Nature World: Forests help mitigate climate change by storing carbon that would otherwise end up in the atmosphere. It appears, however, that more than 250 years of forest management in Europe has had the opposite effect. "The current assumption is that all forest management and all forests contribute to climate mitigation," Dr. Kim Naudts, a postdoctoral ecologist at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, said in a statement. "We cannot say that is true, at least for Europe." Between...
Some trees might slow climate change better than others

AOL: Planting trees to help fight climate-change works, right? Well, according to a new study that's not always the case. It turns out that conifer trees, like evergreens, may actually cause temperature increases where they've taken root in place of broad-leafed trees. For example, look at Europe where the study was focused. Once upon a time, its forests were largely leafy deciduous trees. Now, a majority of Europe's trees are managed by humans, and we've been planting trees like pines and spruces...
Some types of trees may make climate change worse, not better

Daily News: Everything you know about climate change is wrong. Trees -- long assumed to help limit the ugly effects of climate change -- may actually speed up global warming rates, according to a new study. A team of French-led scientists claim Europe has been planting the wrong kind of trees during its reforestation efforts since 1750, and in the process has made climate change worse -- not better. The theory is at odds with a widespread view that planting more trees helps human efforts to slow rising...
