“When you get these incessant #droughts year after year, it’s a cumulative effect which compounds across time and gets worse.
Almost all of our ancient trees are struggling under these conditions. They’re dying of this drought stress.”

‘Pyne’s analysis of mortality rates of ancient oaks found that half could be lost over the next 60 years. This analysis did not consider the changing climate, so Pyne believes the figure is likely to be a significant underestimate.’
