Long-term exposure to wildfire smoke may be depleting the energy reserves of California's orchard trees — reducing their nut production by as much as half, a new study has found. Smoke can impact such trees for months following a megafire, with far-reaching effects on seasonal blooms and subsequent harvests, according to the study, published on Wednesday in Nature Plants. “A lot of research focuses on the impact of smoke on humans but there is less study on the effects of smoke on plant health,” lead author Jessica Orozco, a postdoctoral researcher in plant sciences at the University of California Davis, said in a statement. “Our study suggests that trees are just as vulnerable a
