The oldest bald cypress yet documented is at least 2,624-years old, making Taxodium distichum the oldest-known wetland tree species, the oldest living trees in eastern North America, and the fifth oldest known non-clonal tree species on earth. The annual ring-width chronology developed from the ancient Black River bald cypress trees is positively correlated with growing season precipitation totals over the southeastern United States and with atmospheric circulation over the Northern Hemisphere, providing the longest exactly-dated climate proxy yet developed in eastern North America. The Nature Conservancy owns 6,400 ha in their Black River Preserve and the North Carolina legislature is considering establishment of a Black River State Park, but ancient forested wetlands are found along most of this 106 km stream and remain threatened by logging, water pollution, and sea level rise.","author":{"name":"DW Stahle, JR Edmondson, IM Howard, CR Robbins, RD Griffin, A Carl, CB Hall, DK Stahle, MCA Torbenson"},"citation":"DW Stahle, JR Edmondson, IM Howard, CR Robbins, RD Griffin, A Carl, CB Hall, DK Stahle, MCA Torbenson. 2019.
