Multiple Disciplines Revealed the Forest Through the Trees
Ultimately, the researchers credit the strength of their interdisciplinary group for figuring out the forest’s mystery.
“Each piece of the story alone is not sufficient, but when taken together, the genetics, geology, botany, and field observations tell an incredible story,” Paula Ezcurra, science program manager at the Climate Science Alliance, who did the sea-level modeling for the project, said in the release. “Each researcher involved lent their expertise that allowed us to uncover the mystery of a 100,000+ year-old forest.”
