Plant growth study notes decline in trunk growth
A brief note from researchers records reduced trunk growth linked to environmental stress. The study cites limited leaf area, drought effects, and slower cambial activity impacting overall tree development in field plots.
Height and Latitude Challenge Tall Race Assumptions
The piece argues that temperate zones do not guarantee tallest people. It cites Zulus Iroquois Polynesians and Patagonians as taller on average, with Patagonians tallest at about 6 feet 10 inches. It notes Laplanders near the Arctic are among the shortest, and climate shows little link to height. It ends by contrasting farm workers and Sheffield miners on height and weight.
