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 ...

Forest ecosystems occupy a substantial part of the Earth’s land surface. Forests are crucial to global carbon sinks, capturing and storing terrestrial carbon and accounting for approximately 25% of ...

Forests are vital to the health of our planet and provide numerous ecological, economic, and social resources. When people think of a forest, they envision a large area of land primarily consisting of ...

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 ...

In a recent study measuring the body size and growth patterns of invasive earthworms in the Huron Mountains, researchers uncovered their role in disrupting forest ecosystems. Contrary to popular ...

If you are looking to harvest more homegrown food in your garden, why not take a note from nature and grow like a forest? In the wild, plants grow in complimentary layers to maximize space and ...

A study reveals how invasive worms are disrupting forests in the northern United States and changing key soils.

Tree roots are drawn towards moist soil, a phenomenon known as hydrotropism. Near surface watering therefore causes roots to stay close to the surface instead of growing deep into the ground.
