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.
As California experiences an unprecedented wildfire season and the East Coast is battered by stronger hurricanes, it's no secret that the realities of climate change are becoming direr than ever.
More than half of medicinal plant species in Indonesia won't be able to grow in most of their current range by 2050 due to climate change, a new study says.
By 2070, rising soil temperatures could cause germination failure in 20% of tropical plants, and reduced rates in more than 50%, with the potential to disrupt and alter tropical ecosystems.
Investing in forests to fight climate change seems like a sure bet. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, pump out oxygen, and live for decades. What could go wrong?
