Satellite sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) can track photosynthesis from space, but canopy structure can distort the signal. A global study shows that forest height changes the SIF–gross ...

Scientists searching for life beyond Earth have developed a new way to understand what makes a planet appear suitable for living organisms. Researchers at the University of Washington have created a ...

Scientists warmed piñon pines and cut off their water. The warmer trees died 28% sooner, hinting at more frequent forest die-offs in a hotter future.

For two weeks, one person shared a sealed Arizona habitat with 144 dwarf peas, and the plants came out on Day 8 to track rising carbon dioxide.

A U.S. forest study found that greater tree species diversity helps forests withstand combined heat and drought and recover faster, although temperature and other factors also affect resilience.

The world’s oceans, Buesseler points out, move about 10 billion tons of carbon a year from the ocean’s surface to its interior. “If we can get that up to 11 billion using iron fertilization and other ...

These practices reflect China's commitment to a holistic approach to blue carbon conservation that goes beyond carbon alone. They recognize the connectivity and integrity of marine ecosystems and ...
