2021). While many studies have explored vegetation dynamics in African savannas, a few have quantitatively assessed how tree diversity and structure vary simultaneously across land cover types and ...

A forest with high tree-species diversity is better at buffering heat peaks in summer and cold peaks in winter than a forest with fewer tree species. This is the result of a study led by ...

Learn about the importance of tree diversity and why now is the time to prune back your shrubs. This week on Backyard Farmer, Heather Beyers from Great Plains Nursery shares the importance of tree ...

The authors add, "Our aim is to provide researchers with the first broad scale maps of tree species diversity from ecosystems across the United States. These canopy tree maps can be updated with ...

A study analyzing Canada’s National Forest Inventory data reveals that preserving forest diversity boosts productivity and enhances soil carbon and nitrogen accumulation, benefiting soil fertility and ...

The goal was to clarify the relationship between tree diversity and changes in carbon and nitrogen storage in soils from natural forests. The experts found that preserving the diversity of forests ...

Increased tree diversity can buildup carbon and nitrogen in forest soils, helping to sustain soil fertility and mitigate global climate change Forest soils play a vital role in withdrawing carbon from ...

Tree diversity increases storage of carbon and nitrogen in forest soils, mitigating climate change Date: April 26, 2023 Source: University of Michigan Summary: Preserving the diversity of forests ...

Reforestation projects are an important means of combating the loss of forests worldwide, but new research findings suggest that the complex interactions between trees and other organisms should be ...

our mechanistic understanding of how genetic diversity within plant species affects plant productivity remains limited. Here, we use a tree species × genetic diversity experiment to disentangle the ...
