Trees

Many citizens pushed back against a government-backed urban greening program due to an abiding mistrust of the city and its officials.

The millions of Americans who buy a Christmas tree at a farm this year are agritourists too.

Two men carry freshly cut conifers to be used as Christmas trees at the Gut Kuehren plantation in Kuehren near Kiel, northern Germany.

New research suggests that the rate of change in tree composition within the Amazon basin lags by two orders of magnitude behind the change in climate.

Workers help prepare a Christmas tree for sale at a Holiday Sale Christmas Tree lot on November 29th, 2018, in Miami, Florida.

Researchers warn that an area of Brazilian Amazon rainforest bigger than Ireland is at risk of losing its legal protection.

Haiti's deforestation is largely driven by small-scale farming and charcoal production, which involves harvesting wood and heating it to remove water and volatile compounds.

The small South Pacific island nation has become a major supplier of Chinese-imported timber.

According to a new analysis, tropical forest loss currently accounts for 8 percent of the world's annual carbon dioxide emissions.

A cloned aspen grove that's thrived for millennia is feeling the pressure of just 50 years of human activity.

In Austin, Texas, and King County, Washington, private companies can now offset their carbon emissions by funding tree-planting in their local cityscape.

Commodity-driven deforestation is most responsible, with farming and forestry also playing a major role in the global tree cover loss.

Tree cover loss in the tropics was outweighed by tree cover gain in subtropical, temperate, boreal, and polar regions.

And with tropical forests storing almost 250 billion tons of carbon, their fate has major implications for the Earth's atmosphere.

Conservation groups report that wetland forests are being drained, logged, burned, shipped across the Atlantic, and converted to monoculture pine plantations to create woody biomass.

A new study sheds light on which trees are the most suited for dealing with changing weather patterns in the region.

We're losing about 36 million trees every year, according to a new study.

A group of environmental activists hold a traditional ceremony during an event called Marry a Tree, in the community of San Jacinto Amilpas, Mexico, on February 25th, 2018.

In order to better understand just how extreme the state's weather has gotten, scientists looked to the ring patterns of 500-year-old oaks.

A study shows that most of the variation in plants and trees comes down to just two factors: overall size and the "leaf economics spectrum."

Even the ones we don't have names for.

New research finds areas that experience a massive die-off of trees also suffer from an increase in cardiovascular disease.

New research shows forests are slow to recover from droughts, and climate models that overlook recovery time are likely overestimating how much carbon forests can absorb after droughts.

Having less water affects trees' carbon intake, sap production, and more.
