Climate change from deforestation and fossil fuel combustion is anticipated to increase the magnitude and/or duration of seasonal drought (Cramer et al. 2005; Cowling et al., 2005), and semi-deciduous ...

A new study found trees in temperate forests aren’t as effective at absorbing carbon as some climate models assume.

Our study highlights the important role of GEDI measurements in BIOMASS algorithm training and the establishment of precise site-specific processing parameters. Combining GEDI measurements at sparse ...

Field studies among diverse biomes demonstrate that mass-based nitrogen concentration at leaf and canopy scales is strongly related to carbon uptake and cycling. Combined field and airborne imaging ...

A new study published in the Journal of Plant Ecology has found that temperate forest tree species, regardless of their root symbiosis with either ectomycorrhizal (ECM) or arbuscular mycorrhizal ...

The effects of climate change events such as wildfires, storms, flooding, and pest outbreaks remain a constant threat to the health of Canadian forests. Consequently, adaptation and mitigation actions ...

Background It is well known that high ambient temperatures are associated with increased mortality, even in temperate climates, but some important details are unclear. In particular, how ...

Tongass National Forest encompasses 17 million acres and is home to bald eagles, salmon, and bears.

According to an article published in the prestigious journal Nature Climate Change, atmospheric particle emissions generated by forest fires could double current projections by the end of the 21st ...
