Why are there so many newly formed aerosol particles in the upper troposphere over tropical regions such as the Amazon? Tropical forests play an important role in global climate regulation; however, ...

Tropical forests have long been treated as slow, patient allies in the fight against climate change, quietly locking away ...

Using a new method to track groundwater levels and greenhouse gas emissions, researchers uncover the climate impact of ...

Ozone gas is reducing the growth of tropical forests -- leaving an estimated 290 million tons of carbon uncaptured each year, new research shows. Ozone gas is reducing the growth of tropical forests - ...

When you sip a cup of coffee or use a rubber band, you’re benefiting from tropical forests. These lush ecosystems provide countless products we rely on daily — from food to materials like wood and ...
