Older, large-diameter trees have been shown to store disproportionally massive amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees, highlighting their importance in mitigating climate change, according to a new study in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change. Researchers examined the aboveground carbon storage of large-diameter trees (>21 inches or >53.3 cm) on National Forest lands within Oregon ...
India has pledged to bring almost a third of its land area under green cover by 2030. As part of this goal, several tree-planting projects are being undertaken.

A recently documented stand of bald cypress trees in North Carolina, including one tree at least 2,624 years old, are the oldest known living trees in eastern North America and the oldest known wetland tree species in the world. David Stahle, Distinguished Professor of Geosciences, along with colleagues from the university’s Ancient Bald Cypress Consortium ...
The idea of the heat island — that densely built-up urban areas are considerably hotter than the rural and semi-rural landscapes that surround them — has been extensively studied and is widely accepted by academics and the public. But a new study by a Concordia researcher takes a closer look at the phenomenon and what ...
NASA is requesting people to take pictures of trees through its recently launched smartphone app — the Globe Observer. The space agency hopes that data collected from the public will help it confirm the accuracy of canopy data collected by its ICESat-2 satellite. Collecting data on trees “Observers can measure one tree or hundreds. The ...
Hatch is an Art Gallery in Ivanhoe and I stepped into it finding a magnificent art exhibition about historic trees growing in the area of Banyule. As I admired each painting, I felt as if I met all of the six significant trees personally. A map has been drawn to show you where these trees ...
