Tree Biology Fundamentals: CODIT, Photosynthesis & Root Systems (Ep.27)
Understanding how a tree functions is the difference between a professional arborist and a dangerous one. In Episode 27, we break down the biological "why" behind every pruning cut and planting decision.Tree biology is the foundation of all arboricultural practices. In this episode, we move past the textbook and look at biology from a practical field perspective. We explore how trees produce energy, how they transport nutrients through the xylem and phloem, and why the "root of the problem" is usually literally in the roots.Key Concepts Covered:Energy Production: Why leaf area is the "fuel tank" for tree defense.Transport Systems: A simple breakdown of Xylem vs. Phloem.The CODIT Model: Understanding the "Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees" and why trees seal, but never heal.Root Truths: Why oxygen and soil compaction are the biggest threats to urban tree survival.ISA Exam Insight: How to apply biological concepts to pass the Urban Forest Professional exam.#TreeBiology #Arboriculture #Arborist #ISAExam #TreeCare #UrbanForestry #CODIT #Botany #TreeScience
