Why are Lithuanian forests dying due to global warming?

 "In particular, scientists noticed that up to 10 percent of newly planted Douglas fir were likely to get sick and die whenever nearby aspen, paper birch and cottonwood were removed. The reasons were unclear. The planted saplings had plenty of space, and they received more light and water than trees in old, dense forests. So why were they so frail?

By analyzing the DNA in root tips and tracing the movement of molecules through underground conduits, scientists have discovered that fungal threads link nearly every tree in a forest — even trees of different species. Carbon, water, nutrients, alarm signals and hormones can pass from tree to tree through these subterranean circuits. Resources tend to flow from the oldest and biggest trees to the youngest and smallest. Chemical alarm signals generated by one tree prepare nearby trees for danger. Seedlings severed from the forest’s underground lifelines are much more likely to die than their networked counterparts. And if a tree is on the brink of death, it sometimes bequeaths a substantial share of its carbon to its neighbors."

 Thus, the entire forest is one large symbiotic system where old trees feed and support young trees. In Lithuania, there is only one way to make a living from any business: not to hire people, and if you hire them, you should pay them as little as possible. That is why for harvesting and transportation of trees we use such powerful machines. Powerful machinery is only effective if most of the forest is cut down. Therefore, the young stands of our forest are composed mainly of uniform young trees. Due to global warming, severe droughts are recurring and are destroying those young trees. We are left without a forest.

 "Lithuania's exports to China are very homogeneous - half of all exports are wood and furniture," said Aleksandras Izgorodinas, an economist at SME Finance."

Thus, the Chinese Communists pay for the destruction of the Lithuanian forest. And our politicians tell us that now the Lithuanian forest belongs to us Lithuanians. Let's check this out. Let’s organize demonstrations and give questions to our politicians during meetings with them.
