À propos de ce contenu audio

 The Great Basin bristlecone pine is widely regarded as the longest-living individual organism on Earth. Native to high-altitude regions of the southwestern United States, these trees endure extreme conditions, including freezing temperatures, intense winds, and nutrient-poor soils, yet can survive for more than 5,000 years. Although some clonal organisms may persist longer through repeated regeneration, the bristlecone pine holds the record for non-clonal longevity, meaning each tree has remained a single continuous individual throughout its lifespan. To safeguard these ancient trees from damage or exploitation, scientists deliberately keep the exact locations of the oldest known specimens secret. Beyond their extraordinary age, bristlecone pines are invaluable to science, as their growth rings provide precise, long-term records of past climate patterns and offer critical insight into historical and modern climate change.
