The warm temperate deciduous broadleaf forest zone, which contains mostly young forests, is expected to see the largest increase in carbon storage—rising by 26.36% by 2060.

Minnesota is also unusual for having four major plant boundaries within its borders: mostly cold-climate conifers in the Northwoods, temperate deciduous trees such as oaks and maples in the state ...

Boreal forests are found between the Artic tundra to the north and temperate deciduous forests to the south, where they largely remain pristine and undeveloped.

Explore the different types of forests, their main characteristics, and their role in the overall well-being of our planet.

A trio of studies in the journal Nature highlights the serious threat global warming poses to boreal and deciduous forests in North America.

Analysis of when and how fast temperate deciduous trees in North America grow suggests that the earlier onset of the growing season induced by climate change does not result in extra carbon ...

Forests are not only key to moderating our climate by sequestering atmospheric carbon, but they also create a cooling effect by increasing low-level cloud. A first global assessment using ...

Deciduous forests in temperate zones were also thought to photosynthesize less and less efficiently as the summer goes on, similar to what happens as leaves age in some other plants like cotton.

In a database, data characterizing the temporal development of plant species composition in forests of the temperate climate zone around the world is collected.

Temperate Zone Forest Fires Can Cool the Climate Fires may boost the reflectivity of the ground, thereby counteracting the warming from the fire's release of greenhouse gases.
