6 interesting facts about trees

Forests are the lungs of the world because photosynthesis produces the oxygen we breathe, and experts have calculated that a tree with a leaf area of 150 square meters in 100 years produces as much oxygen as a person needs in 20 years.

We often do not even notice trees in everyday life. They are constantly present, they are beautiful, and they make sure that people and animals have the basic condition for life – oxygen!

Trees are our inspiration when we need energy, and its roots, which disappear deep into the earth, remind us of our connection and dependence on our planet and life. Trees live for hundreds or even thousands of years, which is why we respect it as the guardian of ancient secrets and the future.

Forests cover one-third of the earth’s surface. They are the habitat of at least 80% of plants that grow from soil, animals, and insects. Trees are one of the basic defenses against climate change because they balance our air by absorbing carbon dioxide, which is formed as a result of human activities and converting it into oxygen. They also protect watercourses by keeping the ground in place with the roots.

The National Cancer Institute of the USA announced that 3,000 plants suppress cancer cells and that 70% of these plants originate from tropical forests. Maybe that’s why Amazon shamans believe that the cure for every human ailment is found in tropical forests. And yet, modern science has examined the medicinal properties of only 1% of all tropical forest plants. Imagine how many valuable medical plants are destroyed or completely exterminated, bearing in mind that every second around 107639 ft2 of tropical forests disappears. Due to the destruction of tropical forests, about 137 different species of plants, animals, and insects are lost daily.

Trees and fungi

Trees are connected below the surface of the earth at the root by fungi, and they live in symbiosis. Both trees and mushrooms need each other to survive. But that’s not all. As fungi are essentially associated with the roots of a tree after tree, trees can use fungi to transfer nutrients to each other. For example, conifers have been found to transmit nutrients to aspens that are weaker during the winter to stay healthy. Also, older, well-rooted trees transfer nutrients through fungi to young trees that need to grow more towards the sunlight to survive. The largest and oldest trees in the forest serve as a support because it owns and produces large amounts of resources, and their massive roots are spreading in all directions.

When insects attack one tree, it distributes pheromones over the fungus below the surface of the earth to warn nearby trees of a possible attack. Other trees can then be prepared by changing the chemical composition of their leaves. Mushroom nets also strengthen the immune system of trees. Not only do different types of trees help each other in the forest, but according to Ben from gotreequotes.com fungi and other plant species also join the underground network and communicate with each other to keep the entire ecosystem healthy. It has been documented that, when a tree dies, it releases its resources into the root network so that its neighbors can benefit from food that it no longer needs.

Trees can become almost immortal

Trees are one of the oldest organisms in the world. If they are in perfect weather conditions, there is no limit to how long they can live. There are trees in the world older than 9,000 years. One of them lives in Sweden – the Old Tjikko, which was discovered in 2004.

Pando, Trembling giant tree colony

Pando is a colony of about 47,000 aspen trees in Utah. This amazing colony is considered a unique organism because all trees share one underground root system, and each tree is genetically identical. New trees emerge from a huge root system. Pando is estimated to have existed for at least 80,000 years, making it one of the oldest life forms on the planet.

This colony grew from the earth as far back as 50,000 years before people arrived in North America. In some parts of the planet, Neanderthals lived for another 30,000 years after it appeared. This colony, which stretches over 430553 ft2, saw unimaginable changes. It survived the ice age, and occasionally, the trees were burned to the ground, but survived everything and grew again from the roots.

Tree-hugging

In many cultures, people believe that trees, like humans and other life forms, have energy vibrations and an aura. As the vibrations of the trees are slower and deeply connected to the ground through the roots, contact with the trees can help us feel safe, secure, and stable. Most will agree that walking in the woods or just observing the trees gives a feeling of deep peace and tranquility and can be emotionally and psychologically healing.

Tree culture in Malaysia

Among the indigenous Sng’oi population, man and tree can belong to each other, and this connection is maintained throughout life. When someone belongs to a tree, he also belongs to his shoots – his tree that grows from the seeds of the first tree, no matter how far it is scattered.

Also, in Malaysia, trees are planted around houses so close that the walls of the houses break from roots. In cemeteries, trees are allowed to take root in graves and are said to whisper prayers to God seeking forgiveness of the sins of those buried there. These customs speak of the ancient realization that people and trees are closely connected during life and always.

Healing properties of trees

Oak has outstanding properties, primarily acting as an anti-stress therapy. It activates circulation and reduces healing time. It is said to be one of the best generators of positive energy. You might want to have oak furniture in the home, not only because it is durable and beautiful, but also because it radiates positive energy.

Pine calms and eliminates mental stress. A longer stay in a pine forest might prevent coughing, sneezing, bronchitis, and similar problems.

Chestnut relieves rheumatic ailments, eliminates insomnia, and, as folk wisdom says, drives away fear and tension of various origins.
