Sydney adds to our understanding of how rapidly rising sea levels due to climate change ...

New research shows tree stem respiration does not rise sharply with long-term warming. Trees adjust, releasing less carbon ...

Associate Professor Andres Holz helps lead study on trees and “green islands” that survive wildfires but die up to three years later.

Scientists have found a way to monitor volcanic carbon dioxide levels — one of the first signs a volcano might be about to ...

In a discovery three decades in the making, scientists at Rutgers and Brookhaven National Laboratory have acquired detailed ...

“(Carolina poplars) do not have a good decay compartmentalization mechanism, so when the disease appears in one part of the tree, it spreads rapidly,” he said. City of Montreal workers tackle ...

They returned to the trees every few months to take photos and measure the decay. They found the fungus killed Ailanthus, but did not spread to non-target trees, leading researchers to theorize ...

He added: "This tree is designated... as an irreplaceable habitat because it's got decay features and habitats within it that you cannot replace within hundreds of years. "In addition to the sorts ...

"It can expedite decay in trees and encourage fungal activity." Roots anchor trees and keep them from falling over, but high winds and rain make them more vulnerable. "What you've noticed in the ...

This is especially significant since trees can store carbon in their wood for decades. Their leaves or roots, in contrast, decay more quickly and release their carbon back into the atmosphere.

This darker internal wood is probably moist from decay. As totally involved as it is, there is a very good chance that this tree cannot be saved. However, it would be much better to let the ...
