Drones help solve tropical tree mortality mysteries
Febrero 09, 2022
Understanding when and where trees die in vast tropical forests is a challenging first step toward understanding carbon dynamics and climate change. Researchers explained variations in tree mortality over a five-year period by analyzing drone images of one of the most-studied tropical forests in the world, Barro Colorado Island in Panama.

Animals reforest
Animals are key to restoring the world’s forests
Diciembre 02, 2022
Animals will help restore tropical forests if people locate reforestation projects near existing forest reserves and control hunting.
Scientist
Kristina Anderson-Teixeira
I specialize in forest ecosystem ecology, global change ecology, and climate protection through forest conservation. My approach combines data synthesis and analysis, quantitative ecology, and field research and focuses on understanding how climate — and climate change — shape ecosystems, and...
