Trees and bushes near highways significantly reduce air pollution caused by cars, which has been linked to a host of illnesses.

"Getting a 3D geometry vegetation model has been an open problem in computer graphics for decades." New research could help change that.

Prescribed burning, restoration thinning, or a combination of both are effective at reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire in California.

A new study reveals a surprise: Trees growing in wetter regions are more sensitive to drought, researchers find.

Researchers have found a species of ant so rare that only a handful of records exist from across the entire eastern US.

Studying how saplings respond to drought and heat could inform management after wildfires and die-offs, say researchers.

Rising temperatures will cut the number of days when conditions are favorable for prescribed fires across the western US.

Old dead trees on the forest floor are a chief fuel driving wildfires in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, a study of the KNP Complex Fire shows.

Creating physical gaps in the forest canopy helps eastern hemlocks withstand infestation by an invasive insect, a study finds.

Hotspots for global trade, like ports, are linked to greater risk of invasions by non-native tree species, a study finds.
