A Forest Under Fire
The poles are warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, and fires in the northern boreal forest are increasing in both ...
To answer this important question, an international consortium of scientists, coordinated by INRAE and Bordeaux Sciences Agro, studied the growth of 223 tree species planted in 160 experimental ...
Secretary-General António Guterres announced the launch of the UN80 Initiative on 12 March 2025 to rapidly identify efficiencies and improvements, review the implementation of all mandates given to ...
Fast-growing trees don't always store more carbon. In tough environments, slow but resilient species store more.
Forests provide many ecosystem ... The key role of local climate and soil for species choice Beyond general trends at the major biome scale, the researchers have shed light on the decisive role ...
Urbanization reshapes soil microbes in surprising ways—bacteria adapt and become alike, while fungi resist change.
Future work should explore temporal dynamics (e.g., climate-growth feedbacks) and expand covariates (e.g., UAV-derived canopy metrics). Cross-biome validation, particularly in boreal and subtropical ...
As boreal forests play a crucial role in global carbon storage and climate regulation, the ability to accurately monitor their extent and health is vital for developing effective environmental ...
