Ashes to Assets: How Harvesting Dead Wood Could Save Forests and Fight Climate Change

Afforestation at high latitudes disrupts soil, increasing microbial carbon decomposition and enhancing soil warming through snow trapping, while growing trees accelerate soil carbon turnover and reduce surface albedo. When a plantation is disturbed, albedo rises, but carbon stored in biomass decreases.

Arctic Tree Planting Could Actually Speed Up Global Warming, Scientists Warn

African Woodlands Hold Double the Carbon Previously Thought

As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more carbon from the deep ocean into the atmosphere — rather than less, as some have predicted. Credits:Image: MIT News; iStock

Ocean Circulation Slowdown Could Accelerate Climate Change, MIT Study Finds

The eroding cliffs at Herschel Island. The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) commenced research in the western Canadian Arctic with the funding of the young researcher project titled Coastal Permafrost Erosion

Thawing permafrost: Not a climate tipping element, but nevertheless far-reaching impacts

The Collared Araçari (Pteroglossus torquatus) is among the few birds that can disperse plants with large seeds and play a key role in dispersal in forests in Central and South America. It is especially important for young forests growing on abandoned land, as they bring in seeds of many different species that will help the forest regenerate a diverse tree community.

Tropical forests can’t recover naturally without fruit eating birds

More than 70% of 2.4 million acres of evergreen shrub bogs, locally known as pocosin peatlands, were drained for agriculture and forestry along the Southeastern U.S. Coast in the last century and a half. Much of that land now lies fallow and could become an enormous carbon sink if moisture were restored.

Re-wetting peatlands could help sop up massive atmospheric carbon
