Tree Bark: A Surprising and Diverse Reservoir for Water · Frontiers for Young Minds
Bark is the outside layer of wood that all trees have. Bark protects trees from harsh environmental conditions including weather, pests, disease, and damage from hungry animals. Just like leaves, bark is different across species. Some trees have thick, rough bark while others have thin, smooth bark. When it rains, bark acts like a sponge and absorbs water. Some trees have bark with large pore spaces that make it easy to absorb rain water quickly. Other trees have bark with smaller pore spaces, which absorb water slowly. Each tree species has a maximum storage capacity of water that can be held in the bark. In fact, some mature trees can store more than 100 L of water in their bark—that is about as much water as you would use in a 10-min shower! In this way, bark influences the water cycle of individual trees and entire forests.
