 Trees, forests and water: cool insights for a hot world14.02.2017Forests’ many life-sustaining functions as prime regulators within the water, energy and carbon cycles are still not universally recognized, a fact that the world ignores at its peril, a new article cautions.

Read more in the Global Environmental Change collaborative research paper “Trees, forests and water: cool insights for a hot world”, co-authored by technical staff from FAO, the World Agroforestry Centre, the Center for International Forestry Research and other institutions.
