Aim Global forests face increasing stresses from novel climate states, altered disturbance regimes and the spread of pests and pathogens. Understanding where and when mortality occurs across species...

Negative density dependence persisted for up to 5 years after tree death, but with interspecific variation. Although stabilising niche differences were large, fitness differences–at the seedling life...

The European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change advised that a 90%–95% net domestic reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) until 2040 (compared to the 1990 baseline) is necessary in order to ach...

A transition from carbon sink to source for the aboveground woody biomass of moist tropical Australian forests has occurred, driven by increasingly extreme climate anomalies.

Selon une nouvelle étude, les forêts tropicales d’Australie seraient les premières au monde à émettre davantage de carbone dans l’atmosphère qu’elles n’en absorbent.

The woody biomass of Australia’s tropical rainforests has already switched from carbon sink to carbon source – and the reason is climate change.
