drowned trees

Drowned trees are trees that have been submerged underwater due to changes in water levels, such as flooding or rising seas. When these trees are underwater for long periods, their wood may decay or become preserved in the water, creating unique underwater landscapes and archaeological sites. They provide valuable information about past environments and climate changes. In some cases, drowned trees can also act as natural anchors for aquatic habitats, supporting diverse ecosystems. While they can pose navigational hazards, they also serve as remarkable remnants of historical and ecological shifts.
