Title: July
Description: Over 30% of the world’s forests are in the far North, with boreal forests covering 17% of the Earth’s land surface area and acting as a major storage area for carbon. As a result of the warming climate, these forests may be in decline. Contributory factors may include a slowing growth of some trees as temperatures rise, drought stress, and infestations of destructive insects whose range is expanding.
