By Marlowe Starling Not all agroforestry projects are funded equally, suggests a new comment paper published in Nature ...
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 ...
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 ...
The new data provides a more detailed picture than ever before on the local, regional and global causes of tree cover loss.
Climate change is accelerating the loss of ancient forests. Rising temperatures threaten woodlands worldwide, from the Amazon ...
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 ...
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 ...
“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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
