Although Earth gained forest cover between 1960 and 1970, the study documented losses every decade after that, with deforestation accelerating rapidly starting in the 1990s. By 2010 to 2019 ...

Through the Trinational Atlantic Forest platform, annual land cover and land use maps were created covering the years from 1985 to 2021. The new collection of maps showed that the biome lost 11 ...

MORE: How climate change is now threatening the survival of fire-adaptive sequoia trees Tree cover loss due to fires is now twice as high as it was in 2001, with forest fires destroying about 7.4 ...

accounting for 23% of Earth's forest cover, the researchers decoupled the link between the width of each growth ring and climate, so as to identify seismic-specific effects. Tree rings were dated ...

the researchers found that it is critical to maintain a minimum of 40 percent forest cover. They also find that a distance of 133 metres (approximately 435 feet) or less between forested areas ...
