Matter: Under Threat, Flight May Be Best Response for Trees

New York Times: The whitebark pine grows in the high, cold reaches of the Rocky and Sierra Mountains, and some individuals, wind-bent and tenacious, manage to thrive for more than a thousand years. Despite its hardiness, the species may not survive much longer. A lethal fungus is decimating the pines, as are voracious mountain pine beetles. Making matters worse, forest managers have suppressed the fires that are required to stimulate whitebark pine seedlings. Half of all whitebark pines are now dead or...

Trees Growing Significantly Faster in Warming Climate, Study Finds
2014-09-18 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: An analysis of data spanning 140 years from one of the world's oldest forest study sites indicates that trees have been growing significantly faster and stands have become larger since the 1960s. The study, published in Nature Communications, was based on 600,000 individual tree surveys conducted since 1870 at a central European forest study site. European beech and Norway spruce, the dominant tree species in the experimental plots, grew 77 and 32 percent faster, respectively, than they did 50 years...

Trees Are Growing Faster Than Ever Before

Nature World: Recent research has revealed that trees across the world continue to grow significantly faster than they did before the 1960s, but what's the cause? Experts from Technische Universität München (TUM) provide evidence and speculation about this mysterious phenomenon in a recent study. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, details how the rate of tree growth, particularly in Central Europe, has increased by up to 70 percent over the last few decades. These findings were...

Climate change means rate of growth of trees has gone up by 77%
2014-09-17 19:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The speed at which trees grow has accelerated considerably since the 1960s by as much as 77 per cent in the case of the beech as climate change increases the temperature and lengthens the growing season, according to new research. The rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is accelerating global warming is also playing a role in enhancing tree growth, as is the growing prevalence of nitrogen that has resulted from increasing car numbers, scientists said. A study by...
United Kingdom: Climate change: why we need to change our taste in trees

Telegraph: Climate change remains a hot topic, but it's hard to ignore the fact that things are getting warmer. Any trees you plant this autumn should still be giving pleasure in 2050, when they could be living in the kind of temperatures now found five degrees of latitude farther south. So we need to be aware of the possibilities -- and challenges -- this offers. Professionals responsible for planting thousands of trees a year are going through an exciting time. Historic commercial considerations mean that...
