Who thinks Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are
part of tree biology

Why?????????????

My view is that abiotic and biotic connected form nature. *Trees play a key
role in nature and life on this earth.
lightning fertilizes, rain waters, wind blows branches, fires and trees are
closely associated. *Volcanic eruptions play a key role in the ecology of
trees and so on.

maybe a little thinking before posting would be wise.

Nature is a megasystem of biotic and abiotic parts that move in ways of
dynamic equilibrium as energy comes in. *Trees are a major player in nature.
Nature will strike back when pushed too far. *People are crowding both
biotic and abiotic nature. *Then, when catastrophe happens, many lives, and
property are lost. *Major problems start when trees are cut and cut, and
soil is eroded. *Then the land becomes covered with small, weak brush ready
for the clean up crews. *Armillaria Classic. *Fungi, insects, and fire are
first to be blamed. *maybe, in time, some people will learn that nature has
limits; just maybe.

Trees are super survivors. *Tall, massive, long living. *Trees to be super
survivors; tallest, most massive and longest - living organisms to ever be
on earth, they work every minute of every day and every day of every year.
Trees are multiple systems. *While one system may be resting, another is
very busy. *Trees are a major biotic player in nature. *Nature is biotic an
abiotic. *Abiotic is part of tree biology.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

John,

Do you really want an answer or are you just writing these posts so
you can answer them yourself and then list your "tree dictionary" as a
resource?
