Tree rings hold clues about ancient solar storms. New research shows tree growth and carbon storage can shift those signals ...

A research team from Purdue University’s Department of Computer Science and Institute for Digital Forestry, with collaborator Sören Pirk at Kiel University in Germany, has discovered that artificial ...

Long-term data from real forests indicate leaf stomata constrain gains: carbon uptake is traded for water, keeping biomass and storage uneven.

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen and sugar for growth out. In a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels ...

Let’s put on our walking shoes for a little experiment. How long does it take to walk around the outer perimeter of a tree’s leafy canopy? Naturally it depends on the tree’s age and size. A young tree ...

Bark beetle-infested spruce trees begin to dry out already before any visible signs of tree mortality appear, a recent study shows. Bark beetle-infested spruce trees begin to dry out already before ...
