Native Tree Society BBS

Again, I did not get a notification on your message.

Darrin from Malaysia has the same problem: no digests.

I activated the digest option two months ago but haven't got a single digest. Do other members get daily digests? Or how do you follow the forum? Or are European members not welcome anymore?

Thanks Elijah! I did not even get notification that you have answered. Now the digest option is there and possible to activate.

I do not get daily digests since months. I thought the BBS is down again, or even been taken down because of the low activity of the recent times. However, I see there are postings from Nov and Dec, but I haven't got digests. In user settings, I don't find any setting for the digests. Have the diges...

Bob, That's one think I am planning to do in the future, as Norway spruce is not only our tallest native tree species but also one of the most well-known.

I visited the tallest native European tree, Sgerm Spruce, again on September 2019 with my friend Thomas. My measurement with TruPulse 200X laser on stativ gave now 62.7 m (206 ft). Although I tried to do the measurement as carefully as I can using about an hour for it, I admit my laser measurement i...

Incredible and surprising news! Thanks for sharing this, Lucas! I remember, not so many years ago a highly renowed expert said on the Ents email-list there is no tree over 60m in Amazonia... If we consider they have laser-scanned only 2000-3000 km2 and only a part of the top LiDAR hits were visited,...

Another thing: I am wondering if these tallest tropical trees are all properly identified. Years ago, Roman Dial's group found that many species are capable to attain about the same heights. Now all the new records are dubbed as S. faguetiana . "Yellow meranti" is not a species but a group of 32 Sho...

The report is here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/ffgc.2019.00032/full it has a height of 100.8 m (distance to lowest part of the buttress; distance to lowest part of bole is 98.90 m, distance to highest base point of bole 96.26 m) I would say its height is 97.58 m, average between th...

Well, I asked the German man. He says Erik is right. It is only the optics that is stabilized. Laser & clinometer are not. That should actually be clear, I just didn't think far enough. However, he says it is easier to measure handheld. The results also vary less than those by Forestry Pro (likely d...
