Huge New Study Estimates There Are 9,200 Tree Species on Earth Yet To Be Discovered
Jan 31, 2022
Number of Earth’s tree species estimated to be 14% higher than currently known, with some 9,200 species yet to be discovered.
A new study involving more than 100 scientists from across the globe and the largest forest database yet assembled estimates that there are about 73,000 tree species on Earth, including about 9,200 species yet to be discovered.
The global estimate is about 14% higher than the current number of known tree species. Most of the undiscovered species are likely to be rare, with very low populations and limited spatial distribution, the study shows.
