Old-growth tropical forests, where trees average more than 140 years old, are nearly carbon neutral, whereas temperate and boreal forests, where trees are young (less than 50 years) or middle-aged ...

By Marlowe Starling Not all agroforestry projects are funded equally, suggests a new comment paper published in Nature ...

There are three types of forests: boreal, temperate, and tropical. On a global scale, forests are shaped by the amount of solar radiation and precipitation, both of which are influenced by latitude.

A new global data set makes it possible to track near-real-time changes in several types of vegetation across different ...

This vast and nearly entirely intact boreal forest biome, stretching across the Canadian landmass and some of the northern U.S., below tundra and above more temperate forest, consists primarily of ...

For each biome studied — temperate, boreal, and tropical forests — the researchers considered how long-term changes in the landscape altered the region’s emissions-sucking power.

“Governments could consider seeding or planting more of these temperate species into the boreal forest, but at present, funds are not available to do this in a widespread fashion,” Reich says.

One-third (34%) of all global forest lost between 2001 and 2024 is likely permanent — meaning trees in those areas are ...

Public Interest; Boreal forest stores more carbon than tropical forests, MSU Smithsonian exhibit shows. Published: ; Apr. 15, 2023, 8:00 a.m.

Forest-based agroforestry (FAF), which integrates crop production within existing forests, can enhance carbon sequestration, support biodiversity, and provide economic benefits to local communities.

ANN ARBOR, MI – The boreal forests of North America could be destroyed by even modest climate change, new research shows. A recently published scientific study led by a University of Michigan ...

From 2007 to 2017, land-based ecosystems like the vast boreal forests of Canada and the Amazon rainforest removed roughly a third of anthropogenic carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
