Au revenit după 30 de ani într-o pădure folosită pentru un experiment. Rezultatul a fost neașteptat

A long-abandoned forest experiment revealed that intensive thinning led to larger trees, increased carbon storage, and better conditions for rare species. The study compared various logging methods in mountain eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Australia, showing that clear-cut areas regenerated best. Surprisingly, intensively thinned areas produced significantly larger trees and stored equal or more carbon than untouched forests. This suggests that such management practices can enhance forest resilience and support rare species like the Leadbeater's possum.
