A hidden pollutant is changing how the world's forests breathe
A hidden pollutant is changing how the world's forests breathe - Date: - June 2, 2026 - Source: - Aarhus University - Summary: - A massive global analysis found that nitrogen pollution can either speed up or dramatically slow the natural "breathing" of forest soils, depending on the ecosystem's condition. The results reveal hidden tipping points that could affect how forests store carbon and cope with climate change. - Share: For centuries, forests have followed a remarkably consistent rhythm.

Costa Rica paid landowners to restore forests and biodiversity—bioacoustics indicate that it worked
June 4, 2026 report Costa Rica paid landowners to restore forests and biodiversity—bioacoustics indicate that it worked Krystal Kasal Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Forest restoration can help fight climate change and restore lost biodiversity, but the satellite-based techniques used to measure successful forest restoration have been less-than-helpful for measuring changes in biodiversity. Instead, a team of researchers listened to the sounds of life in the...
Forest resident birds avoid intensive clearcuts, acoustic monitoring shows
Forest resident birds avoid intensive clearcuts, acoustic monitoring shows Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor New research reveals that resident forest birds avoid intensive clearcut areas, highlighting the need for more sustainable forestry practices. Nearly two-thirds of boreal forests are managed for timber production. Clearcutting is a common timber harvesting method that removes most or all trees from a specific area at once, resulting in rapid habitat alteration...
50 years of data reveals true extent of climate change impacts on kelp forests
50 years of data reveals true extent of climate change impacts on kelp forests Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) has found that some kelp forests around Vancouver Island were disappearing far earlier than scientists previously thought, highlighting that climate change has been altering ecosystems long before most people were aware anything was wrong. "Most research has focused on recent kelp forest losses resulting from...
Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study
Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Diminishing periods of snow cover in northern forests, shortened by climate change, are poised to disrupt a delicate balance in some of the planet's most climate-sensitive regions—according to new research from McMaster University, VU Amsterdam, and the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Historically, carbon emissions from northern forest fires were counteracted...
ForestMamba: Sparse Mamba with Geometry-guided Queries for 3D Forest Point Cloud Segmentation
arXiv:2606.01549v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-based semantic and instance segmentation of terrestrial and drone LiDAR point clouds is emerging as a transformative approach for converting the complex 3D structure of forests into actionable information for forest monitoring and biodiversity assessment. However, forest LiDAR scenes remain highly challenging due to their large data volumes, irregular sampling density, overlapping and complex canopy structure, and geographic variability....
New maps chart old-growth forests across Alaska and British Columbia
New maps chart old-growth forests across Alaska and British Columbia Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Mature and old-growth forests are vital for biodiversity, carbon storage, cultural traditions and economic activity. But in Alaska and British Columbia, these rich resources have not been reliably mapped, leaving much unknown about what land is protected. Now, University of Oregon researchers are leading a comprehensive mapping effort that sheds light on the location,...
Conifers are making a comeback in Quebec's forests, study shows
Conifers are making a comeback in Quebec's forests, study shows Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor An analysis of Quebec's forest inventory data developed by Concordia researchers reveals that the conifer population is on the rebound after decades of decline. The growth is driven by an increase in the population of balsam fir, which may reflect a recovery from the last major spruce budworm outbreak (1972 to 1986). This outbreak severely impacted the conifer population...
Could native forests be Cement Australia's 'sustainable' fuel option?
Concerns native forests could be Cement Australia's 'sustainable' fuel option as it moves away from coal Mon 1 Jun 2026 at 7:14am In short: Cement Australia will update a coal-fired kiln in Tasmania to supplement its fossil fuel use with alternative fuel sources such as used tyres and sustainable wood waste. But conservationists say the wood waste, if sourced from native forest logging, could offset the environmental benefit. What's next: The six-week site upgrade at the Railton kiln in...
