1 Few studies have addressed the mechanisms of coexistence of shade-tolerant and intolerant tree species in the canopy of old-growth, lowland rain forests of southern South America. We explored the ...

Wildfires, storms, and bark beetles have a major impact on forests and the benefits they provide for people and the ...

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 ...

Climate-related disturbances from fires, storms, and bark beetles could double forest damage across Europe by 2100.

Escalating wildfires, wind damage and insect outbreaks could threaten tourism, water supplies and biodiversity, a new study ...

An international science team used supercomputer simulations to model forest population dynamics of tree diversity in tropical forests. The researchers hope their work will help support forest ...

Forests play a vital role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. They act as carbon sinks and preserve biodiversity and ecosystems. Yet, climate change is increasingly causing extreme weather ...

New research finds tropical forest disturbance goes beyond species loss and includes a shift towards smaller seeds and an increase in the proportion of trees dispersed by animals, impacting how the ...
