We must get a grip on forest science, before it’s too late
Trees are one of our biggest carbon hopes. Supporting the scientists studying them should be a much higher priority.
Forest science is an amalgam of disciplines. Ecologists and plant scientists measure tree growth, soil nutrients and other parameters in thousands of forest plots around the world. More...
Bees increasingly stressed by Climate Change over the past 100 years
An analysis of bumblebee wings from a network of UK institutions shows signs of stress linked to conditions getting hotter and wetter.
As well as revealing what is linked to stress in bees in the past, the study can help predict when and where bees will face most stress and potential decline in the future, researchers suggest. More...
Our survival depends on treating nature with more respect
At a time when biodiversity, the fragile web of life of which we are all a part threatens to disintegrate, we must not forget that we are, in many respects, the authors of our own misfortune. More...

Study tracks global forest decline over six decades
That net loss of 817,000 square kilometers (315,000 square miles) of forest area, combined with the growth of the global population, means that there’s just half a hectare (1.2 acres) of forest for every person on the planet, down from 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres) in 1960. More...
One-third of the food we eat is at risk because of the climate crisis
Bee populations?are declining. More than?half of the bat species?in the United States are in severe decline or listed as endangered.?And international scientists recently announced the?monarch butterfly is perilously close to extinction. What these three creatures have in common is that?they are all pollinators. Without them, fruits, vegetables and other plants wouldn't be pollinated, and that's a major problem for our food supply.
