Are Acer coniferous..?
Viewed 12 times
Hi. The authors are stating that Acer, Quercus, Acacia and even Eucalyptus (basically their research topic) are coniferous trees. Obviously they are not, and I find it quite concerning that this passed 3 reviewers + 1 editor.
Also, some references from the same paragraph are wrongly cited (ex: Duperat et al. 2021 concerns Balsam fir trees and not Acer pseudoplatanus).
