The planet is becoming greener, but scientists warn that forests with fast-growing trees are more fragile and less resilient.

Native forest restoration usually starts with faster growing "nurse plants" that provide shelter under which to plant bigger ...

Many at-risk forest tree species will probably need biotechnology along with traditional tree-breeding approaches to survive, according to insights published in the July issue of the journal New ...

The reason why so many tree species can coexist in species-rich forests has long been a subject of debate in ecology. This question is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the dynamics and ...

To slow the effects of climate change, conserve biodiversity, and meet the sustainable development goals, replanting trees is vital. Restored forests store carbon within the forest’s soil, shrubs, and ...

Researchers have found almost identical patterns of tree diversity across the world's tropical forests. The study of over one million trees across 1,568 locations found that just 2.2% of tree species ...

The United Nations declared 2021–2030 to be the decade of ecosystem restoration, an initiative aiming to halt ecosystem degradation and restore 350 million hectares ...

Genetic research could speed the restoration of the American chestnut tree. Plus, "rewilding" small spaces with fast-growing ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — As native trees in the Pacific Northwest die off due to climate changes, the U.S. Forest Service, Portland, Oregon and citizen groups around the Puget Sound region are turning to a ...

If a tree falls in the forest, it can create an opening for more incoming light, and that makes a significant impact on the surrounding environment, according to new research. An international science ...

As native trees in the Pacific Northwest die off due to climate changes, the U.S. Forest Service, Portland, Oregon and citizen groups around Puget Sound are turning to a deceptively simple climate ...
