Costa Rica mapped nearly 500 dominant tree species to understand which forests can protect biodiversity
- PC: AI GeneratedThe trees that dominate one forest can be very different from those found just a few kilometres away.
- A study has mapped this variation across the country by examining 364 forest plots and nearly 59,000 trees representing 1,333 species.
- Researchers identified 495 dominant tree species that helped separate the forests into 10 distinct groups.
