The oldest tree in the world 'old' 9550 years old

Plants are one of the most enduring species in the world, from the century to the other and even from the millennium to the other millennium. So which tree is the oldest 9.550-year-old tree in the world since the Ice Age?

Scientists around the world often study the trunk of ancient trees to find the history of the time they have spent. In fact, many plants began to reside on Earth from 385 million years ago, at the end of the Devonian period. Considered a historical record of living things, organisms can keep their shapes and genomes intact through changes and developments.

But which plants live the longest in the world?

As of 2013, the oldest single tree in the world, Methuselah - also known as the Great Basin Bristlecone Pines ( or Pinus Longaeva ), has a lifespan of up to 4845 lives in the White Mountains, California, USA. Scientists studied tree-ring groups living in the Rocky Mountain Mountains and then published the age of another P. longaeva tree in the White Mountains range of about 5062 years old.

The oldest tree of Europe published in 2016, is a 1075-year-old Bosnian ( Pinus heldreichii ) pine that lives in Greece. The tree was also called Adonis after the Greek god represented beauty, youth and aspiration - brought the seed to grow in 941 AD - at that time, the Vikings were still at war along the coast. Europe. Europe is home to a number of perennial plants that have not yet determined their age.

The oldest tree in the world 'old' 9550 years old Picture 2 "Adonis" - Bosnian pine that lives in the high mountains of Greece - is Europe's oldest tree, with an accurate age of 1,075 years.

For example: Llangernyw Yew yew tree - lives in church grounds in Llangernyw village in northern Wales - estimated at least 4,000 years old. The yew tree ( Taxus baccata ) is believed to have grown since the British red copper era.

A clonal tree

Although these are some of the oldest single trees in the world, they are not the oldest species in the world. Because there are a number of clonal plants in the world that are made up of genetically identical trees, there is only one root system - that helps them live much longer.

According to the US Forest Service, Pando in Latin means " I am wingspan " - a group of asexual plants made up of more than 40,000 single-leafed aspen trees ( Populus tremuloides ). They live in Fishlake National Forest in Central Southern Utah and are estimated to be around 80,000 years old.

The oldest tree in the world 'old' 9550 years old Picture 3 Called the Old Tjikko tree, this 9.550-year-old tree trunk is a cloned wood in Norway that broke the record.

In 2008, in special cases, researchers discovered the world's oldest monoculture of asexual group. According to scientists at Umeå University, the Old Tjikko tree - a 9,550-year-old Norwegian spruce located in the mountains of Fulufjället in Sweden. Old Tjikko tree is said to be the only living tree in the ancient clonal tree species like Pando .

Scientists have used carbon methods to determine the age of plant roots - which is thousands of years older than the trunk above the ground. According to a report from Umeå University, the team found four generations of spruce still alive, all with the same genetic structure. Spruce wood can be propagated with the roots to produce identical copies of them. Therefore, single stems are often " younger" , and are cloned from at least 9,550 years old.

Umeå University also reported: " A group of about 20 spruce trees found in the Swedish mountains is estimated to be more than 8,000 years old. These plants can survive under extreme weather conditions. but if the climate gets warmer, it will help them grow stronger . "

Compared to all old trees, longest-lived animals, 183-year-old turtles, Old Tjikko is the oldest tree in the world.
