The second bias arises because natural wind patterns caused the night-time and daytime fluxes to be associated with different areas of the forest. In particular, in June and July (but not in ...

Photosynthesis is driven by light and thus happens only during the day, whereas plant and microbial respiration occurs continuously. Therefore, faster night-time warming presumably affects ...

Overall temperate moist forests stored an average of 377 tons of carbon in above-ground biomass (vegetation) across 18 sites, followed by subtropical moist forests at 294 tons of carbon across 26 ...

The researchers found that tropical species are shifting their ranges up mountain slopes at a rate that’s 2.1 to 2.4 times faster than their temperate counterparts, and tropical forests, in particular ...

Keeping forests standing would lessen both the number and size of spring floods in temperate regions, according to a new study in Water Resources Research, by slowing seasonal snow melts.

But a new study says that despite emitting heat-trapping methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, fires in temperate zone (or boreal) forests may actually cool the climate significantly ...

The High Desert Museum on Saturday will debut its latest interactive experience, Forest at Night, to showcase the captivating realm of nocturnal species and the critical importance of preserving ...
