- p018 . "flipping between it's two stable states,¹²C and ¹³C, and it's natural radioactive species,¹⁴C"
- isotopes are not "states" and don't "flip". ¹²C and ¹³C are stable, ¹⁴C decays to ¹⁴N by emitting a positron, 5700y half life
- p018 . about half of the biomass of a tree is carbon alone
p018 . glaucous sheath of needles "sage green" light grayish green

- p039 "pitch out" insects by excreting a sticky resin - like the big stump from our removed north tree
- p039 "massive disturbances" cause tree species to "decline" ... quantify
- p039 greenhouse gases contributing to climate change ... quantify
- p040 loggers confused by costly instructions to leave "seed trees"
- how about an educational description or video, not unexplained handwaving?
- p044 sage "arêtes": a sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur
- p045 "tree roots connected underground"
actually, linked by mycelium, underground network of mycorrhizal fungi
- "wood wide web"
- criticised as not strongly strongly supported by evidence
