Hello,
In my story there's a tree that falls over for what ever reason and rests like a make-shift bridge over a trench. Now, my character sees this tree and then returns around 12 years later. It'd be in a cold, damp climate like Britain or Scotland towards the end of the year.
What would have happened to the tree? Would the tree have rotted and collapsed into the trench or would it still be resting across it, just softer and rotten? It's a thick tree, like an oak.
My second question is about wolf fur. If it was used as wrappings for something and weathered a lot of travelling, how long would it last? Does it desintegrate after a certain period of time? Could it last over 10 years, even if it is little more than a few tuffs of matted hair that's balding around the edges by the end?
Thanks,
P.S I feel I need to point out I'm against the use of animals being used as clothes and so on. In my story however, they live in a medieval-like time and the animal was already dead.
