In a Sequoia-Sized Win, New Research Predicts Nearly 9,200 Undiscovered Tree Species on Earth
There are many more species of trees on Earth than we thought — almost 10,000 (or 15 percent), more, actually, according to a new study reported by Science Daily. It’s great news not only for the arborists, dendrologists, and forest ecologists that will spend the coming decades attempting to find and catalog these rare tree species, but also for us treehuggers who want to help those professionals protect them.
