A new study published in Forest Ecosystems sheds light on how carbon is stored in forest soils across eastern China, offering valuable insights into forest carbon sequestration and its role in climate ...

A recent study reveals an unexpected link between manganese -- a naturally occurring mineral -- and increased carbon emissions from high-latitude boreal forests. The study uncovers how manganese ...

Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...

Wildfires in the northern boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia may be more damaging to the climate than previously thought, a new UC Berkeley-led study suggests. That's because ...

When drought tightens its grip on tropical forests, the biggest changes are not always in the canopy. In a Panama experiment launched in 2018, researchers found that persistent drying cut fine root ...

Decomposition of dead leaves in Veluwe forests has declined by tens of percent since the turn of the century. Meteorologists from Wageningen University & Research discovered this in an analysis of ...

Canada’s boreal forest acts as the primary lungs of the Northern Hemisphere by purifying air and regulating the global ...
