Feeding the world’s insatiable appetite for wood products is sacrificing the future of a crucial ecosystem.

Researchers uncover the “body-snatching” tactics of fungi that flourish immediately after wildfires.

Rising sea levels are pushing salty tides and storm surges farther inland, leading to the forest death and a shift from forested habitats to marsh.

As the salty Atlantic Ocean pushes farther inland, forests are turning to marsh. Some scientists want to speed the transition.

Carbon dioxide and temperature need to increase in a constant ratio for plants to keep up with climate change.

Four independent groups say the work overestimates the carbon-absorbing benefits of global forest restoration, but the authors insist their original estimates are accurate.

Water flows between a dead-looking stump and nearby trees on an alternating schedule.

Changes in the auditory environment as a result of herbivory could influence how animals communicate, and may have implications for sound-based monitoring of species.

Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir are less able to regenerate in the face of climate change, and some areas have already “crossed a critical climate threshold.”
