Are Trees Alive?

Some fungi look like fragile spiderwebs, but these tiny tubes act like superhighways underground. André-Ph. D. Picard, CC BY-SA Wohlleben used to be a coldhearted butcher of trees and forests. His training dictated it. In forestry school, he was taught that trees needed to be thinned, that helicopter-spraying of pesticides and herbicides was essential, and that heavy machinery was the best logging equipment, even though it tears up soil and rips apart the mycorrhizae. For more than 20 years, he worked like this, in the belief that it was best for the forests he had loved since childhood.

Another bristlecone pine ‘ Prometheus’, named after the Greek mythological figure, was cut down in 1964 after attempts to take a core sample went awry. It was only later that they discovered Prometheus was over 4,800 years old - the oldest recorded tree at that time. 12 Trees can live an incredibly long time, depending on what kind they are. Some bristlecone pines, for instance, are among the oldest known trees and are more than 4,000 years old. Others, like lodgepoles or poplars, will have much shorter life spans, from 20 to 200 years. The biggest trees in your neighborhood or town are probably somewhere in that range.

Alive. [11] [12] New unconfirmed estimation of 5,484 years would make it the oldest (non-clonal) tree in the world. [13] Located within Alerce Costero National Park. [14] Covers 107 acres (0.43km 2) and has around 47,000 stems (aged up to 130 years), which continually die and are renewed by its roots. Is also the heaviest-known organism, weighing 6,000 tonnes. Herbaceous plants have many of these features too: they have stems to support their weight, they have xylem and phloem to carry water and nutrients, and they have root systems. These features just don't have to do as much as they would in a plant that's several hundred feet tall.Wood is one of the most amazing structures in the world because it's an adaptation that simultaneously solves multiple problems," Kimmerer said.
