The world's largest entity is gradually collapsing

This is a giant entity consisting of about 46,000 genetically identical stumps and a weight of about 6,000 tons.

Supposedly the largest living entity in the world to date, vibrating aspen tree forest (Pando Aspen) in Utah, USA, is at risk of collapse if there is no support.

The world's largest vibrating poplar tree forest is currently located in Fishlake National Forest, Utah, USA. This is a giant entity consisting of about 46,000 genetically identical stumps and a weight of about 6,000 tons.

The largest vibrating aspen tree forest on the Earth is currently at risk of collapse.

A special feature of life expectancy of about 14,000 years is that the seedlings grow from a mother tree, forming a population of about 43 hectares.

If you look at the surface of trees on the ground, they are like individual trees. However, below the ground, all the trees are linked together, growing from the roots of the mother plant.

Estimated, each individual lived about 130 years and the roots continued to regenerate dead aspen trees. Vibrant aspen is regenerated from a sprouting root from the stems. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow very impressive bricks.

However, recently according to research by Paul Rogers from the University of Utah published in the journal PLOS One, the world's largest fern aspen is at risk of collapse by the effects of humans and herbivores Invasive like deer.

Scientists have come up with some solutions to protect this aspen tree as a hunter to reduce the amount of herbivores, use natural enemies but do not seem to be approved by the community because of many problems about balancing the native animal system.

Currently, scientists are looking for an alternative that is . to set up a fence . However, this is not the best solution because many herbivores can still jump very high over the fence.
