This pace suggests that by the end of a 100-year span, these deciduous forests might store 160 percent more carbon than the coniferous woods they replaced. “In 2005, ...

Carbon loss from boreal forest wildfires offset by increased dominance of deciduous trees. Science , 2021; 372 (6539): 280 DOI: 10.1126/science.abf3903 Cite This Page : ...

Analysis - Nigeria's forest cover has been dwindling fast for decades. With one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, there are concerns about the survival of its forest resources.

By the time deciduous forests are 100 years old, the typical interval between burns in this region, carbon pools are 1.6 times larger than in black spruce forests, according to our calculations.

“We confirmed that fires clearly shift forests from conifer to deciduous cover, but when we look at those changes over many decades, we find deciduous trees begin to be replaced again by conifer trees ...

Nigeria’s forests covered an estimated 175,000km² in 1990 and 135,000km² in 2000. Between 2000 and 2004, the country was said to have lost 55.7% of its primary forests ...

There are deciduous forests. Deciduous trees have leaves that turn color in the autumn and then fall off. New leaves grow back in the spring. There are coniferous forests.

The boreal forest is dominated by coniferous trees that are very well adapted to these conditions. Conifers are evolutionarily older than broad-leaved deciduous trees.
