distribution of temperature. The evaporating area of a mature<br />

beech tree, for example, with some seven million leaves, totals<br />

about 1.47 hectares (3.6 acres).<br />

Trees also break the strength of the wind, creating shelter for<br />

other life forms and lesser species of vegetation. The planting of<br />

shelter-belts (best in spiral form) reduces both the wind speed<br />

and the dehydration of the soil, creating microclimates that help<br />

the soil against erosion through the provision of additional<br />

humus and protection. Indeed shelter belts can influence the<br />

evaporation rate over cultivated land by as much as 30 metres<br />

upwind and 120 metres downwind, and Canadian research has<br />

shown that farms with a third of their land as shelter belts are<br />

more productive than farms of equivalent area where there are no<br />

trees at all.<br />

These shelter belts also trap carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the heaviest<br />

naturally occurring atmospheric gas, found mostly in the lowest<br />

levels of the atmosphere, and an essential component of photosynthesis.<br />

Increased CO 2 under the right conditions will produce<br />

stronger photosynthesis. When trees and hedgerows between fields<br />

are removed, productivity falls, because this causes a fall in carbon<br />

dioxide. Trees should be revered as much as water, for together they<br />

are both are the givers of life.<br />

Tree classification<br />

Trees can be classified generally into seven major categories. These<br />

can be subdivided according to latitude, altitude, whether they are<br />

light-demanding or shade-demanding species (the former having a<br />

thick, rough bark and the latter a smooth thin bark), and whether<br />

they are hardwood or softwood, broad-leafed, conifer, evergreen<br />

and so on.<br />

Before we examine trees and their growth in relation to these<br />

categories in more detail, let us look at the specific contribution that<br />

trees make to the general environment. We give the example of a 100<br />

year-old tree, whose extraordinary performance was calculated by<br />

Walter Schauberger in the 1970s in relation to the average output of<br />

European species:<br />
