Why are trees and vines so lacking in ambition?

Great story!  I think truly happy people don't need to lord it over others.  In fact, that's the essence of heaven's peace!

Yeah you bet ... but it is not really a suprise because we live in a fallen world. All of us "fall short" and its just that those that don't "love Him" have a different heart, you will recognise a tree by its fruit - out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks - a good tree does not bear bad fruit and in the same way a bad tree will not bear good fruit. You have a Bible, you know the verses. I guess that some of the folks that "know Him" don't come on here due to some of the content on here such as that you have referred to. Hope this answers your question.

aaah plants are soooooo boring. I hate plants.  I'd wait for human genetics rather than being bored out of my miiiind with plants.

To answer this question one must get to the 'root' of the problem. We could 'branch' off in any direction from there and ascertain why they refuse to 'leaf' it be. Could it be that at the 'core' level, there are 'seeds' of discension? Or is it on a more 'cellular' level. It presents a strange 'dicot'omy at best.

individual Plants with more advanced nervous systems aren't morelikely to survive, since they are immobile

The plants have to attempt to get more sunlight in the limited shade. Thus, they expand their surface area to catch more sunlight to get as much sunlight as another plant that is directly in the sunshine.

a tree gets a new ring every year (with each turn of the season- growing cycle).  rings that are close together would suggest that the tree did not have a good growing season, vice versa for rings which are far apart.  \n\nhowever, there could be any number of reasons which might affect growth including temperature or water (seasons of drought) or perhaps even soil conditions.

Plants need a number of things to grow. They need water from the soil, energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air and they need nutrients.  Very often one or more of these resources are limiting so that the plant can not grow as big as it would otherwise. Often the most limiting resources are water or nutrients. This can be helped by irrigation in the case of water or by fertilisers in cases were nutrients are deficit. Nutrients are building blocks in the plant. For example nitrogen, which is most abundant in the plant except for carbon, is an important element in \nproteins, as is sulphur. Magnesium is needed in the chlorophyll so that the plants can gain energy from sunlight. These elements can be given to the \nplants by fertilising the soil. Nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium are generally given in the largest amounts. Sulphur, magnesium, copper, zinc and so on are given much sparse and are called micronutrients. Carbon is \nnot a nutrient in the same way, as the roots do not take it up. It is assimilated in needed quantities from the air as carbon dioxide.

Because they can't make money off trees unless they cut them down.\n\nBecause they occupy space that could be used for strip malls, parking lots, fast food stores, and housing development.

A forest has lots of wood, a wood doesnt have lots of forests

I think these are mostly on paper but in reality even today conservation is given a go by to meet the growing development needs. Every country and county have laws governing this but seldom observed or more observed in breach!!!Hundred trees are cut for building roads or broadening it and to satisfy legal requirements and meet objection of environmentalist 200 saplings all planted but then we dont see ant of them after a year!!!!\nWe consume coal. oil,and all mineral and natural resources as if we have no tomorrow .We say many of the living species are becoming extinct. Daily we test some arsenal or other which are deadly.Scientists have produced many medicines as well as genetically treated seeds and make merry .Human being are the guniea pigs . They introduce something but then withdraw it at some place but not from other places.\nWe are digging our own graves.

It's not the money!\nIt's the fact that the earth will be terribly out of balance and mother nature will take a drastic nose dive if there are not more forests.  All life will probably die.\nOur atmosphere is created by all the plants and trees giving off all their oxygen.  Earth would not be the beautiful life supporting place that it is without trees.

uh, just out on a limb here... (ha ha, check that pun out!) but YOU want your husband to do forestry, and YOU are doing research... shouldn't HE be the one checking things out? YOU need to get him a good job? it sounds to me like you are trying to change your lazy man. if you keep doing things for him, he never will do them himself. just an assumption. sorry if i'm wrong, but it is something to think about.

There's this huge plant in my front yard, it's called a tree.  If I climb, I get high.\n\nIs your life so empty that you need chemical alteration?

I would love to help you. Along with your essay, make a small project like a tree, and how each BRANCH(get it) works. Unfortunatly, You waited until last minute. I have done that; it is not the way to go

Because motility is not the only criteria.Autotrophism is one of it.Actually all plant are motile at some stage.
