Urweltmammuts als Auwald in China

Auf dieses Zitat von http://www.dawnredwood.org/ hat mich gerade ein Baumfreund aus Kalifornien aufmerksam gemacht:

Crescent Ridge Dawn Redwoods Preserve (CRDRP), is a private endeavor Metasequoia glyptostroboides project located in the Sauraton Mountains of North Carolina. Doug Hanks founded the Crescent Ridge project in 1995. This is a crescent-shaped area in the southeastern United States, where ideal growing conditions for Metasequoia exist and optimal growth occurs, and has some unique properties that will allow phenomenal growth to occur in the future.

This is where the largest cultivated Metasequoias in America occur, and with the exception of the Type tree in Mo-tao-chi and a few others in China, after only sixty years of growth trees of the original stock (1948) here in the US in this area already surpassed dimensions of the oldest trees in China. The purpose of the preserve is to establish a self-regulating forest of Metasequoia in the Appalachian region. Here, among 50 acres, dawn redwoods flourish in an environment strikingly similar to the Sichuan and Hubei provinces of China.

Located some five to six hundred miles further to the north, but at a lower altitude, CRDRP provides a virtually identical, although slightly cooler, climate to the Chinese forests in the Shui-sa Valley where Metasequoia has been native for several million years. Since part of the project revolves around research and experimentation, dawn redwoods have been planted in every conceivable location, including standing water.

The project's goal is 5000+ Metasequoias. CRDRP will offer botanists a chance to study growth habits here in the US. CRDRP will offer trails, a Visitor's Center with films and interpretive exhibits, including many fossils of Metasequoia, cones, petrified wood, and samples of dawn redwood, including a section of log. It will also feature anything “Metasequoia related”, such as stamps, articles, photographs, etc.______

Xenomorph:
Dann können die Metas ja wirklich im stehenden Wasser gedeihen  :o Echt krass, kannte das bisher nur von Taxodium distichum und Glyptostrobus pensilis... Na um so besser!

sequotax:
 ;D   ;D  ;D  Ich kannte das außerdem schon bei Mangroven !!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Joachim Maier:
Es gibt auch noch Kelp-Wälder!  ;)  ;D

Xenomorph:
Die Mangroven hatte ich doch tatsächlich vergessen...  ;) ;D
