Ghost forests are an increasingly common sight along the eastern coast of the U.S., where once-healthy trees have been replaced by bare trunks. Now, scientists believe these arboreal cemeteries could hold clues on how to build resilience to climate change in coastal habitats and predict which forests are most vulnerable.

Oak trees have a surprising trick to fight back against hungry caterpillars: they simply wait. When trees are heavily attacked one year, they delay leaf growth by just three days the next spring—long enough to leave newly hatched caterpillars with nothing to eat. This small shift slashes insect survival and reduces leaf damage by more […]
