Importance of trees

Introduction
Trees are important to humankind not only economically, environmentally and industrially,but also spiritually, historically and aesthetically, for they sustain human life through direct and indirect gains by providing a wide range of products for survival and prosperity. However, it is not always easy to define “tree.” A tree is a large, long-lived (i.e., perennial) woody plant that attains a height of at least 6 m (20 ft) at maturity in a given locality and usually—but not always—has a single main self-supporting stem called a “trunk” or a “bole,” which gives off spreading branches, twigs and foliage to make a crown (Venkatesh, 1976; Panshin & de Zeeuw,1980; Hawkins, 1986). Since the diameter at breast height (dbh) of trees is determined internationally at 1.35 m (4.5 ft) above the ground, a tree must be unbranched—i.e., with a single trunk—at least up to 1.5 m (5 ft) from the ground. But this definition does not cover the following (Venkatesh, 1976), which are also considered trees:
• Palms are typically unbranched trees with only one trunk (columnar stem), called the “caudex,” which ends in a crown of large leaves.
• Bamboos are trees without a main trunk but with a cluster of culms arising from the underground rhizome. These culms are unbranched, with distinct nodes and internodes that give them a jointed appearance.

    The bark of young trees is smooth. With age, it develops deep furrows, ridges, and a thickness of about 8 to 9% of bole or branch diameter. The root system consists of a deep taproot that is usually nonfunctional in large trees. Several deep main roots may tap groundwater if present within approximately 36 feet of the soil surface. Coast live oak develops extensive horizontal root branches and surface-feeding roots.…

    In the deep forest, there stands a tree beside a river. It is an ancient tree, standing tall against the sky. On its bows grow lush green leaves of thousandth generation. At its base, grey roots pile on top of one other like an old man's beard. A cicada lies on top of a root with its legs pointing uselessly at the sky.…

    Secondly The Understory, compared to the forest floor there is an increased amount of light reaching the leaves of the plants in the understory. This small amount of light encourages the plants to think of smart ways to survive. Did you know there are such things as solar collecting dark green leaves? Plants that survive in the understory include dwarf palms and soft stocked species like the ginger family. These plants can grow up to 12 feet in length. Many plants in the understory rely on insects for their food. Others have fruit on their trunks. Many animals live in the understory, such as snakes and frogs. This layer also has the largest amount of insects.…

    My essay will take into consideration the context within which Maimonides was writing. He had observed that the number of disciples was decreasing, disasters were occurring more frequently, the government was increasing its power, which led to an increase in the spread of its domain, and Israelites were wandering and migrating to other countries. I will look at all the traditions; enactments, interpretations, and expositions of every portion of the Torah that Maimonides have collected to combat these problems; these had either come down from Moses or had been deduced by the courts in successive generations. All this material he rewrote in the Mishneh Torah. Maimonides therefore composed a work, which was able to serve as a handbook for all,…

    The Oak and the Elm Tree

    • 1112 Words

    In nature, the oaks hold their own well in competition with the other trees. The oak is a large tree growing to heights of thirty-five to one hundred feet tall. Their leaves are of the most dramatic in shape, which are described as being pinnately veined and pinnately lobed. Meaning the main vein runs through the leaf to its tip and smaller veins branch out, also having deep wavy outline indentations which extend half way or more to the midrib, giving it a hand-like feature. In contrast, the American elm is also a large tree that grows to a height of forty to ninety feet tall and has a simple, short oval shaped leaf that is saw-toothed and lopsided at the base. The trunk of both trees is described as being similar in most ways, thick and covered with furrowed gray bark. The trunks grow lateral with broad branches opening up into a beautiful crown. In time, these dome-headed trees will spread its branches needing a lot of growing space for the canopy. The beauty of the oak tree gives way as it sways in a gentle breeze and flutters its leaves as if waving a happy welcome to anyone who may pass. The elm tree swaying in the same breeze illustrates a simple flat wave.…

    The baobab tree is the iconic tree of the African Sahara. It is readily recognized by its enormous trunk and, by comparison, scrawny stems and twigs. It is the source of many legends among the tribes of the area, and is also a rich source of traditional medicine. In a land where rainfall is limited and it is rare to find even tiny bushes, the gigantic baobab tree thrives. It is able to do so due to a number of unique adaptations that it has perfected over the course of its evolution.…

    Bamboo

    • 1007 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The body of a single bamboo tree is not large by any means when compared to the other much larger trees in the forest. It may not look impressive at first sight at all. But the plants endure cold winters and extremely hot summers and are sometimes the only trees left standing in the aftermath of a typhoon. They may not reach the heights of the other trees, but they are strong and stand tall in extreme weather. Bamboo is not as fragile as it may appear, not by a long shot. Remember the words of a great Jedi Master: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size do you?" We must be careful not to underestimate others or ourselves based only on old notions of what is weak and what is…

    We have a personal responsibility to the natural world to take care of our natural resources. If our natural resources fail, we will in turn have failed our decedents by leaving behind a life that is harder to live. Imagine that water is limited to the point that there is only one source on the planet. Imagine that the air is full of pollutants because trees are almost extinct. What kind of future do we want to leave our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids?…
