Researchers at Beijing Normal University used advanced machine learning and satellite imagery to map forest management ...

Research Triangle Park, NC--The size, shape, and arrangement of fields, forests, wetlands, and human populations, and the ways these and other features interact and change across landscapes, have a ...

We examine spatial patterns of conifer tree mortality and their changes over time for the montane mixed-conifer forests of San Diego County. These forest areas have recently experienced extensive tree ...

We review and compare well-studied examples of five large, infrequent disturbances (LIDs)-fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, and floods-in terms of the physical processes involved, the ...

Scientists at Alabama A&M University have discovered that differences in landform - such as slope, bench, or valley - play a major role in determining which tree species grow best and store the most ...

Research findings suggest that alternative stable states can be maintained through biotic mechanisms, such as root traits, in addition to the commonly understood abiotic factors like climate. This ...
