Mixed forests are more productive than monocultures. This is true on all five continents, and particularly in regions with high precipitation. These findings from an international overview study ...

Mixed forests are especially effective at carbon storage, as different species with complementary traits can increase overall carbon storage. Compared to single-species forests, mixed forests are also ...

To slow the effects of climate change, conserve biodiversity, and meet the sustainable development goals, replanting trees is vital. Restored forests store carbon within the forest’s soil, shrubs, and ...

Here, we propose a method termed ‘mixed random forest’ that simultaneously accounts for population structure and captures nonlinear genetic effects.

A new study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Future Forests shows that mixed forests, in comparison with monocultures, have positive effects on several different ...

A mixed forest leads to less damage to trees, according to extensive data analysed by researchers. Credit: Jan Bengtsson Forests with few tree species pose a considerably higher risk of ...

The Swedish national forest inventory has collected extensive data from Swedish forests. Since 2003, data on forest damages have also been collected. In the current study, the research group has ...

In Chile, 19% of burned mixed forests (where primary and secondary forests coexist with crops, for example) became grasslands. Study co-author Ángela Hernández, ...

U.S. forests are great at capturing carbon in the atmosphere and storing carbon in long-lived products such as lumber and plywood. However, according to regulators, carbon offsets are supposed to ...
