1 Citation My mentor, cutting down a dead tree for me I want to know how different soil types affect pinyon pine growth during drought and if there?s a difference in growth between trees that die in the drought and those that have survived so far. So I needed some cookies. tree cookies We had no idea that there would be two feet of snow on the ground at the site, which made working much much harder. As much as I usually hate fieldwork, you would think that I would have had a terrible time. Actually,, technorati.com

1 Citation Planting trees on Arbor Day. By definition, I?m probably not what you?d call a tree hugger. I?ve never attended a protest or chained myself to a tree (or anything else, actually) and I?ve never gone on a hunger strike for the cause. Perhaps I should though, because I really dig trees. I loved climbing them as a kid and investigating what kinds of critters lived in them; and even old, dead trees meant the possibility of morels in the spring!

1 Citation How could I resist this story ? Aside from the great headline, it's about old-style closed-source science being challenge by open science, with open data - the only kind, if you think about it: Dendrochronology is the study of tree-rings to determine when and where a tree has grown. Everybody knows that trees produce one ring every year. But the rings also vary in width according to each year's local weather conditions. If you've got enough rings in a wood sample, then their widths form a u, technorati.com
