Migration

Adaptations and Migration

The center of scientists studies have been on maples and buckeyes for various reasons.

Adaptation

Migration

Adaptation is very important in the lives of trees. Some trees like the ones in Australia have adapted to survive bushfires. Other trees may have thick, leathery leaves to help them suffer less wilting in very hot and sunny conditions.

Studies show that trees are moving north due to global warming; at a rate of 62 miles a century.

Trees are producers; meaning they make products that we need, like oxygen.

Trees take in 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year and make enough oxygen to supply 2 people.

1 acre of trees supplies enough oxygen for 18 people.
