For decades, ecologists have differed over a longstanding mystery: Will a longer, climate-induced growing season ultimately help coniferous forests to grow or hurt them? A new CU Boulder study may ...

Experience the tranquility of nature with this slow, upward pan through a serene, snow-dusted coniferous forest. The video ...

Heterobasidion root rot remains one of the most detrimental fungal diseases afflicting coniferous forests across the Northern hemisphere. The pathogen’s persistence is driven by its ability to survive ...

Nature classifies all trees into three main groups. Deciduous trees shed leaves seasonally. Evergreen trees remain green year-round. Coniferous trees reproduce using cones. These categories explain ...

In snow-dominated regions, forested watersheds often provide a considerable portion of the downstream water resources, and tree death can significantly alter many ecohydrologic processes including ...
