Tree branches predict forest water stress
Scientists have discovered that the position of fir branches changes depending on moisture levels: when there is enough moisture, the branches rise, but during drought, they droop. This makes it possible to visually assess water stress in forests using ordinary camera traps, which simplifies ecosystem monitoring in the context of climate change.
