Prescribed burning helps store forest carbon in big fire-resistant trees, long-term Sierra Nevada study shows
A two-decade-long experiment in the Sierra Nevada found that regular prescribed burns promote carbon sequestration in live trees and plants, maintaining forests' long-term ability to store carbon while also reducing wildfire hazard.

Fix Our Forests Fiasco

Without wanting to detract from the main thrust of the article, I find the usage "new species" interestingly anthropocentric.

A new frog species emerges from Peru’s cloud forests — and it’s already at risk
Deep within the cloud forests of the San Martín region of Peru lie two places so high, cold and remote that they remained virtually unexplored for decades. In 2022, and again in 2025, monitors from three Indigenous and local associations guided a team of scientists from Peru and France on a series of expeditions to […]

In the Andes, elections ride on political frustrations and social movements
The Andean Republics, like many nations in Hispanic America, have a historical tradition of electing charismatic presidents who use their electoral success to subjugate legislatures and dominate political parties. Over the last couple of decades, presidential candidates have extended this approach by abandoning legacy parties to create new political instruments that would be considered campaign […]

AI helps find trees in a forest: Researchers achieve 3D forest reconstruction from remote sensing data
Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more difficult. But now a team from Purdue University's Department of Computer Science and Institute for Digital Forestry and Germany's Kiel University has introduced a new AI method for isolating and reconstructing forest trees that they call TreeStructor.
