The oldest tree in the world developed normally when people only erected Stonezende with the help of a computer model by the specialist of the Laboratory of Climatic and Environmental Sciences in Paris, Jonathan Baricivic, it was possible to establish that a giant fisroya (Fitzroya cupressoides) named “Gran Abuelo” or Great Grandfather, belonging to the Chilean Andes , maybe about 5400 years old. If this age is confirmed, this Gran Abuelo is 600 years older than the tall record holder, the spiny pine (Pinus longaeva) in the bicycle, nicknamed “Methuselah”.
In the meantime, these figures were previously taken into account that the 60-meter Fitzroy in the discovery of Alerce Costero Park in Chile is about 3,500 years old. But her age was not systematically analyzed. In 2020, a gentle method of thin drilling of the heart with the capture of growth rings for 2465 years. The driller was never able to drill through the 4 m hole to the center, so many rings remain.
To calculate the variance, calculate a mathematical model that defines the different growth rate from shoot to mature tree and the variation in rate depending on changes and changes in the environment. The program then simulated the growth trajectory 10,000 times, which gave a range of possible rises. As a result, the tree turned out to be about 5400 years old. The growth threshold can be up to 6,000 years, and the probability of increasing sVES Even if the tree grew very quickly, with its size, it simply cannot be younger.
Another authenticity at a later age: the law of biological human compromise between others? Fitzroya cupressoides has a large number of long slow giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) and bristled intermountain pines. However, some experts on population growth do not
Our Great Grandfather is already flying, but he has many fears for the future. The tree is surrounded by a narrow platform, which staves its remaining springs, and the crowds of tourists who bring it every year trample its feet. Warming and a 10-year drought also played a significant role. Another tree that has grown in the crown of our giant is dying right now. D protection of great-grandfather barychryant systems.
