#Stomata, which are the pores on the leaf surface which regulate CO2 coming into the leaf, but also the amount of water vapour lost (transpiration), react relatively slowly to environmental changes. One of my PhD students just got his first paper out, showing for beech that shade adapted leaves are more responsive to changes in light. This has consequences for shaded leaves in the canopy of forest : more responsive stomata have a more efficient CO2 uptake and thus #Photosynthesis. Plants under drought were also more responsive, reducing their amount of water lost by transpiration and increasing thereby their #WaterUseEfficiency.

Even in 2008 and 2009 #ClimateChange had already impacted growth trends in forest trees : based on 44 studies of temperate and boreal #forests Sergeant et al have shown that already in 2008, many EU forests showed negative growth trends, whereas before growth trends were stable. The good news is that drought tolerant species were less impacted.

"The voracious pine beetle’s renewed assault on Colorado forests expanded rapidly in 2025, chewing through nearly 150% more Front Range ponderosa pine than the year before, according to a new state forester’s report.

"The state’s urban canopy is also being nibbled to death — by the emerald ash borer. The ambitious invader showed up in six new cities in 2025 after years of warnings from local arborists about the spreading threat."

Plants – The lungs of Earth T-shirt

Plants, the lungs of planet Earth, Scientist and Philosopher.

The natural world, the plants, the trees are the lungs of the Earth allowing the more complex living lifeforms to live and evolve. Without them or if we damage these systems too much ecosystems will start to break down. Unfortunately we have been battering natural systems with our human progress at least since we started agriculture perhaps 11 or 12 centuries ago. All plants and trees effectively “breathe” in some form or another but more now than ever it is important to stop both forest and other ecosystem destruction such as meadows and prairies. We must also review where we plant new trees and what sort of trees we plant if we plant them at all. Rewilding is not just about planting any seedling anywhere because complex ecosystems have developed over centuries and millennia. In leaving these remaining wildernesses alone we must as humans leave them in peace for true rewilding and evolution to take place. 

Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them. (S&P)

TITLE: Does the smell of pine make you smarter?

URL: https://www.psypost.org/does-the-smell-of-pine-make-you-smarter/

Short-term exposure to essential oils from two tree species — the Douglas fir and the Hinoki cypress — produced no significant effects on mood, psychological stress, or cognitive performance in a well-designed laboratory study. Researchers noted that most participants could not reliably identify the scent they were smelling, according to research published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.

Research consistently shows that being outdoors — especially in forests — improves mood, reduces stress, and sharpens mental performance. But as cities grow and green spaces shrink, scientists are increasingly interested in whether the specific elements of nature that drive these benefits can be recreated indoors.

One underexplored candidate is smell. Forests are rich with airborne molecules released by trees, including substances called terpenes, which have been linked to reduced stress and improved immune function in prior studies. However, those earlier studies exploring cognitive performance were very small and produced inconsistent results.

The researchers behind this new study wanted to test the effects of tree scents more rigorously and in a larger sample, while also exploring whether the familiarity of a scent matters.

Led by Djo Juliette Fischer of the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf, together with Simone Kühn of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the team conducted two linked studies in Germany. In the first study, 68 participants (mean age 28.2 years, 53% female) were randomly assigned to either a Douglas fir group or a Hinoki cypress group.

Each participant completed the same tests on two separate days — once with the tree oil diffusing into the room, and once with plain water as a placebo — in a randomised order. Because the Douglas fir is a scent common to German forests while the Hinoki cypress is native to Japan, the design allowed researchers to test whether odour familiarity mattered.

When the first study produced a marginal hint of an effect on one vigilance measure in the Douglas fir group, a second study added 34 more Douglas fir participants to boost statistical power. Across both studies, participants completed seven cognitive tasks spanning working memory, attention control, task-switching, inhibition, vigilance, and executive control, alongside mood and stress questionnaires.

Neither tree scent produced any significant effects on any outcome. The initial hint of a vigilance benefit from the Douglas fir vanished once the larger combined sample was analysed. Crucially, additional statistical testing did not merely fail to find an effect — it provided strong evidence that no meaningful effect existed.

One potentially telling finding came from a small subgroup. Only around 15% of the participants in the second Douglas fir study correctly identified the scent as coming from a tree or forest. When looking at the 14 participants across both studies who correctly identified the origin of the scent, the researchers found tentative hints of reduced fatigue and sharper inhibition performance. This suggests that consciously recognising a smell as nature-related may be necessary for it to trigger psychological benefits.

As the researchers note, “most participants could not reliably identify the odour, suggesting limited conscious awareness and/or semantic associations.” Indeed, most participants in the second study who noticed any smell at all described it as citrusy, floral, or like a cleaning product.

Several aspects of the study design may have limited the chances of detecting an effect. For example, the researchers did not explicitly tell the participants the study involved scents, introducing the diffuser simply as a humidifier. Additionally, the 75-minute cognitive battery likely induced mental fatigue that could have masked subtle benefits. Previous studies showing stress-relief effects typically had participants sit and inhale the oil for a short period without any mental demands.

The researchers also note that individual tree essential oils cannot replicate the full chemical richness of real forest air, and the plain laboratory setting offered none of the visual or contextual cues that might help people associate a scent with nature.

The study, “Scent of trees: Investigating the short-term effects of two tree essential oils on mood, psychological stress, and cognition,” was authored by Djo Juliette Fischer and Simone Kühn.

Women’s Protect our forests T-shirt

This is a women’s organic cotton T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range.

Trees form a large part of the planet’s life support and regulatory systems that we and all other creatures depend on. We must stop cutting them down. It’s not just a question of planting new trees to replace old growth forests as they are more than just trees being complex evolved ecosystems. If you read the science press you will find that daily there are reports of further damage to these ultimately crucial parts of the Earth’s ecosystems and physical processes.

Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them. (S&P)

From Nature Canada on Bluesky:

#Biodiversity is not something distant or abstract. It is a part of us, and we are a part of it. It provides the food we eat, the air we breathe, the #climate that sustains us, and the medicines we rely on every day.
