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 ...

Larger leaves favor photosynthetic production of a sugar-rich fluid to nourish the tree, but if the tree is too tall, the nutrient flow is slowed. Why are the leaves on the tallest trees all about the ...

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 ...
