Sharron....................how do trees affect rainfall?

I like learning new things and find this interesting.

Its those Aussies again, not content with having our sun for half a day, they want our trees now....

Actually Eldrick - on the island where I lived as a child, off the west coast of Scotland, they had palm trees. Although it is in the path of a Gulf Stream, one year they had a severe frost. When the trees grew again,the 'palm leaves' came from the base.

I think we may lose a lot of trees because of global warming.It used to be that trees lost their leaves around October time and spent the winter resting ready to sprout some more in the spring. Now they sometimes only seem to get a couple of weeks rest.
They won't be able to keep it up for too long and loss of trees means loss of rainfall.

Awww is that why they are in beds then:))

Bless their little petals!

The reason why trees are growing downwards now?

It would appear that trees are growing downwards instead up upwards, so research has shown recently. The theory is that they are trying to hide from the effects of climate change.

How amazing is that - it suggests that they have some form of intelligence.....!!!!!!!!!!
