As said yesterday, we had to cut down our 40 years old dying #spruce tree. It was severely attacked by bark beetle (you can see the holes on the edge of whole trunk section, and the larvae on other photos), likely after being stressed and weakened by #heatwave and #drought in the past years. A probable effect of #climatechange, #climatecrisis.
It's from our garden very close to #Fontainebleau #forest, 60km south of Paris, France.
I'm not a #dendroclimatologist so I cannot interpret in detail the trunk section. But I will post hr photos in next toot for those more skilled.
I wrote in my previous toot that I'm not a #dendroclimatologist. If more skilled researchers can interpret, or use the section of our just cut down #spruce tree that was dying because of dark beetle, here are some good photos. Don't hesitate to comment.
