Old Douglas firs are very fire-resistant, due largely to the protective bark that develops with age. In contrast, the thin bark of young trees offers little protection,even from low-intensity fires. The thin bark begins to thicken and develop vertical fissures as trees mature, but can take up to 200 years to become hardy & fire restistant. ...
Unwelcome vegetation on the orchard floor competes with trees for water and nutrients reducing tree growth and productivity, and can be a host for pathogens and insect pests. ...
Bioswales are built in city sidewalks and do not result in the loss of any parking spaces. They resemble standard street tree pits, except that they vary in size, have curb cuts that allow stormwater to enter and overflow, and have been designed in a way that will allow them to manage between 1,300 and 3,000 gallons each during a storm. ...

While previous experiments have shown the damaging effect of drier soils on beech, this new research from Germany shows for the first time that reduced air humidity ...
On the grounds of the Central Park Bandshell, art tables were set up with free blank canvas and supplies, so people could paint their vision and bring the completed work back to artist Paul Kostabi to assemble in a 500 foot mural, billed as the world's longest eco-mural. But two tree-planters participating in a canoe launch into the Harlem River were arrested Saturday afternoon ...
One issue of concern is the relationship between above ground (e.g. by trees) and below ground (e.g. by soil microbes) carbon cycling. Soil fertility appears to play an important role in this process as higher CO2 levels lead to greater competition between microbes and trees for soil nutrients, according to new research. ...
