post trees in your country
>>203498926No big trees in Siberia almost in every forest you see trees are young
>>203498994Are they young or do the trees out there just not grow that tall? Was there a lot of deforestation out there? Feels like that'd be hard to accomplish given the sheer size of Siberia and how remote it is
>>203498926cutting down a redwood tree should result in an immediate execution of the perpetrator and his entire family.
>>203499165Science people say its because of the Forrest fires that are usual thing here
>>203499202another picture
>>203499202>>203499279Are there many known very old patagonian cypresses, or is Gran Abuelo just an extreme outlier? The age range it's dated at is pretty wide.
>>203499331Latest estimates place Gran abuelo at ~5000 years old and it's not very known(which is a good thing) so research is slow, most younger estimates are due to the fact that only a quarter of the tree is alive, mostly the roots, so measuring a dead part of the trunk only yields the age at where that part died>is Gran Abuelo just an extreme outlier?There are a lot of alerces over 2000 years old, here's one, but Gran abuelo is still a giant outlier
>>203499540Chile is on my long term bucket list for the valdivian temperate forests. How would you say the accessibility is for an American with almost no Spanish knowledge?
>>203499279>>203499202i have a young alerce in my property <3i also have a lot of dead alerce wood around, i dig up pieces constantly. so sad they were nearly all cut down or even burned>>203499641tourist guides speak english, and young people usually do too, but knowing no spanish at all it would be a bit hard to get around.
>>203499641Sorry I have no idea, I've never been there myself, but do visit queulat in my stead>>203499883Makes me wonder how many even older alerces were cut down when it was being settled
>>203499883>so sad they were nearly all cut down or even burnedSounds like the same story repeats itself every time old growth gets discovered by myopic people.I'll definitely make the effort to relearn what Spanish I've lost since highschool and then some; worth it for nature like what's down there.>>203499992>Makes me wonder how many even older alerces were cut down when it was being settledThe oldest known bristlecone was recklessly killed. It's quite likely that the tallest trees were felled, though the tallest estimated (like Nooksack) are subject to doubt because they push up against the ceiling of what's physically possible. Something like 96% of old growth redwoods were cut before conservation groups put an end to it.
>>203499967Wonder if other languages have a word for trees growing like weeds.
>>203498926You have a big ass
>>203499992probably a lot, in an neighborhooding lot, there's an alerce stump like 5m in diameter. it's truly gigantic, pic doesn't really capture it.
>>203500168If I understand correctly, such an environment is called a thicket, or, colloquially, "the brush", "the bush", or "the briar".
>>203499992I think that view outdoes this one I experienced in Olympic National Park
>>203500277This one's specifically for small trees growing like that. When it's a bunch of random branches and twigs more generally, it's a "snår" (cognate with "snare" in English, so can see how it works).Not the most essential word, but thought of it now ...

>>203500855these ones are particularly cool
>>203500855>>203500890>The wind there is bitter; it cuts like a knife>It keeps that tree holding on for dear lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBO8ff-KlSw
something more touristy
>>203501222attempt 2
>>203501283mossy
this one is probably hundreds of years old
>>203501283post more of this mossy kind of temperate rainforest! I wish I had the money/skills to live in them indefinitely
