Witness tree : seasons of change with a century-old oak
Mapes, Lynda, 1959-2017
Books, Manuscripts
An intimate look at one majestic 100-year-old oak tree through four seasons - and the reality of global climate change it reveals. In the life of this one grand oak, we can see for ourselves the results of one hundred years of rapid environmental change. It's leafing out earlier, and dropping its leaves later as the climate warms. Even the inner workings of individual leaves have changed to accommodate more CO2 in our atmosphere. Climate science can seem dense, remote, and abstract. But through the lens of this one tree, it becomes immediate and intimate. In 'Witness Tree', environmental reporter Lynda V. Mapes takes us through her year living with one red oak at the Harvard Forest.
