Topic: Years of the Trees

	Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping, and in agriculture supplying orchard crops (such as apples).
		The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form.
		The oldest trees are determined by growth ring counts in cores taken from the edge to the centre of the tree or from entire cross-sections.

	Years of the Trees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, the Years of the Trees are one of the three great time-periods of Arda.
		They follow the Years of the Lamps and precede the Years of the Sun, and are known to comprise several Ages.
		The Elves awoke in Cuiviénen in the middle of Middle-earth, and were soon approached by Oromë of the Valar; and by Melkor.

		At maturity, trees are usually the tallest of plants, and their height and single main stem differentiate them from shrubs, which are shorter and have many stems.
		The bark of the yew tree is the source of the drug taxol, which in 1992 was approved for treating ovarian cancer.
		Broadleaf trees include virtually all of the familiar trees and shrubs that are known to flower, such as the elm, chestnut, alder, birch, and willow, as well as tropical species such as teak and mahogany.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Years of the Trees
		The long years that lay between the founding of Valinor and its Darkening.
		Melkor was imprisoned in the halls of Mandos, and the Valar and Eldar dwelt together in the light of the Trees.
		Valian years are rather longer than solar years - one Valian Year is equivalent to about 9.582 Years of the Sun, so the Years of the Trees lasted in the region of 14,325 years, in our terms.

	Trees
		Tree roots aerate the soil, by creating openings within it that allow the passage of water, oxygen, and organic materials to deeper soil layers, and encourage the growth of microorganisms that are critical to soil fertility.
		Trees have been used for countless centuries as a symbol of the recurring eternal cycles of nature, and the holy mysteries of life.
		From the mating of the tree and the vine were born a boy and a girl, who eventually married and became the ancestors of the Kayan.

	Fruit Trees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Dwarf trees are not as long-lived as the larger trees.
		Trees are commonly sold as 'bare root', meaning the roots are exposed, and the young tree is 3' to 6' tall.
		The tree has only so much energy to use to produce fruit, so thinning (removing some of the fruit) is essential to produce large fruit in some species, such as peach and apple.

		Trees, with their large and thick roots, helped break up the rocky crust of Earth's surface to create the soil that would allow the development of new plant species, including other trees.
		The earliest known modern tree is the Archaeopteris, a tree that looked similar to a Christmas tree with buds, reinforced branch joints and wood similar to today's timber.
		Trees evolved some 180 million years after the Cambrian explosion when the land masses were mostly south of the equator and Pangaea had begun to form.

		For instance, the willow tree at the edge of the playground and the trees between the office building and the playground are gone now.
		First, regarding the willow tree: Due to this tree’s unique shape, children were naturally drawn to climb on its limbs, thus girdling the trunks over many years and causing it to die.
		Years ago, many trees were placed around the park in locations unsuitable for their species during these abnormally wet seasons.

	A Lake Elmo family has been growing trees for 20 years
		Inside: At any time during the year, Debbie and Neil Krueger have about 25,000 cultivated trees and 10 acres of native woods growing on their 48 acres, continuing a family tradition of supplying Christmas trees to the St. Croix Valley.
		Trees cleanse the air of toxic gases and pollutants and remove carbon dioxide from the air.
		Winter is hardest on the trees, and young trees can sunburn if there isn¹t enough snow.² In the fall, the Kruegers spray the pines green so that they don¹t turn yellow, then they decide how many trees they can cut that year, and they go through the fields and tag the ones to be cut.

		After the tree has become established, the goal will be to replace nutrients removed with the fruit and to provide enough nutrients to sustain continued tree growth.
		For mature bearing trees on well-drained soils, three applications of fertilizer per year are sufficient, one application in the fall or winter followed by a second application in the late spring or early summer and a third in late summer.
		For trees planted on coarse, shallow soils and where the root system is limited, more frequent applications (3-4 times per year) will result in better utilization of nutrients and reduce leaching.

	11.4. Planting the Future - The Greening of Azerbaijan - 30 Million Trees in Last Two Years by Musa Shakiliyev
		Azerbaijan had a forestry program for quite a number of years, but in 2001 when the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources was created with Husein Baghirov as Minister, a national program was established, not only to protect forests, but to initiate a vast, intensive reforestation program throughout the country.
		Trees are also useful for food such as nuts - such as walnuts and hazelnuts - and abundant fruit such as pomegranates, mulberries, persimmons, quince and many more.
		In the south, in the Lankaran region, oak trees comprise 90 percent of the forest growth.

	Wollemi carboniferous trees, thought to be extinct for thirty million years, discovered in Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The tallest tree had a single trunk measuring about a metre in diameter, but many had between 10 and 20 smaller trunks sprouting from their base.
		What that research reveals is that the trees, named Wollemia nobilis - partly in homage to Noble and partly because of their majesty-are both surprisingly unusual and ordinary The Wollemi pine is a conifer, a group of seed bearing trees dating back to the Carboniferous era more than 300 million years ago.
		In three years they have uncovered just one more stand of 17 trees, at an even more secluded spot about a kilometre upstream from the first-the exact whereabouts of the gorge is kept secret to protect the trees.

	FERA Abstracts -- Condition of Fire-Scarred Ponderosa Pine Trees Six Years After Removing Partial Cross Sections
		Although mortality was significantly higher for the sectioned trees than their neighbors (8% versus 1%), removing a partial section did not appear to increase a tree's susceptibility to death from factors such as wind or insect activity.
		Mortality among sectioned trees in this study was low probably because we removed relatively small sections, averaging 7 cm thick and 8% of the tree's cross-sectional area, from large trees of a species with effective, resin-based defenses against insects and pathogens.
		Sampling live ponderosa pine trees appears to be a non-lethal method of obtaining information on past fire regimes in this region because it only infrequently led to their death in the early years after sampling.

	Sapwood development in Pinus radiata trees grown for three years at ambient and elevated carbon dioxide partial ...
		Trees in the low-N treatment were not supplied with N but received the same amount of other nutrients as trees in the high-N treatment.
		In the first year, stem basal area increased more in trees growing at elevated CO partial pressure and high-N supply than in control trees, suggesting a positive interaction between these resources.
		Thus, during the first year of growth, an elevated CO partial pressure enhanced carbon (C) and N storage in woody stems, but there was no further stimulus to C and N deposition after the first year.

		Furthermore, the mean estimated regeneration year of 10 trees predate the earliest European contact with the Canberra region (December 1820).
		Based on visual estimation of stem diameters from the piles of felled trees in the path of the GDE, we conclude that the vegetation (before clearing occurred) was definitely not "young" (~40 year) regrowth.
