What reading level is The Big Trees of California, Their History And Characteristics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The number of rings; near the heart of the largest old fallen trees examined, aver- ^J.
;# Jy r age about ten to the inch. Near the outside surface they aver- age fifty or more to the inch.
In the pickets of the fence which now surrounds the Gen- eral Sherman tree in the Se- quoia National Park, made from an old fallen tree in the near vicinity, those examined by myself and others present had fifty rings to the inch.
This would make an increase of two inches in the diameter of the wood part of ...the tree in fifty years. The outside sap wood of the tree undoubtedly had over sixty rings to the inch. Apparently some of the largest old fallen trees, like the —50— 'f^^ Forest Giant in the Mariposa Grove, may have attained the age of over six thousand years before they were uprooted.
Many of the largest old trees in all the groves have been badly injured by fire. This is more evident in the northern groves than in those south of Kings Eiver. In the Sequoia National Park there is no evi- dence that any extensive fires have spread through the forest for the past one hundred or more years.
