Wildfires now destroy twice as much tree cover per year as two decades ago – a crisis fuelled by climate change ...

A new global data set makes it possible to track near-real-time changes in several types of vegetation across different ecosystems, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands, croplands, temperate ...

From Tasmania to the Top End, Australia's forest trees are dying at higher rates due to climate change, according to new research.

Get a bird's-eye view of the 1,500-square-mile Juneau Icefield from a seaplane. Hop on a boat for a whale watching and wildlife viewing tour where you may spot humpback or killer whales. Ride the ...

Declining snow accumulation in the mountains of the Northeastern U.S. will likely reduce the ability of forests to act as a carbon sink, a study has found. The shrinking snowpack and destructive ...

The data sets are very large: with more than 75 permanent forest dynamics plots in 29 countries worldwide, the Forest Global Earth Observatory network (ForestGEO) of the Smithsonian Tropical Research ...

Australia’s forests face rising tree mortality from climate stress, threatening carbon storage and ecosystem health ...

Carbon sinks and sources in global forests (Pg C year-1) expressed as the mean annual rate across the full three-decadal period 1990 to 2019. Positive values represent carbon sinks, while negative ...
