Earlier this year, California Governor Jerry Brown declared an unusual state of emergency -- a state of emergency over 22 million dead California trees. Unfortunately, a new study http://www.newsweek.com/california-drought-58-million-trees-could-die-409557 confirms that the emergency is far from over: 58 million more California trees could be lost thanks to California's ongoing drought, while another 888 million trees are drought stressed.
The severely depleted of water and drought stressed trees should concern everyone. Less trees means less habitat for wildlife. Less trees means more greenhouse gas emissions. Ironically, drought-stricken California will also lose more water without trees. Finally, drought stressed trees will be too weak
