Finding and saving the world's biggest trees before they disappear
Finding and saving the world's biggest trees before they disappear Wed 10 Jun 2026 at 4:30am Found on the island of Taiwan, "The Heaven Sword" is the tallest tree in East Asia. Measured at a whopping 84.1 metres tall, the 1000-year-old tree is five times the height of Queensland's Big Pineapple, and belongs to an ancient cypress species. Despite its seemingly unmissable height, it was only found a few years ago through a decade-long project to map Taiwan's tallest trees.
Scientists race to collect the last seeds from a critically endangered tree before it goes extinct
Scientists race to collect the last seeds from a critically endangered tree before it goes extinct Seeds from the last surviving wild Dendroseris neriifolia tree are now stored in Kew Gardens' Millennium Seed Bank as researchers work to find ways to reintroduce the species into the wild. One of the world's rarest trees, a cliffside plant with just one known individual left in the wild, may have a new chance at survival after scientists collected hundreds of seeds from the lone survivor's...
Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C—but only if they're the right type
Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C—but only if they're the right type Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Cities around the world are planting more trees to cope with rising urban heat. But our research shows trees alone are often not enough. In some cases, the wrong kind of greening can even make streets feel less comfortable on a hot day.
From flat moss to forests and flowers: Protein discovery may explain how plants conquered land
From flat moss to forests and flowers: Protein discovery may explain how plants conquered land Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor If plants had never learned to grow in multiple directions, our world would look very different. No trees, flowers, or other complex plants—and therefore no animals or humans. New research from the University of Copenhagen now suggests that a specific protein in moss may have been crucial for this key step in plant evolution—a step that...
On Imbalanced Regression with Hoeffding Trees
arXiv:2602.22101v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many real-world applications generate continuous data streams for regression. Hoeffding trees and their variants have a long-standing tradition due to their effectiveness, either alone or as base models in broader ensembles. Recent batch-learning work shows that kernel density estimation (KDE) improves smoothed predictions in imbalanced regression
