Reducing wolves to protect endangered caribou doesn’t always deliver the expected results—and the shape of the land may be the deciding factor.
Forest Soils Increasingly Extract Methane from Atmosphere
Forest soils have an important role in protecting our climate: they remove large quantities of methane – a powerful greenhouse gas – from our atmosphere.
Land-Intensive Carbon Removal Needs Better Siting to Protect Biodiversity
Significant reliance on land-based methods of carbon dioxide removal can protect biodiversity by avoiding climate impacts - but it could also compete with biodiversity protection unless there is better site selection, according to a new study.
Where Fires Used to be Frequent, Old Forests Now Face High Risk of Devastating Blazes
A new analysis shows that the Pacific Northwest’s mature and old-growth forests are most at risk of severe wildfire in areas that historically burned frequently at lower severity.
