Imagine this: you\u2019re on holiday. After visiting an idyllic town or an adventurous hike through the mountains, you contentedly seek out a sunny terrace. You lean back and feel the sun’s rays warming your face. After a while, you notice your face getting very warm; it even starts to burn. Once back at the holiday home, you look in the mirror and are shocked. Your whole face is bright red!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunburn in Trees<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Sunburn is not only a common problem for people but also for trees. Sunburn occurs when trees are exposed to intense sunlight, especially during extremely hot days or after a period of cloudiness. The latter may sound strange, but when the clouds suddenly disappear, the amount of UV radiation reaching the trees quickly increases. This abrupt increase can overwhelm the trees’ protective mechanisms, leading to sunburn. Additionally, there is often a lot of sun reflection from pavement, buildings, and heat radiation from surfaces like asphalt. This also contributes to the development of sunburn in trees.<\/p>\n\t
