Long-term data from real forests indicate leaf stomata constrain gains: carbon uptake is traded for water, keeping biomass and storage uneven.

Bark beetle-infested spruce trees begin to dry out already before any visible signs of tree mortality appear, a recent study shows. Bark beetle-infested spruce trees begin to dry out already before ...

A new study has found that dry seasons that are warmer and drier than usual can stunt the growth of tropical trees, causing them to take in less carbon dioxide. While trees tend to grow more during ...
