How Trees Affect the Weather

ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE Biologists from the University of Utah including William Anderegg, Anna Trugman, and David Bowling have led new research and discovered that some trees and plants are prolific spendthrifts in drought conditions, "spending" precious soil water to cool themselves and, in the process, making droughts more intense. The researchers published their findings in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Tree Rings, Droughts and Climate Change

Tree rings no longer just speak of the years the tree has lived, they can also be used to tell how long climate change has been causing droughts.

Forest Thinning is a Benefit for Threatened Beetles

Researchers evaluated how management has impacted wood-inhabiting beetles connected with oak trees In Southern Sweden, wood-living beetles that use oak trees are a species-rich and threatened animal group in modern forestry and agriculture.

Four Ways Why Having Trees Around is Important

The value of trees in the environment, may it be urban or rural Trees leafing out shows us the transition from winter to spring. It is easy to take trees for granted but studies show that they provide numerous values.

Forest Does Not Only Absorb CO2 But Affects Cooling Of Earth Too

Scientists have found out that forest does not only absorb CO2 but it also affects water cycle too. Researchers have found out that forest and trees do not only absorb the carbon dioxide emissions of the world but they cool the Earth in other ways too.

Ancient Pre-Columbian People helped The Amazon Rainforest To Form Shape

Most biologically diverse rain forest once used to be the home of pre-Columbian peoples. Scientists found that those pre-Columbian peoples made the Amazon rainforest in shape. They have cultivated more than 85 of plants those were used as foods, shelter or other purposes

Earth: Home to More than Three Trillion Trees

A group of scientists has found that there is an estimated 3 trillion trees in the world when compared with the start of human civilization, the number has tumbled down to roughly 46%.

Could Excess Carbon Dioxide Be Coming From The Trees? New Forest Models Predict CO2

For several years now researchers have come to find a perplexing missing amount of carbon dioxide in their data. Models have repeatedly missed the mark, and though researchers don’t exactly know where all of the carbon emissions are coming from and where they are going, many assumed that the answer had to lie in the ‘sink’ of the world’s oceans. But now researchers at the Imperial College London are finding that perhaps the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide has something to do with forests—or rather, what humans leave behind.
