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 />
