#Trees absorb the #greenhousegas #CO2 and release oxygen, thus contributing to a better #environment. Yet, isolated street trees are more susceptible to disease than those in #forests, which are embedded in complex #forestecosystems with a #treespecies #diversity.
In light of #globalwarming and #anthropogenic #environmentalchanges, R. C. Gatti et al. (2022) estimated the number of tree #speciesonEarth.

Spent the morning with @alohatreealliance caring for newly planted native trees in the beautiful Kuli’ou’ou Valley. It was pure magic connecting with the forest and building a sense of community. #ForestEcosystems
