UM-Bot Posted July 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It turns out that it will take centuries for scientists to discover all the different species of trees. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/296652/amazon-tree-discoveries-will-take-300-years 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzo Posted July 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It won't take that long. I say it takes about 50 years. You have to figure in human breeding into the equation. At the rate that human primates are breeding combined with the awesome amounts of resources needed to sustain that population, the forests will be destroyed.

Considering there are more trees now than before, I'll concur with the scientists. Especially since there are all types of snakes and other critters to content with. You can't plow through and area you want to preserve and examine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbsquid Posted July 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2016 the amount of different species on this planet is mind boggling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattpoison Posted July 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I wonder if there are other estimates about how long it will take. In the end any estimates are just guesses, educated or not. And now I will say something that no one can disagree with: It may, or may not, take 300 years to discover all the species of trees in the Amazon rain forest.
