Capítulo 555: Swaying Forest

Everyone wanted to tell Clark that he was wrong. But there was too much evidence. Ella and Isa both knew some things about the kinds of herbs that would or would not grow when there was not enough water in the soil. Ella quickly pointed out some spear grass that was nearly wilted and dead. Next, Isa pointed out the yellowing and brown leaves on the younger saplings of the forest.

All of this was more than enough to convince the others that this entire forest was at a tipping point. There was no way that the water raining down would have been able to reach the depths of the tree roots that an entire forest put down.

The normal single tree here and there would rarely need much strength from water or the soil. As long as it was not in competition with any larger plants, it would have enough nutrients and water to grow as it pleased. This was why many gardens were able to grow. No competition.
