Ancient Redwoods’ Message About Climate Change
from Planet Forward
Would you climb a 300 foot tree to measure climate change? This week our WEBISODE focuses on some pretty daring work done by a research team from Humboldt State University led by Steve Sillet. The folks at KQED/Quest uploaded a video showing how Steve and his team climb Redwood giants to measure (literally measure, like, with really long measuring tape) the impact of climate change on Earth’s tallest forest. These measurements give Sillet and his team a sense of how trees have historically responded to climate change, and what the future looks like for these treasures.
