Why are mountain #forests in Mexico and Central America hotspots for oak #trees? https://phys.org/news/2026-05-mountain-forests-mexico-central-america.html paper: https://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2537040123

"Red and white #oaks independently migrated into the #mountains of Mexico about 25 million years ago. The two groups diversified along a parallel path, rapidly evolving into a remarkable array of species. Now, #Mexico and #CentralAmerica are home to at least 160 different oaks: 40% of global diversity... Each #oak species hosts a unique community of life"

Third raised-planter lid armored with hardware cloth completed. Three raised planters to be prepped to receive acorns (Quercus chrysolepis) for germinating. Squirrels and rats will have to forage elsewhere. #Garden #Oaks #Rewilding #NorthernCalifornia
