Our species’ origin and destiny are entangled with the roots and branches of trees. We evolved in and around trees, and we’ve learned to breed and plant them for their fruit, nuts, wood, and blossoms, ...

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 ...

New 3D scans of tropical rainforests give scientists better data on forest biomass, boosting carbon tracking and satellite ...

Soils surrounding large, ancient alerce trees in Chile accumulate a disproportionately high diversity of fungi, which help store more carbon and make the entire forest healthier, suggesting that ...
