Tree species maps for European forests Date: December 12, 2011 Source: European Forest Institute Summary: Researchers have released a set of 1x1 km tree species maps showing the distribution of 20 ...

More than 15,000 bat recordings in the Lake District help researchers produce the first detailed, large-scale species-specific bat distribution maps in a UK region.

Their international team then used the ForestGEO data to analyze the distribution of tree species in the forests and which processes are responsible for their spatial patterns.

Seabird species are amongst the worst affected by climate change, including those who rely on UK cliffsides for breeding such as kittiwakes, guillemots and Manx shearwaters. We’re lucky to have an ...

The researchers determined this by breaking down the range of each species into blocks of 110 by 110 kilometers (68 by 68 miles), and found that, on average, 50.2% of any given tree species ...

Trees are essential to life on Earth. They support ecosystems, store carbon, provide clean water, improve our health, and ...

The remaining 55% is made up of 120 other species. “Generally, you’ll find that 20% of tree species account for 80% of the total abundance,” Wu said. “This follows the Pareto Principle, a term coined ...
