This rainforest giant thrives when its rivals burn
Every fall, a hillside in Oregon flashes a giant, yellow smiley face of trees.
Study looks into how trees could provide the most benefits in our urban spaces.
Study looked at plant nurseries across the country and found big gaps.
They believe this could be applied to multiple tree species
Study reveals new insights into the compliate relationship between urban heat and seasonal vegetation leaf emergence.
It uses LiDAR sensors that are incorporated into mobile phones.
Not every tree works the same way.
The oldest tree is between 5,000 and 80,000 years ols, depending on what you consider a 'tree'.
With a little help from a team of researchers, we get to see what climate change looks like from the perspective of a northern red oak.
Eco-friendly uses for urban tree waste could substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions in US cities.
But the nearly 5,500-year-old tree is in trouble due to tourists climbing over its roots.
Trees are burning and grasslands are taking their place.
Hotspots for insects identified in the study include New York, Chicago and Milwaukee
More than 73,000 species of trees grow on Earth's surface, including 9,200 species yet to be discovered, according to the most comprehensive tally of its kind to date.
Consider yourself lucky if you live in a tree-rich area
There's still time to save the trees -- but we need to act quickly
With climate change kicking in, we need all the help we can get to deal with the scorching summers.
This could come in handy as temperatures continue to rise -- but there are also downsides, researchers warn.
California's redwood forest has the tallest trees in the world. Let's see why.
The net ecosystem service of an urban tree is worth thousands of dollars.
We are and will continue to plant more street trees, urban groves and informal clusters of trees in our parks and green spaces. Treetopia has begun.
Not a good roadmark to pass.
We have to leave large trees alone as they capture a lot of carbon, researchers argue.
Researchers could soon count every tree on Earth.
That can't be good.
The carbon capacity storage of trees could be challenged in the future.
Tree planting is far from a panacea, researchers argue, and shouldn't be seen as a solution by itself.
Researchers boldly claim that despite some organs like leaves perish, the three itself doesn't die of old age
The 386-million-year-old forest marked a massive transition in the planet's history from sparce vegetation to lush tropical forests.
Project Team Trees seeks to plant 20 million trees by 2020
Since 2015, Iceland has planted around 1,000 hectares of forest (between three and four million trees).
Drought has a massive effect on rainforests. Bad news in the current changing climate.
Which is a pity, because they save us a lot of money.
Sometimes not tidying up can be a good thing.
Ca-ching!
Nope, it's not Trump's idea.
We'd have to plant trees instead of food.
Wildfires are generally good for forests but the current trend is anything but natural.
The green lungs of the earth come in many different varieties.
That's seriously badass!
The longer a sound wave takes to transverse the trunk, the more decayed the tree is.
Who said money doesn't grow on trees? Take this grandpa!
It's good to be Queen. But it's even better to be the Queen's elms.
Silly trees, can't they set the thermostat lower, like the rest of us?
A forest's trees capture carbon not only for themselves, but also engage in an active "trade" of sorts with their neighbors, a new study found. University of Basel botanists found that this process, conducted by symbiotic fungi in the forest's soil, takes place even among trees of different species.
Europe is likely to lose all its ash trees, the largest-ever survey of the species warns. Plagued by both a fungal disease known as ash-dieback and an invasive species of beetle, the emerald ash borer, the tree might be wiped clean off of the continent.
Wind gusts are so unforgiving that the trees themselves molded into weird and crooked shapes. There's an almost surreal beauty to their shape, though -- it brings harshness to life. You won't find anything like it anywhere else in the world.
In the wake of calamities like hurricanes or tornadoes, you'll find trees leveled to the ground. But observations suggest that all trees seem to break at the same wind speed, with parameters like the type of tree, height or diameter barely affecting the outcome.
Where do we find the space for trees in our cities with all the buildings already vying for the limited space available? Dutch collective Mothership's answer is waterways. The group plans to install the "Dobberend Bos" (Bobbing Forest) in Rotterdam's Rijnhaven harbor next spring.
