DECIDUOUS TREES. “Here much of the plant body is made up of dead tissues, the canopy is renewed and discarded every year, root systems turn over, and reproduction takes place repeatedly over decades, centuries or even millennia. In iteroparous species, such as trees and clonal plants, there is a disjunction between the lifespans of the whole and parts.”
