ecological problems Old trees are among the oldest living organisms on our planet. There is something special about these old trees, not just because they harbor and sustain countless birds and other wildlife, but also because they are some sort of historic monuments, in natural sense, that is.
Sadly, these proud big trees are disappearing worldwide. In the recent scientific report that was published in the journal Science the researchers warned about alarming increase in death rates among trees aged 100-300 years. These trees are said to be dying in all corners of the world, in many of the world's forests, woodlands, savannahs, farming areas and even in many cities.
Many of the world's forests are affected with this serious environmental issue, and with many of the old trees disappearing the face of this planet, there will be a massive damage to many of the forest ecosystems and many species could disappear in years to come, leading to even bigger global biodiversity loss.
