Why are there no trees on the Aran Islands?


Why are there no trees on the Aran Islands? The smooth limestone table began to weather into a fissured pavement known as clints and grikes. There was no topsoil, no trees, and very little fresh water, because the rainfall plunged underground. The Burren bedrock is riddled with cave systems and perhaps these will one day be discovered on the Aran Islands.
