“We don’t think there is any intention of a tree to help its neighbor” . You could equally view the exchanges as smaller trees stealing carbon from larger ones, or as the entirely incidental side effect of mycorrhiza growing on multiple trees. But whatever the slant, it’s clear that “even a very mixed forest is much more connected than we thought,”

Reader Commentsfrom Michael O'neill Being a tree farmer in north central Ohio, I have experienced first hand the devastation brought on by the emerald ash borer. My consolation is that I diversified with white pine, spruce, oak and walnut on my first humble woodlot in the late 80's. Although the ash has died, taking with it about 20% of the biomass, the other trees are now getting more light and the "new" forest is all the prettier and more productive. In addition I now have plenty of good burning ash drying in place to help keep warm in the winters. Many in the area who didn't diversify and manage their woodlots are now left with decimated forests and fire hazards. Thank God I'm a tree lover who studied up a bit. I didn't really understand the value of diversification though until I experienced it first hand.
Best to all my tree farming colleagues in beautiful Colorado.
