Technology can boost farming in Africa, but it can also threaten biodiversity - how to balance the two

Labour, yields, and biodiversity are all elements of agriculture that need to be balanced.
What strategies are the best to make forests more resilient and better adapted to new climate conditions? (Claude Villeneuve)

Can the boreal forest be used to concretely fight climate change?

Can planting trees help us solve the climate crisis? Probably, but to what extent?
Warmer temperatures could lengthen the growing season of trees and consequently increase their growth rate. (Shutterstock)

Climate change is making trees bigger, but also weaker

A longer growing season for trees, due to global warming, does not necessarily lead to an increase in wood production.

The invisible effects of human activity on nature

Human activities can affect plants and have consequences for the human populations that consume them.

Beavers are the undiscovered engineers of the boreal forest

Beavers are an important ecosystem engineer in the boreal forest and researchers are demystifying their secrets.
In North America, log driving is thought to have stopped by the end of the 20th century, with the exception of British Columbia, where it is still practised on a small scale. (Shutterstock)

What log driving can teach us about forests, past and present

Logging over the past two centuries has had a major impact on Québec’s forests. The traces it has left will guide the adoption of sustainable forest management techniques.

Forest fires: North America’s boreal forests are burning a lot, but less than 150 years ago

North America’s boreal forests have been burning a lot, probably more and more over the past 60 years. Yet the long-term trend indicates that they are burning less than they were 150 years ago.
Trees are rooted to the ground — but they move into new areas as the wind carries their seeds or seedlings are planted. (Shutterstock)

How to move without legs or wings: Helping trees migrate to new regions

The rapidly changing climate presents many challenges for the sustainability of forest ecosystems. Assisting the migration of trees is a tool to address these challenges.
