Canadian street trees in Canada benefited from leaky pipes

Trees growing on city streets are more immune In the drought than parks because they drink from an unusual water source: leaky pipes.
After long periods with little rain, the water level and coating on the wine more than the trees growing in the parks compared Those in the streetsBut not obvious as to why.
To check, André Poirier At the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada, and his fellow trunch samples from Norway Maple and Silver Maple Choupte (Acer Platanoids and Acer Saccharinum) in parks and streets in two Montreal neighborhoods. They measure levels of different leads of lead – the different metal versions that can indicate unique entries – and then linked the levels of Isotope to count the rings at the rings.
While park points consist of park isotopes commonly related to air pollution, geologically found tubes of geologically from geologically automatic deposits near the meologically old deposits.
Maple trees need to consume about 50 liters of water per day. Since streets are not able to get many of them from rainwater, falling into concrete and flowing into town sewers, from the leaky pipes in Montreal that is 500 million liters of water every day.
“The good news is that you can continue to plant streets, because people have trees,” as his work in Prague in Golechemidt, Czech Republic, on July 8,.
“The scale of water use by street trees is not surprising and it is contrary to the common paradigm, which you think the parks are more healthy,” as Gabriel Filippi In Indiana University.
