By Shaimaa Khalil Published 20 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing In the town of Windsor, north-west of Sydney, some roads have turned into small rivers. And the only way to get around is by boat. Mathew Benson has been rowing up and down one of the streets in a neighbourhood in the suburb of Australia's largest city. "I'm bringing food and water to people over there," he tells me, pointing to the other side. "We're just watching and waiting." While some cars are barely visible, others are completely submerged. Many residents in the area have had to leave their homes and others are stranded as roads have been cut off. Thousands have been left without power. Another local, Sam, points to her house just across the submerged road. "We don't know about the second floor. But the first floor is definitely flooded," she tells me in tears.

By Steven McKenzie Published 17 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Scotland's hilltops were once a landscape full of woodlands but tree cover disappeared over thousands of years due to human activity. Now researcher Sarah Watts is among those collecting information on where trees are taking root as part of her work on mountain woodland restoration. "When we are talking about altitudes above 900m that is very, very extreme for a tree to grow," she says. But she says trees have been found at heights of more than 1,000m (3,281ft) on some of Scotland's highest peaks. The trees reach the mountains as seeds - often blown on winds or deposited in bird droppings after being eaten. "It's a natural process," says Ms Watts - a PhD researcher based in the Highlands with the University of Stirling's Global Change Ecology research group. "Native trees … [Read more...] about Recording Scotland’s extreme high-altitude trees
