關於本電子書

Tree Age Science unveils the extraordinary role of trees as living historians, decoding Earth’s environmental past and present through their rings, cells, and interactions. At its core, the book explores dendrochronology—the study of tree rings—to reveal how these natural archives document centuries of climate shifts, volcanic eruptions, and human impacts. Readers discover how a single ring can pinpoint droughts, wildfires, or even societal collapses, like the Maya civilization’s decline linked to deforestation. Beyond climate clues, the book highlights trees as ecosystem engineers, fostering biodiversity through symbiotic relationships with fungi and wildlife while silently combating climate change via carbon sequestration.

Blending ecology and climatology, the authors present cutting-edge research—from isotopic analysis tracing atmospheric changes to AI models predicting forest resilience. Case studies span ancient bristlecone pines surviving millennia to modern “ghost forests” killed by rising seas, grounding complex science in vivid examples. The narrative uniquely bridges technical rigor and storytelling, weaving indigenous knowledge with lab discoveries to show how trees inform conservation strategies. Structured in three acts—tree biology, environmental detective work, and future solutions—the book progresses from foundational concepts to urgent applications, like using historical data to guide reforestation.

What sets Tree Age Science apart is its ability to transform trees from passive scenery into active climate allies. By framing forests as dynamic chroniclers, it empowers readers to rethink conservation, policy, and humanity’s bond with nature—proving that every ring holds a lesson for our planet’s survival.
