9% of precipitation of ten months 4 0 mm/year is generally very limited (Table 17). The ecological evaluation of dew precipitation is not concerned with total amounts but with precipitation per night, which in Central Europe is below 1 mm. 07 mm/hour. Often water released by guttation is taken for dew. With a few exceptions (Table Mountain in Capetown, fog valleys in California with Sequoia sempervirens) dew precipitation cannot improve the water balance. Dew is of greater importance, however, for transpiration reduction, particularly in the case of a long-lasting morning fog.
Eucalyptus, in dry areas, develop a long tap root with few poorly developed laterals. On favourable sites, however, they develop a shallow fibrous root system (Zimmermann and Grosse, 1958, in Kozlowski, 1971a, further examples are given). It is to be noted that generally every healthy, undisturbed and well-sited tree produces, without our assistance, the root system which suits it, as long as we do not put obstacles in its way. A tree can even compensate for the effects of prevailing winds. 4. Aging of trees Compared with other living beings, trees may grow unusually old.
The latter comprise the edaphic living flora and fauna of the soil (edaphon), dead organic matter (humus). The organic substance is essential for the life of soil organisms. It also improves the soil's physical condition. Humus binds the nutritive substances, thus saving them from being washed deeper into the ground. It also improves the water retaining capacity and the aeration of the soil. 1 billion bacteria. In addition the soil harbours fungi, algae and vast numbers of animals from protozoa to metazoa and earthworms.
