An Oxford University study has measured the rate at which trees in the Amazon basin in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia inhale carbon from the atmosphere during severe drought. The research has focused on the growth rates and photosynthesis of trees in 13 rainforest areas and has compared the sectors that were most affected by the severe drought in 2010 with the areas that were not affected.
The meteorite that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago destroyed many more slow-growing evergreens than faster-growing deciduous trees.
Contrary to what was thought, that monoculture forests are more productive, a study by the Group of Forest Ecology and Restoration of the University of Alcalá has shown that biological diversity increases the carbon storage capacity
A little more than 50 million years ago, the appearance of the frozen continent was not as we know it today. If man could travel to the past and travel to Antarctica, surely he would not need to be lined with thermal and waterproof clothing as in current expeditions, since the temperatures would be warm and pleasant. These are the conclusions of a study published in Nature, which reveals that during the Lower Eocene Antarctica was covered with tropical forests.
An international team of scientists led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Germany) has analyzed the fossil teeth of Australopithecus sediba, which lived less than two million years ago. The results indicate that these primitive hominins ate leaves, fruits and bark, which shows that they were able to live in wooded environments and not in open habitats of the savannah as until now thought.
