The height of the trees is determined by the genetic genes of the tree species, and it is also affected and restricted by the external environment. In cities, a 30-meter-high tree is often prominent. In the vast forest, there are more than 80 meters of trees. If there are no special cases, can the trees grow infinitely?

Trees cannot grow indefinitely, mainly because they are affected by the earth's gravity. Plants are known to be powered by the evaporation of water from pores on the surface of their leaves to absorb water from their roots and transport it to the top. The gravity of the earth prevents water from moving through the trees, especially to the top.

The taller a tree is, the longer the water absorbed by the roots travels to the top, and the more energy it uses. It is the wisest thing for the tree to stop growing taller.

Imagine that if trees can grow infinitely, this not only requires stronger wind resistance. During the growth process, trees may still have the lack of sunlight, oxygen, water, and nutrients, and will also be limited by temperature and other conditions.

Therefore, in the process of adapting to the evolution of the external environment, it is also the result of natural choices that cannot be infinitely height.

In the World Record, there is a giant fir named Sherman in the Sequoia National Park in California, USA. Among the single trees, it is currently the largest tree in the world.

This tree is 83.8 meters high, the maximum diameter at the bottom of the trunk is about 12 meters, and the perimeter is more than 30 meters. It takes about 20 people to surround this tree. As early as 2002, it is estimated that this tree is 1487 cubic meters, with more than 2 million leaves, and the total weight is estimated to be around 288 tons.

But what is even more incredible is the age of the trees. It started to grow about 2700 years ago, and it can live for another 2000 years. The age of this tree is equivalent to the existing pyramid. This giant fir is so thick that people are very interested in it. It is definitely one of the wonders of nature. It is also a popular tourist destination in California.

Although people in the past always felt that most trees played only decorative effects. But with the development of science and technology, we are more and more aware of the importance of trees. Through science and investigation, we have understood the role and importance of plants in nature.

They can absorb carbon dioxide released by humans and provide us with constant sources of oxygen, allowing humans to breathe freely.

However, recently there is a news that makes humans worry. That is, the growth trend of many trees is gradually becoming slow. This is not only a bad news for humans, but also a bad news for other plants.Because some animals will treat tree holes as their own place of residence for the time being, others will grow with trunks.

This looks a bit incredible. But it is undeniable that some trees on the earth have indeed been severely damaged, making their growth rate slowly.

Protecting trees is important. If we do not take measures to curb the destruction of the environment, we will worry about not just a problem of climate change. The entire ecosystem may be in a state of collapse.
