The identification of tools dated to the time of Homo sapiens associated with microfloral evidence of wet tropical forests indicates that West African forests were occupied by humans much earlier...

Project Description Red Lists are critical tools for assessing species’ extinction risk, systematically evaluating threats based on past and ongoing environmental drivers. However, global change drive...

Aim Climate change is driving increasingly frequent and intense extreme climatic events, pushing many forests worldwide beyond their physiological thresholds. Despite the major role played by forest...

If you are interested in learning to use LiDAR for forestry and natural resources, this tutorial can help you get started. You will learn to view large datasets, create raster products, map trees, and...

Locations that are relatively insulated from the effects of climate change (so-called climate change refugia) might be similarly insulated from a range of other anthropogenic stressors. The degree of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

How does each habitat function? Why does it occur where it does? How does this understanding affect conservation?

The authors collate a meta-collection of ex situ living plant diversity held in 50 botanical collections worldwide, spanning a century of data and currently containing ~500,000 accessions. Their analy...

In a tropical agricultural landscape, conserving strips of secondary forests along streams had a positive impact on tree recruitment in young regrowing forests. Surprisingly, this effect persisted ev...

An experiment in the Daintree rainforest found the rate of photosynthesis in leaves warmed by 4°C dropped by an average of 35% compared to non-warmed controls.

One of the biggest dreams when we started the SoilTemp project was not only to bring together all available microclimate data into a single, unified database but also to align how we think about an…
