An international research team, including experts from the Ecological-Botanical Garden (ÖBG) at the University of Bayreuth, has demonstrated in a new study that native tree species in Argentina grow at a similar rate to introduced North American pine species—contrary to previous assumptions. Moreover, the exotic pines displace native trees and increase the risk of forest fires, especially in the context of climate change. The researchers published their findings in Forest Ecology and Management.
