Forests are shaped by light competition. The trees that grow the tallest have access to the most sunlight, blocking the rays ...
Researchers discovered why trees of varied heights coexist in mature forests. Survival depends on both light interception and ...
A research team has discovered that artificial intelligence can simulate tree growth and shape. The DNA molecule encodes both tree shape and environmental response in one tiny, subcellular package. In ...
Nature-based solutions like enhanced rock weathering and microbial enrichment could increase tree growth and boost carbon ...
In a recently published paper, PhD student Ellen Waddle and her coauthors provide some clarity on a decades-old problem When researching what drives the growth of small populations, ecologists ...
The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen and sugar for growth out. In a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels ...
Tree-ring samples taken by Paulo Quadri, who earned a Ph.D. in environmental studies from UC Santa Cruz, were included in the study. (Photo by Luz A. de Wit) The top-line findings of a massive ...
Amid development, roadway expansion and electric utility maintenance, the preservation of trees has been a significant ...
