The end of big trees?

Abstract

[Extract] When I was a small lad there was a stately old tree in our backyard. My little sister and I practically lived in it — it was our lair, our fortress, our stairway to the sky. Decades later, I sometimes recalled that regal giant as I studied rainforest trees in the Amazon. There, towering trees were dying en masse. Often the causes were obvious – growling bulldozers and chainsaws — but sometimes the reasons were mystifying.
