Maritime pine seeds remember temperature conditions

The seeds of maritime pines remember the temperatures they experienced during early development. This memory persists in young trees for at least two years after germination. The above discovery was made by researchers at ...

Tree species guide unlocks benefits for UK farmers

A new guide has been launched today (Tuesday, 26 November) to help U.K. farmers reap the benefits of agroforestry—a type of sustainable farming that involves planting trees and shrubs among crops or livestock.
