Tree planting in the tropics is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for climate mitigation due to the region’s exceptional carbon absorption capabilities. Recent studies reveal that tropical ...

Tree stems in tropical forests recovering from logging produce carbon dioxide at a greater rate than those in unlogged forests, according to a new study from the University of Leicester. With fewer ...

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 ...

Lianas are woody, vining plants, many of which thrive in areas where forest has been disturbed — often to the detriment of the trees they use to climb towards the sun. New research shows that liana ...
