Innovative wood use can enable carbon-beneficial forest management in California

Yale scientists have launched an even more ambitious and perhaps important project.

There are general observations of increasing tree mortality due to changing climate and land use, as well as observations of growth stimulation of younger...

Antarctica, which is entirely covered by ice sheets, was home to rainforests, almost 90 million years ago, suggests a new study by the team...

New evidence on the impact of deforestation on animal communication.

Modern trees emerged earlier than previously believed, new research reveals.

Continually logging and re-growing tropical forests to supply timber is reducing the levels of vital nutrients in the soil, which may limit future forest growth and recovery, a new study suggests. This raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of logging in the tropics.

Accounting for both climate change and natural disturbances—which typically result in greenhouse gas emissions—is necessary to begin managing forest carbon sequestration. Gaining a complete...

Forests are a natural environment often used for such activities as jogging, hiking, dog walking, mountain biking, or horse riding. The mere presence of...
