In an amazing discovery, a fossilized, 298-million-year-old forest has been found under a coal mine near Wuda, in Inner Mongolia, China. Like the Roman city of Pompeii, the 10,763-square-foot (1,000-square-meter) forest was preserved by ash from the eruption of an ancient volcano.]]> http://change.nature.org/2012/02/22/298-million-year-old-forest-found-in-china/feed/ 0 http://change.nature.org/2012/02/21/drought-claims-half-a-billion-trees-in-texas/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=drought-claims-half-a-billion-trees-in-texas http://change.nature.org/2012/02/21/drought-claims-half-a-billion-trees-in-texas/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:50:01 +0000 Stephanie Hedean http://change.nature.org/?p=5758

With these kinds of numbers we’re looking at a loss of about 10 percent of the city trees and 10 percent of the forest trees in the entire state.]]> http://change.nature.org/2012/02/21/drought-claims-half-a-billion-trees-in-texas/feed/ 1 http://change.nature.org/2012/01/23/improving-forestry-for-nature-people-and-the-climate/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=improving-forestry-for-nature-people-and-the-climate http://change.nature.org/2012/01/23/improving-forestry-for-nature-people-and-the-climate/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:50:49 +0000 Mark Tercek http://change.nature.org/?p=5242
