Hello Matteo, Dean, and List,
Here's an excerpt from the ' Tunguska '96 ' meeting report that may
provide an answer to Dean's interesting thoughts on what triggered the
"accelerated growth of the surviving trees" =====>‘Tunguska '96’,
Bologna, Italy, July 15-17, 1996 - Meeting Report from A. Harris:
" ... Longo and his colleagues have identified anomalous elemental
concentrations in the tree resins dating from the time of the event,
and a curious pattern of accelerated growth (cosmic fertilizer?) of
the surviving trees. More probably it is due to reduced competition
among the survivors ..."
Best wishes,
Bernd
