Nitrogen shortage limits young tropical forest growth, slowing carbon capture that could help fight climate change.

Tropical forests still absorb vast amounts of carbon, but new evidence suggests that small deforestation clearings cause ...

New research shows tropical forests can recover twice as fast after deforestation when their soils contain enough nitrogen.

Published in Nature (Small persistent humid forest clearings drive tropical forest biomass losses | Nature ), the study ...

Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using ...

Welcome to the ancient coal forests of Alabama. In this video, we step back over 320 million years to the Carboniferous Era, a time when this region was covered by dense tropical rainforests. Ferns, ...
