(IN BRIEF) TUM researchers estimate that lightning kills about 320 million trees each year—damage that has been difficult to detect and previously underestimated. By augmenting the LPJ-GUESS global vegetation model with observational data and global lightning patterns, the team quantified … Read the full press release
