The course brings students directly into the heart of the dynamic interactions between coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass ...

New research reveals that thunderstorms - not just drought or heat - are a major cause of rising tree deaths in tropical ...

Tropical coastal forests known as mangroves are known for being the first “buffer zones” in coastal systems. New research shows they may also be resilient to hurricane damage and capture more carbon ...

Global warming could push tropical forests to a point where photosynthesis fails and trees die. The ramifications are huge, scientists say. Global warming could cause leaf photosynthesis to fail ...

A recently published study in the journal BioScience reveals that endangered longleaf pine ecosystems—among North America's ...

In 2006, the Brazilian government passed the Atlantic Forest Law, which banned most tree cutting in the country's Atlantic Forest region. Four years later, the team of researchers began monitoring ...

University of Leicester-led research has revealed the start of industrial deforestation of the Malaysian rainforest and its ...

Post-tropical Cyclone Sandy left a ghost forest of white cedar in New Jersey in 2012. In the Chesapeake Bay region, more than 80,000 acres of forest have turned to marsh in the last 150 years.

Alongi, D. M. 2020. Carbon cycling in the world’s mangrove ecosystems revisited: Significance of non-steady state diagenesis and subsurface linkages between the forest floor and the coastal ocean.

Tropical forests are vital “carbon sinks” – capturing and storing carbon dioxide that would otherwise stay in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. According to the study , published in ...
