These indirect systems rely on a combination of field sampling—foresters roaming among the trees to measure their height and diameter—and remote sensing technologies like lidar scanners, which can be flown over the forests on airplanes or drones and used to measure treetop height along lines of flight. This approach has worked well in North America and Europe, which have well-established forest management systems in place. “People know every tree there, take lots of measurements,” Scipal says.

For trees, lightning strikes are the great leveller. Stick your neck out by growing taller than the rest, and you risk getting zapped into oblivion. Hundreds of millions of trees suffer this fate every year. But the opposite appears to be the case for the towering tonka bean tree (Dipteryx oleifera), a native of the rainforests of Panama that grows up to 130 feet tall and lives for hundreds of years. Lightning is a weapon in its arsenal, and it wields it masterfully. When an opportune lightnin

Now well into his second term, it's no secret that Donald Trump wields his emergency powers like Elon Musk uses slurs. That is to say, he does it a lot. So far, Trump's declared national emergencies to classify drug smugglers as terrorists, the migrant crisis as an invasion, and the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu as infringing "upon the sovereignty of the United States" — not to mention skirting around some annoying procedures which would have delayed his n

If you’re stuck outside in the middle of a lightning storm, the most common advice is to stay away from trees, which might attract lightning. And while getting struck by lightning would certainly be very bad news for you, new research suggests certain trees might draw unexpected benefits from the electrocution. A team of researchers has revealed that Dipteryx oleifera—a tall tropical tree with a large crown and native to Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama—not only tolerates lightning s

Getting zapped with millions of volts of electricity may not sound like a healthy activity, but for some trees, it is. A new study, published in New Phytologist, reports that some tropical tree species are not only able to tolerate lightning strikes, but benefit from them. The trees may have even evolved to act as lightning rods. The research was led by Evan Gora, a forest ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. Gora studies how lightning impacts biodiversity and carbon storage in Pan

Credits Matthew Ponsford is a London-based writer and researcher. Even in early summer, when Sherwood Forest is thick with lime-colored new leaves, you start to see it from a few hundred paces away. Its trunk is 36 feet around and its canopy stretches for almost three bus-lengths. Its broad, bowl-shaped crown is propped up by a ring of metal columns, like walking sticks measured to fit each of its groaning boughs. The Major Oak, as it’s called, is surrounded by a fence that keeps its many visit

Thursday, February 27, 2025 A few years ago I blogged about custom tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting in emacs. I started out with highlighting certain keywords in red. I wanted to show the keywords that interrupt control flow: Screenshot showing syntax highlighting of keywords in black or red I highlight regular keywords ( while , if ) in bold. I highlight control flow interrupting keywords ( return , continue ) in red. That's syntax highlighting. But I also wanted to highlight names ba
