Resilient Trees oleh Raina Mooncrest

In an era of intensifying climate change, Resilient Trees explores the remarkable survival strategies of specific tree species facing wildfires, floods, and extreme temperatures. The book highlights how understanding the genetic and physiological adaptations of these trees is vital for conservation and sustainable forestry. It reveals intriguing facts, such as the cork oak's fire-resistant bark and the bald cypress's ability to thrive in waterlogged soils, illustrating nature's ingenious solutions to environmental challenges.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of wildfire-resistant, flood-tolerant, and extreme-temperature-thriving trees. Beginning with an overview of global forest challenges, it progresses through detailed examinations of species like the ponderosa pine, mangrove trees, and bristlecone pine, showcasing their unique adaptations. The evidence presented is drawn from scientific literature, field studies, and genomic analyses. This approach bridges academic research with practical applications, making it a valuable resource for ecologists, foresters, and anyone interested in the intersection of biology and climate change.
