Trees that until now have become paper and wood should soon also be used for clothing, windows and fuel for cars, boats, and aircrafts. And in order to have a sufficient supply of wood, scientists must ensure that the forests grow faster and are capable of doing so in a future changing climate. Watch the new possibilities by the forest related research in a new video by KAW!
