Struck by Lightning? This Tree Kinda Likes it

If you are stuck in the middle of a thunderstorm storm, the most common suggestion is to stay away from the tree, which can attract thunder. And you must have a very bad news while hitting by thunderstorms, new research suggests that certain plants can draw unexpected benefits from electricity.

A group of researchers have revealed it Departex OleiferColumbia, Coasta Rica, Nicaragua and Panama are a large crown of Panama and it does not only tolerate electric strike but not actually benefits from them and it can even develop thunderstorms. Their work is detailed in a study published on Wednesday in the New Fightologist Journal.

The team led by Forest Evanist Ivan Gora of the Carry Institute of Ecosystem Studies was inspired to investigate D Oleifer ‘After the discovery of a unique sample in Panama in the 21st, the relationship with the thunderstorm. The electronic was killed in its branch and killed a parasite vine, in addition to a dozen trees around it, the tree survived by slightly damaged.

Gora Ecosystem Studies said at a Kerry Institute, “There are trees that are trees that are damaged by thunderstorms and they are okay StatementThe Seven years later, researchers discovered it Some trees are more resistant against thunderstorms Than others. Now, the team first claimed that it was the first to appear that hitting for some species could actually be beneficial.

After the gora and his colleagues were hit by thunderstorms, after the rate of their deaths, the condition of their shoots and crowns, the presence of Lata or Liana, and the survival rate of the neighboring tree, the Barrow Colorado nature of the central Panama has been observed 93 trees in the monument.

There were nine in 93 trees D OleiferAnd they all survived the lightning hit with a slight loss. Electricity has reduced their parasitic grapes by 78% and killed 9.2 people on an average of their neighboring trees. In contrast, the species of other plants were significantly worse – they lost another 5.7 pages and the% of them died in two years in two years.

In the words of Gora, “It’s good for one Departex Oleifer Will be hit with no trees. “

Furthermore D Oleifer The trees seem to have low grapes in the species overall, and for the past four decades their neighboring trees were likely to die 48% more than other plants in the forest. Thanks for drone technology, researchers have also mentioned D Oleifer The trees on the surrounding tree are usually about 13 feet (four meters) towers – probably because a tall neighborhood was taken out by thunderstorm.

Vine infection and decrease in taller neighbors D Oleifer The plants are more accessible to light and nutrients and as a result, competitive benefits than other species of other plants. Researchers have calculated it D OleiferIts thunderbolt tolerance makes them 14 times more likely to produce their child. Good thing, because according to the survey, they may be 68% more likely to be more likely than the average tree. Nine D Oleifer In the half decade observed by researchers, twice was injured by thunderstorms.

It is not hard to think that trees can probably do it with all these benefits. Indeed, Gora and his colleagues suggest it D Oleifer May develop to attract thunderstorms, similarly like a power rod.

Overall, the study provides insight about the role of thunderstorms in biodiversity. According to the statement, it is especially important in the context of climate change, which can cause more thunderstorms in certain areas. After moving forward, researchers are expecting to understand the processes behind the thunderstorms of the tree.

The moral of the story: don’t stand under the tree during thunder storm – especially a D OleiferAnd!
