Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The shallow roots of the longleaf pine absorb surface water, which is affected by precipitation. Hurricanes produce large amounts of precipitation with a distinctly lower oxygen isotope composition than that in dew or smaller storms. Tracing tree-rings that contain these lower isotope compositions unveils a record of hurricanes that both supports and surpases the present historical record. A study by University of Tennessee researchers looks at a 220-year-old record and suggests data up to 400 years can be accessed in future studies. Read more about this research at www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=108010, for more images, and for video. |
