Some tropical trees cool their leaves to survive the heat - but not all species have ways to cope How do you cool yourself on a hot day? Perhaps you find shade, switch on a fan or retreat to air conditioning? But spare a thought for tropical forest trees. As the climate warms, they must either adjust to the...

'Overlooked' thunderstorms kill billions of tropical trees each year, study finds Drought stress, rising carbon dioxide, global heating and wildfires are widely recognised as major causes of tree death in tropical forests. But a new study points to a lesser-known culprit: The growing frequency of thunderstorms, now emerging as a significant...

Tropical tree deaths are increasing, even in untouched forests Tropical trees are dying at faster rates than ever before. While deforestation continues to be a major issue, even untouched forests are seeing increased rates of tree death. Scientists have long pointed to drought, extreme heat, and wildfires as key...

Post - Mary Snoddy Creating beautiful flower gardens is satisfying, but part of me is thrilled when I grow something edible. This is the genetic result of my grandparents’ farming background, I suppose. Two years ago, I...

I have an exciting new plant in my southeastern US, Zone 8 garden. Eriobotrya is borderline cold hardy here, so my is a container resident that will overwinter in the greenhouse. A love, evergreen, exotic-looking tree. 🌱

Tropical tree in Panama has evolved to kill its 'enemies' with lightning Scientists discover trees in the lowland rainforests of Panama that use lightning strikes to their advantage. Lightning is usually seen as a harbinger of destruction in forests, killing or damaging trees in their blasts. But in the lowland rainforests of...

Some Tropical Trees Like The Feel Of Lightning On Their Branches Lightning is a major threat to big trees, even where forest fires are rare. However, natural selection is a powerful force, and one species of forest giant has learned to make lemonade out of life’s lemons, new research suggests. Not...

Getting hit by lightning is good for some tropical trees In the dense forests of Panama, where competition for sunlight is fierce, one tree species has evolved an unusual survival strategy—getting struck by lightning. New research reveals that Dipteryx oleifera trees not only survive direct lightning strikes with minimal damage...

Why These Tropical Trees Love a Lightning Strike Being struck by lightning is something humans generally try to avoid. But for at least one tropical tree species, this doesn’t hurt—and might even be a good thing. Scientists have long believed that being hit by lightning could have only...

Rising CO2 levels have made tropical trees more efficient The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has been increasing rapidly, leading to severe climate consequences. However, researchers at Wageningen University have identified an unexpected benefit of rising CO2 levels: tropical trees have become more efficient at photosynthesis...

Scale-dependent responses to environmental fluctuations in tropical tree species' crown temperatures We detected more interspecific differences at the leaf-scale after removing the influence of crown architecture (after filters 2a and 2b; Figs. 2a and 3a, b, Supplementary Fig. 6 and Supplementary Table 1). We also detected larger relative differences between species...
