Researchers at Princeton have looked into how planting trees in mid-latitude regions—and resulting cloud cover—could help cool the planet.

WOODS HOLE, MA -- Results of a decade-long study to appear in this week's issue of Science magazine show that mid-latitude forest soils lose small amounts of carbon in response to soil warming.

Forests in the United States and other northern mid- and upper-latitude regions are playing a smaller role in offsetting global warming than previously thought, according to a study appearing in ...

It relates primarily to boreal or colder mid-latitude forests, such as the Canadian insect outbreak over 374,000 square kilometers of forest.

Most forest biodiversity is in that zone, including in temperate, mid-latitude forests where “80 percent of all plant species grow in shade of trees.” ...

It relates primarily to boreal or colder mid-latitude forests, such as the Canadian insect outbreak over 374,000 square kilometers of forest.

We could shut down coal-fired power plants, for example. But if the microbes in all landscapes respond to warming in the same way as we’ve observed in mid-latitude forest soils, this self-reinforcing ...

Our peer-reviewed reports present the evidence-based consensus of committees of experts. Published proceedings record the presentations and discussions that take place at hundreds of conferences, ...
