Scientists have created the first global map of forest height using satellite data. The map will improve estimates of how much carbon is stored in Earth’s trees and how much carbon dioxide they absorb ...

What limits the height of trees? Is it the fraction of their photosynthetic energy they devote to produce new leaves? Or is it their ability to hoist water hundreds of feet into the air, supplying the ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts the maximum height trees can reach in particular environmental conditions. They hope their model will help ecologists get a better ...

Whether someone is searching for a little Charlie Brown fir or majestic spruce, a good Christmas tree is the one that's ...

Researchers hope the model will help ecologists improve their understanding of forest ecosystems Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts the maximum height trees can reach in ...
