Description
How do trees grow, and why should we care? Trees play a vital role in fighting climate change by storing carbon in their wood. By monitoring tree growth and learning about the environmental conditions they need, we can predict how they’ll react in the future. This helps us understand how trees will handle changes in their surroundings.
Presented by Dr. Eugenie Mas, forest ecologist, ForestGEO, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
