The tallest tree in the land (MIT)
The next time you’re outdoors, see if you can spot the tallest tree. If you’re

Knowing how tall trees can grow in any given region can give ecologists a
wealth of information, from the potential density of a forest and size of its
tree canopy to the amount of carbon stored in woodlands and the overall health

University of Maryland and the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, has come up
with a simple model to predict the maximum tree height in different
environments across the United States. The researchers’ results have been
published in the journal _PLoS One._
The model takes in basic meteorological data — such as average annual
