China gained planted forest cover but natural forests grew more fragmented
A new study has found that China's large-scale tree planting programmes expanded overall forest cover over three decades, adding 447,500 square kilometres of planted forest. However, researchers found that plantations frequently expanded near the edges of natural forests, leading to increased habitat fragmentation. This fragmentation disrupted connected natural ecosystems, raising ecological concerns despite the headline gains in total forest area. The study also noted a positive finding: China's Natural Forest Protection Program helped slow fragmentation within protected areas.

France records first known pyrocumulonimbus as wildfires sweep Europe
France has documented its first known 'fire cloud', known scientifically as a pyrocumulonimbus, amid a wave of extreme wildfires across Europe. This rare phenomenon forms when intense heat from a wildfire drives smoke, air, and moisture high into the atmosphere, creating a towering storm system. The resulting cloud is capable of generating powerful winds, lightning, and even new fires. This effectively allows a wildfire to influence or generate its own weather conditions, making containment significantly more difficult.
