A colony of 48,000 quaking aspen trees (nicknamed Pando), covering 106 acres (43 ha) in the Fishlake National Forest of Utah, is considered one of the oldest and largest organisms in the world. Recent estimates set the colony's age at several thousand (up to 14,000) years, although tree ring samples date individual stems at rarely more than 130 ...
The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

The colony has survived an estimated 13,000 years through clonal reproduction, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] making it one of the world's oldest living trees . [ 5 ]
The rate of species loss is greater now than at any time in human history, with extinctions occurring at rates hundreds of times higher than background extinction rates. [35] [38] [39] and expected to still grow in the upcoming years. [39] [40] [41] As of 2012, some studies suggest that 25% of all mammal species could be extinct in 20 years. [42]
living on a street with 10 more trees than average (both on the street and in backyards) makes you feel as healthy as if you were seven years younger.
Most of these plants have true roots and leaves, and many were quite tall. The tree-like Archaeopteris, ancestral to the gymnosperms, and the giant cladoxylopsid trees had true wood. These are the oldest known trees of the world's first forests. Prototaxites was the fruiting body of an enormous fungus that stood more than 8 meters tall. By the ...
