Trees in a Warming World

Based on our projected densities, we estimate that over 15 billion trees are cut down each year, and the global number of trees has fallen by approximately 46% since the start of human civilization.

Crowther et al., 2015

Deforestation in the tropics is not only responsible for direct carbon emissions but also extends the forest edge where trees suffer increased mortality. Fragmentation substantially augments carbon emissions from tropical forests.

Brinck et al., 2017
