Trees in the rainforest are dying twice as fast as four decades ago, according to new research.

Life expectancy has halved in the wet tropics of North Queensland - an area stretching 280 miles along the north east coast of Australia.

Global warming is increasing the drying power of the atmosphere. More extreme weather events such as cyclones are also being blamed.
 
A similar phenomenon has been identified in the Amazon, Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea.
