The Costal Redwoods face a precious future because the change in temperatures in the Pacific
and the fogs that bring moisture to the flat needles of the Sequoia sempervirens … Costal Redwood
….. from those fog clouds which then fall to earth and waters the trees roots. That water from
those fogs also sets up the ecological conditions that are beneficial to the trees such as helping
the lichens that live in the tree canopy some of which fix atmospheric nitrogen and when they fall
to the forest floor they help feed the Redwoods.

But not to worry Trump is shutting down NOAA’s atmospheric observatory on Mauna Loa which
monitors CO 2 which drives global warming.

Sorry to babble. Botant =
