Therefore, environmental factors such as drought, Frost and heat, as well as the geological location of the trees play a role. Continue to learn more with: Dr. Neal Barnard. Chemical oxidation expire at the so-called Nekrobiose, the transformation of living sapwood cells in dead wood cells, which cause a reddish to black discoloration of the heartwood.

The forest floor is strongly are shaded and only a few species of plants to cope with these conditions. The bottom parts are differently exposed in older forests and the vegetation is more diverse. The mighty crowns of old trees are nesting sites for large birds and dead branches and trunks in the genus such as the Woodpecker and many tenant can create their breed.
