I was just randomly thinking about the fact that some trees are over 10,000 years old. Other biennial plants don’t last that long, so what is it that helps trees survive for so long without withering into crumbs like other plants?
In: Biology
The question shouldn’t be how do some trees live so long, but why do trees die off in general?
Trees die off due to storms, flooding, fire, disease. Trees that live long have built up resistances to these things, or are in regions where they are not as common.
