A groundbreaking study by UCL and international scientists has discovered that just 2.2% of tree species account for half of the trees in tropical forests…
New research reveals that the space-for-time substitution method, used to predict species responses to climate change, inaccurately forecasts the impact of warming on the ponderosa…
A study comparing the effectiveness of photovoltaic fields and afforestation in mitigating climate change has revealed that PV fields outperform afforestation, particularly in semiarid regions…
New research reveals a global increase in tree diseases, impacting species like pines, oaks, and eucalypts the most. The study suggests climate change may be…
Researchers scrutinized claims made in two popular books about trees having human-like traits and emotions. Published in Trends in Plant Science, their findings challenge many…
A new study reveals that Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Rule of Trees’, previously adopted by science to model tree function, is not accurate for the internal…

Scientists in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution challenge three commonly held beliefs regarding the abilities of common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), which are underground fungi…
The minimal variation in CO2 levels may indicate that the climate is more responsive to alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentrations than previously thought. The emergence…
According to recent research, elephants play a crucial role in the development of forests that store large amounts of carbon and preserving the biodiversity of…
The research was conducted as part of a 30-year tree-planting campaign in Portland. A study in Portland, Oregon has found that planting trees on streets…
