Forests protect against avalanches, but not every forest is equally effective. Thanks to almost 50 years of observations at the Stillberg afforestation site, SLF researchers have now gained insight ...
Larger leaves favor photosynthetic production of a sugar-rich fluid to nourish the tree, but if the tree is too tall, the nutrient flow is slowed. Why are the leaves on the tallest trees all about the ...
How tall can a tree grow? Does sunlight or water limit the size and photosynthetic capacity of a leaf? Could constraints on leaf growth really determine the height of a tree? These are all questions ...
The world’s tallest tree is found in northern California – it’s a redwood that stands 379 feet tall. This tree and its relatives are the largest single organisms in the world, but just how big can ...
Increasing drought frequency and severity in a warming climate threaten forest ecosystems with widespread tree deaths. Canopy structure is important in regulating tree mortality during drought, but ...
Forest scientists have used genetic modification to successfully manipulate the growth in height of trees, showing that it's possible to create miniature trees that look similar to normal trees -- but ...
Replying to N. L. Stephenson & A. J. Das Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17213-5 (2020) Decreasing stability in the mortality-height trend ...
