We explored tree aerodynamics, wind resistance, pulling tests, and how urban environments influence tree safety in extreme weather conditions.✨ Friday 090 - Tree Diseases and BiodiversityWe discussed the dual role of tree diseases as both threats and ecological influencers. The episode explored how climate change, globalization, and forest diversity impact disease dynamics, along with strategies for disease prevention and management.🐝 Saturday 091 - Emerald Ash BorerWe wrapped up the week by examining the devastating impact of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) on global ash tree populations. The discussion covered EAB’s life cycle, invasive spread, and ongoing efforts in biological control and forest management.That’s a wrap for this week!
