Overview
What happens to a tree when it falls in a forest? Over time, it disappears. But where does it go? Author and photographer Doug Wechsler invites readers to dig into this biological mystery and discover the answer to the disappearance. Following the fall of an oak tree, Wechsler explains how the tree is broken down by animals, insects, and fungi over the course of fifty years. Along the way, readers explore parts of a tree, insect lifecycles, and the magic of mycelia. And readers will discover how rotten wood benefits the forest by providing essential nutrients for new trees to grow.
