It's easy to think of trees as part of the landscape. But what if the trees were the landscape? That's what a new study by a researcher at the University of Georgia asks us to imagine. By considering ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species—the "family tree" of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...

Leonardo da Vinci’s sketch of a tree illustrates the principle that combined thickness is preserved at different stages of ramification. The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in ...

High-elevation treelines are a global phenomenon, but the large-scale ecological and physiological mechanisms that define their existence still elude ecologists. The upper altitudinal limit of trees ...
