Long-term forest study in Yosemite
To understand some processes in the natural environment often requires
long-term studies. A good example of this long-term approach is a recent
research programme in the US. Scientists in California have set up a
unique long-term experiment to track the life histories of some of the
world's oldest and tallest trees. The study aims to investigate whether
the giant trees are perishing as a result of climate change. |
