Mixed-species plantings create forests that grow faster and are more resilient in the face of threats.

Identifying these pockets of resilient habitat is helping land managers protect them from other threats.

With current models failing to capture how living trees influence fire behavior, scientists are tackling this gap in fire prediction.

The forest is one of the properties that Aurora Sustainable Lands manages for climate benefits nationwide.

Each type of old-growth forest has a unique ecology, but all are under threat from human activity and climate change.

The impacts of active management can approach the effects of deforestation as they ramp up in application and intensity.

While the overall greenery in forests looks healthy, researchers are concerned about what’s going on beneath the canopy.

By making a long-term commitment to conservation, landowners can get paid by using carbon credits.

A new study highlights the risks of using forest-based carbon offsets to cancel out greenhouse gas emissions.
