Why #extrasolar Earths will also have #trees.

It seems really probable that some form of #photosynthesis — harnessing light energy into storable chemical energy — would evolve in any #life system that is orbiting a #star like our Sun.

If photosynthesis moves out of water and onto land on an Earth-like #exoplanet, as it did on our current Earth about 500 million years ago, surely some sort of tree-like form would evolve.
