Detecting tree cover is crucial for sustainable land management and climate mitigation. Here we develop an automatic detection algorithm using high-resolution satellite data (<5 m) to map pan-tropical ...

New research finds that overall tree cover in the Kruger National Park is on the rise, although in localised areas, elephants ...

The distribution of forest and savanna biomes and the role of resources (climate and soil) and disturbances (fire and herbivory) in determining tree-grass dynamics remains elusive and variable across ...

The five Mekong countries lost nearly 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres) of tree cover in 2024, with nearly a quarter of which was primary forest, and more than 30% of losses occurring inside ...

A study finds small-scale tree cover in Costa Rica boosts biodiversity while limiting dangerous mosquito species. Protecting trees might not seem like a public health strategy, but new research ...

Reforestation is gaining global momentum as a climate solution, but its success depends on how and where it’s done. A new study mapped locations where tree planting and forest regrowth are most likely ...

Protecting trees might not seem like a public health strategy, but new research suggests it could be—especially in the tropics. A Stanford University-led study published May 28 in Landscape Ecology, ...
