Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by ...

A forty-year study shows climate change is reshaping Amazon and Andean forests, with uneven tree gains and losses across ...

Grasping the mechanisms behind tree failure is key to developing strategies for mitigation. While previous studies have explored how trees react to wind, it is unclear whether these responses remain ...

New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen.

Logan Canyon • Ashley Martens stood quietly among the towering Engelmann spruces of the Mount Naomi Wilderness, in the wildflower-filled fields near Tony Grove, inviting a group to take a deep breath, ...

U.S. forests have stored unprecedented levels of carbon in recent years, driven by a mix of climate forces and human land-use ...

SHAVER LAKE, Calif. — There’s something eerie about this forest in the southern Sierra Nevada. Tangles of bony branches obscure the ground. Dead trees stand gray and bristly. An aura of doom hangs ...

A century ago, the forests of the Eastern U.S. looked very different. They were packed with towering chestnut trees. But since then, those trees have largely disappeared, and the forests have evolved ...

Young tropical forests can regrow twice as fast with enough nitrogen, dramatically increasing carbon capture, according to a ...

After more than a century of fire suppression in California’s forests, mounting evidence shows that frequent fire — through practices like prescribed fire or Indigenous cultural burning — can improve ...

Lianas are woody, vining plants, many of which thrive in areas where forest has been disturbed — often to the detriment of the trees they use to climb towards the sun. New research shows that liana ...
