He waiwai koʻikoʻi nā kumulāʻau i ke ola o ke kanaka - hiki ke kumu i ka meaʻai, ka hale kūkulu ʻana, ka ikaika a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ia hoʻi nā "māmā" o ko mākou honua. No kēia kumu, aia lākou ma lalo o ka nānā pono a me ka mālama o nā ʻoihana o nā kaiāulu - ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia no nā poʻomanaʻo kiʻekiʻe o ka honua kanu, no ka mea, ʻo kēlā me kēia ma ka liʻiliʻi he mau haneli makahiki. ʻO ka mahalo, ʻo ka lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa i ka honua a ʻo kona mau hoahānau nā lālā o ka sequoia (Sequoia sempervirens) a ulu i kahi hoʻokahi ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika.
Hyperion - kahi kiʻekiʻe loa ʻo ka honua
I ka moʻomeheu Helene kahiko, ʻo ia ka inoa ʻo Hyperion kekahi o nā titans, a ʻo ka unuhi maoli o ka inoa ka inoa ʻo "kiʻekiʻe loa"
ʻO ka lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa i kēia manawa e manaʻo ʻia he sequoia ʻo Hyperion kona inoa. Aia nō i ka hema hema ma Kaleponi ma ka Redwoods National Park, ʻo kona kiʻekiʻe he 115.61 m, ʻo ke alika o ke ʻona he 4.84 m, a ʻo kona makahiki he 800 nā makahiki. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ma hope o ka pōʻino o Hyperion i pōʻino e nā manu, ua kū ʻo ia e ulu a hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi i ke poʻo inoa i kona mau kaikuaʻana.
ʻIke ʻia nā lāʻau ma luna o ka Hyperion i ka mōʻaukala. No laila, ʻo ka hōʻike a ka mea nānā o ka mea makaʻāina o Ausetalia i nā ululāʻau o ka makahiki 1872 e haʻi ana e pili ana i kahi lāʻau i hāʻule a puhi ʻia, ʻoi aku ma mua o 150 m ke kiʻekiʻe. No ka lāʻau, aia i loko o nā ʻano 'Eucalyptus regnans,' o ia 'o ka eucalyptus aliʻi.
Helios
Kokoke ʻo nā lāʻau nui a pau i ko lākou inoa iho
A hiki i ʻAukake 25, 2006, ua manaʻo ʻia he lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka Honua, kahi hui hou o ka genus sequoia i kapa ʻia ʻo Helios. Ua nalo aku kona kūlana ma hope o ka limahana o ka paka i ʻike ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao o ke kaʻi o ka Redwood Creek i kahi lāʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo Hyperion, akā loaʻa ka manaʻo e hiki iā ia ke hoʻi. ʻAʻole e like me kona kaikuaʻana kiʻekiʻe, hoʻomau ka ulu ʻana o Helios, a i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei kona kiʻekiʻe 114.58 m.
Ikalia
Ua loaʻa i ka lāʻau i kona inoa i ka hoʻohanohano o ka moʻo moʻolelo o ka puʻupuʻu ma muli o ka ulu i ulu ma lalo o kahi manamana
Hoʻopili ʻo ka luna kiʻekiʻe i kahi Sequoia mai Kaleponi ʻo Redwoods i kapa ʻia ʻo Icarus. Loaʻa ʻia ma Iulai 1, 2006, ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kau lāʻau he 113.14 m, ʻo ke ala o ka ʻona he 3.78 m.
I loko o ke ao nei he 30 mau mele ma kahi i ulu ai nā sequoias. He ʻano ʻewaʻewa ʻole kēia, a ke hoʻāʻo nei nā kaiāulu o ke kaiāulu i ke kākoʻo - e hoʻoulu kūikawā iā British Columbia (Canada) a mālama pono i nā mālama kūlohelohe me nā sequoias.
ʻAliʻi nui
No nā makahiki he ʻumi, e ulu ana ka lāʻau ma kahi o 1 cm
Loaʻa kēia sequoia ma 2000 (kahi - Kaleponi, Humboldt National Park) a no kekahi mau makahiki i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ke alakaʻi i ke kiʻekiʻe ma waena o nā mea kanu a pau o ka honua, a hiki i ka poʻe ʻike manu a me nā mea noiʻi i ʻike iā Icarus, Helios a me Hyperion. Ke hoʻomau nei ka pīhoihoi o ka Stratosphere - inā ma 2000 kona kiʻekiʻe 112.34 m, a i ka makahiki 2010 ua loaʻa ka 113.11 m.
Hui Pūʻulu Pūnaewele
Ua kapa ʻia ka lāʻau ma hope o ka American Geographical Society
E ulu pū kekahi ʻikepili o Sequoia sempervirens me kahi inoa like ʻole e ulu ana ma Redwoods Kaleponi Park ma nā kapa o ke kahawai ʻo Redwood Creek, ʻo kona kiʻekiʻe he 112.71 m, he ʻōpala ʻōpili a 4.39 m. ʻelima laina i ka helu.
ʻO 10 mau lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka honua ma ka wikiō
ʻO ka wahi kūpono o nā lāʻau i kūkala ʻia ma luna nei ua hūnā ʻia mai ka lehulehu ākea - e hopohopo nei nā poʻe ʻepekema i kahi nui o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i kēia mau poʻe nunui i mea e hoʻonāukiuki i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka lepo a me ka hōʻino o ka ʻāina hoʻoneʻe o ka sequoia. He kūpono kēia hoʻoholo, no ka mea, ʻo nā lāʻau kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka Honua he mau ʻano lahilahi o ka honua kanu, a no laila e pono ai ka pale a me ka pale.
