40:- Dead trees in the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US. These trees grew during inactivity of the mineral-rich springs, and were killed when calcium carbonate carried by spring water clogged the vascular systems of the trees. The same process also effectively preserves the trees by preventing decay.

The 1000px minimum is just meant as a baseline filter to get rid of unreasonably small images, not a black-and-white test for adequacy of detail. Many images that meet the 1000px minimum are rejected on those grounds. —

If only I had taken a picture of the sign that was by some of these trees... I'm afraid right now, it's unsourced, unless someone who can go there can get a picture or something as a source... I am looking for a source.

covers the first bit of the caption, but I'm not sure which one covers that about clogging their vascular system and preventing decay.
290:
Any natural process which prevents decay on earth is encyclopedic. Image highlights the calcium(cause) and tree(effect) perfectly. --
