Have you met the newest resident on campus? This newly planted #fraserfir (Abies faseri) joins the more than 1,100 #trees of 80 different species that call our campus home. At full growth, this #fir will take in 50 gallons of dissolved nutrients from the soil every day, raise this mixture to its topmost leaves, convert it into 10 pounds of carbohydrates and release about 60 cubic feet of oxygen into the air. The average human being uses 19 cubic feet of oxygen per day, so you can breathe easy with this new friend at RIC! 🌲🌬😀 . . . #RICnews #experienceRIC #rhodeislandcollege #tree #nature #greenspace #treesoncampus #plantlife #treesofinstagram #firtree #trees🌲 #hugatree
