Far less expansive than the tropical kind, temperate rainforests occur in isolated patches and strips around the world from the coasts of western North America and eastern Siberia, to throughout much of New Zealand and Tasmania. In a new study published recently in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, researchers warn...

Greenwich Time: Imagine never again hearing the ethereal four-syllable call of the veery, that small forest thrush that sings in the summertime in Greenwich's woodlands. Try to picture life in Greenwich without the blue-winged warbler, a favorite of local bird watchers, or the dunlin -- a shorebird seen in both spring and fall at Greenwich Point. It could happen. According to a recent report by the National Audubon Society, these birds are just a few of the local species that may disappear from Greenwich and its...
