Sky's Sword: East Asia's Tallest Tree
A team of researchers in Taiwan discovered the tallest known tree in East Asia, called the "Sky Saber of the Daan River." It stands 84.1 meters tall and is estimated to be around a thousand years old. The process of identifying it took a full decade, involving laser scanning, aerial imaging, and direct measurements from the top. This tree is a Taiwanese spruce and serves as an important tool for studying climate change and biodiversity in the region, as giant trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon and protecting ecosystems.
