Perhaps you’ve never heard the term espalier, a technique for training a tree or other plant against a trellis, but examples abound in Sonoma County. These range from ornamental vines on fences to ...

The reason why so many tree species can coexist in species-rich forests has long been a subject of debate in ecology. This question is key to understanding the mechanisms governing the dynamics and ...

Understanding the patterns underlying vegetation distribution is vital for creating predictive models to forecast responses of natural systems to global change. Savanna ecosystems cover at least 40 ...

What makes a tree a tree? Or rather, why can we recognize trees in even quite abstract depictions when they are so varied in nature? Researchers have found a clue in the branches, and used math to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A criss-cross pattern is now burnt into the tree trunk where the lights used to be, while a split in the trunk (right) is a dead ...
