Forest loss and degradation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Rising global
wood demand threatens further damage to remaining native forests. Contrasting solutions …

Large old trees have many critical ecological functions. We collated information about
Australia's tallest and largest (by circumference) trees from several databases. The 20 tallest …

The way forests are defined, using terms such as ancient, old-growth, primary, sacred, or
intact forest landscapes, has far-reaching impacts on how, why, and where forests are …

Although forestry plantations dominate landscapes in many parts of the world, effects of
