China and the US unite to study forests in a warming world

Researchers from the United States and China collaborate with each other more than any other international pairing. The Harvard China Project brings together scientists from these nations to study and mitigate the effects of climate change. A goal of the project is to share knowledge and data about how different kinds of forests and vegetation affect carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
