Amazon rainforest is transitioning to a 'hypertropical' climate — and trees won't survive that for long
The Amazon rainforest currently has a few days or weeks of hot drought conditions per year, but researchers say this could ...
Researchers have been baffled by tropical rainforest diversity for over a century; 650 different tree species can exist in an area covering two football fields, yet similar species never grow next to ...

Study shows hot leaves can't catch carbon from the air. It's bad news for rainforests—and Earth
On the east coast of Australia, in tropical North Queensland, lies the Daintree rainforest—a place where the density of trees forms an almost impenetrable mass of green. Stepping into the forest can ...
Trees across the Amazon rainforest are growing larger in response to rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to a major new study. The research, published in the Nature Plants ...

The Amazon rainforest is entering a scary new phase called a "hypertropical climate"
Parts of the Amazon are drifting into uncharted territory. According to a concerning new study published in Nature, the ...
The tropical rainforest of the Congo basin is the world’s second-largest. (The Amazon is slightly bigger, but far better studied.) Via the Congo river, water drains into the Atlantic largely from six ...
A group of trees that grow fast, live long lives and reproduce slowly account for the bulk of the biomass. Irene del Carmen Torres Dominguez measures the diameter of a tree on Barro Colorado Island in ...
Researchers developed a cost-effective way to collect DNA from species high in the rainforest canopy: they hung umbrellas to collect rainwater that washed through the trees. The method revealed 562 ...
A team of international scientists led by researchers from Australian universities has found the first evidence that woody biomass in tropical rainforests is acting as a long-term source of carbon ...
