Forest Research

📰🌲 A new study, published in Nature, and coordinated by INRAE and Bordeaux Sciences Agro reveals that conservative tree species—those efficient at conserving resources like water and nutrients—actually grow faster in real-world forest conditions than the traditionally faster-growing acquisitive species. This breakthrough, based on research across 160 experimental forests worldwide, shows how local conditions (soil quality, climate) play a huge role in tree growth and carbon sequestration. 🌱 For forest managers, this means the key to boosting carbon storage lies in choosing the right species for the environment. In tough climates, conservative species like fir and holm oak excel, while in more favourable conditions, acquisitive species like poplars and maples thrive. 🔗 Find out more: https://ow.ly/ExL750VkBqN #ForestManagement #TreeGrowth #SustainableForestry #CarbonSequestration #EnvironmentalResearch #ClimateAdaptation

🍃 With climate change leading to increased frequency of storms and winter rainfall, forests face growing threats like windthrow – uprooted trees – which causes timber loss and disruption 💡 Watch our new video to hear about strategies to help mitigate windthrow, including using ForestGALES, a tool that aids the prediction and management of wind risk. 🔗 Learn more: https://ow.ly/ng4s50VjZN8 #Forestry #Windthrow #ClimateChange #StormDamage #ForestManagement
