Beech forests are beneficial in the climate crisis but suffer under drought and heat

Credit: Kim Pilegaard Measurements from the past 27 years show that nature’s ecosystem services and good biodiversity remove CO2 from the atmosphere, thus reducing the effect of carbon emissions. However, it is also clear that ecosystem services are affected by higher temperatures and drought, i.e., climate change. Biodiversity is not

These are forests that have regrown naturally on land abandoned from agriculture. Collaborative research between Lancaster University, Bangor University, and the University of British Columbia

Forests are breaking up in the tropics but coming together elsewhere. Here’s what it means for wildlife and the climate

Credit: Maksim Safaniuk/Shutterstock In 2015, research on global forest cover revealed a concerning fact: 70% of the world’s remaining forest now lies within 1km of the forest’s edge. This process, called fragmentation, is causing the deepest and darkest parts of the world’s forests to shrink. Forest fragmentation is bad news for many unique animal and

Underwater forest’s recovery offers hope for marine restoration across the globe

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Human activity has degraded ecosystems and damaged biodiversity around the world, but ecosystem restoration offers hope for the future. Scientists studying the restoration of underwater seaweed forests which provide other species with food and shelter have found that 10 years of restoration efforts have helped a damaged forest regrow to richness
