The effects of a phenomenon called tree masting on ecosystems and food webs can be better understood thanks to new theoretical models validated by real world observations. The effects of a phenomenon ...

The Monitoring, Analysis and Modeling area of study focuses on the application of statistical and operations research methods and techniques used to sample, describe and predict how individual trees, ...

The number of trees killed could increase in the future According to their estimates, lightning kills about 320 million trees annually, accounting for 2.1% to 2.9% of all plant biomass loss annually.

When building computer models of the ecosystems that cover the earth’s surface, it is tempting to incorporate sweeping generalizations in your calculations. The difficulty, of course, is that there is ...

A new model aims to predict genetic changes that have unintended consequences in trees that researchers genetically modify. It could pave the way for more efficient research in the fields of both ...

A computer model may help explain why trees bloom at the same time, a new study suggests. In 2015, researchers developed a computer model showing that one of the most famous models in statistical ...

A "rule of trees" developed by Leonardo da Vinci to describe how to draw trees has been largely adopted by science when modeling trees and how they function. Now, scientists at Bangor University in ...
