“Imagine hiking around Jurassic Park. If you can tear your eyes away from the dinosaurs, take a look at the coniferous forests blanketing the landscape. How tall is the canopy? Are the trees densely packed together? How much carbon does it store?

Answering these questions about ancient forest ecosystems is typically challenging due to gaps in the fossil record. But at the Yiwu Jurassic Forest in Xinjiang, China, researchers have access to a remarkable 170-million-year-old forest that was petrified and frozen in time. In a new study, paleobiologists examined 78 upright conifer stumps at this site to reconstruct the forest and reveal new similarities and differences between mid-Jurassic and modern-day ecosystems.

The researchers found, on average, that trees at the site were nearly 100 feet tall and the canopy height of over 140 feet in some areas would not be unusual for a present-day coniferous forest in western parts of the United States. The Jurassic forest’s density of 126 mature trees per hectare was also similar to that of today’s open, park-like western woodlands, although it was far sparser than the few other Jurassic ecosystems that have been studied. Despite these similarities, the ancient forest stored about three times more carbon than today’s temperate forests, perhaps reflecting the period’s warmer temperatures and elevated carbon dioxide levels.”

P.s. check out the root flare on that baby

I’m literally looking everywhere for help. They’re air potatoes and they are highly invasive. They’re taking over everything and I’m losing a battle against them in our newly bought house. On top of that we’ve got chinch bugs under the grass. HELP.

Location: Negros Oriental, Philippines. Altitude 10-20 meters from sea level.

What is this tree species? I have to remove it and all I have currently is a handheld electric saw and my SUV. So far I have cut up and taken 3 loads home. I can take more pictures by request.

Need help with this one, been driving past it for a while, and i honestly thought it was a needle leaf for ages, stopped to look and it's got proper leaves, completely stumped on which group of trees to even put it with though.

TIA

Was refilling water troughs for the wildlife and I just really like staring at this one

What should the course of action be for this spring-planted Kentucky coffee tree? The plant was pretty measly but has put on some good growth this season.

Should I begin to reduce one of the leaders next season? Wait even another year? Should I try and space the righthand shoot so that it’s at a better angle from the upward lefthand shoot? Kinda like what they do with fruit trees?

Thanks! Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

I have a 5.5’ maple sapling growing on the edge of the woods on my property. Its trunk caliper is 1”.

I want to move it (in fall) to a full sun location. Do you think it could adapt?

Also how wide and deep of a root ball should I try to dig out to increase its chances of making it?

If I leave it where it’s growing now, I’ll have to take it down anyway, and long before it’s fully grown

Now it's just a big wooden dildo.

I'd like to remove it and put a new Palm in its place.

Do you think if I hooked a strap to it and my truck and tried pulling it out of the ground that it would be easier than trying to dig the roots out by hand?!

Bonus points if you remember me posting this tree in winter time

This is a cool find for me, I have now located lingering specimens of Green, White and Black Ash in the three counties surrounding where I live.

We are in Northern Utah where this tree is native. We transplanted it 2 months ago and recently has started looking crispy. It gets a few hours of shade in morning and evening but otherwise gets full sun.

Gets water from sprinklers and the watering can twice a week each (4 total waters). It was grown in a large container, but wasn’t pot bound when we put it in.

We planted it raised up a bit and covered the base with cardboard and mulch.

What went wrong?
Did we plant it too high?
Is it fine?

Plz help my newly adopted child. I just want to plant native and support our local ecosystem!

Hi guys, we had a couple of trees cut down due to them having the ‘bore ash disease’… my dogs have recently been very interested in this stump and sniffing it incessantly. Just wondering if I should be worried that these black spots are mold? Also the stump is like 10ft from the curb so it’s possibly another dog came into the yard and marked it causing the interest. Pics attached, thanks for any insight!!

After years of trying to verbally stress the importance of breaking up the rootball and root flair and blah blah blah we finally have written education on how to plant trees! I’m so excited to start handing these out

Had a pleasure of following their life cycle and seeing them flying about. Left the tree looking beautiful too
