Biological control strategies curb pests using other species that attack the invader. A biologist explains why it can take more than a decade to develop an effective biological control program.

Not all forests respond to hotter and drier conditions in the same way.

The audio version of an in-depth article on why there aren’t enough trees to offset society’s carbon emissions – and there never will be.

Hundreds of computer simulations point to a few best strategies for keeping homes safe from fire in a warming climate.

Scientists are urging the Biden administration to protect mature US forests as a climate change strategy, starting with the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

This kind of research, with consistent data collection at the same locations over time, helps support global understanding of climate change.

More than 40 fire scientists and forest ecologists in the US and Canada teamed up to investigate why wildfires are getting more extreme. Climate change is part of the problem, but there’s more.

Without enough water, trees can develop embolisms, similar to blockages in human blood vessels, and they’re more likely to die from drought or fires.

Using remnants of fossilized trees, scientists and an artist figured out what the forest looked like long before humans existed.
