For good measure
A global standard for forest carbon storage requires ground-based measurements
Octubre 04, 2024
To create a global standard for forest carbon storage, we need boots on the ground. The GEO-TREES system of forest plots offers this immediately: establishing a single method for forest carbon estimation at existing on-the-ground forest study sites around the world.
New plant species
Six new species named: 3 from Panama, 3 from Colombia
Diciembre 26, 2024
Plant collections are full of surprises. It may take decades to id plant samples, but it’s worth the effort, especially when some of these species are not known from anywhere else on Earth.
