Down but not out

How long does it take for a fallen tree to disappear back into the earth? Well, quite some time it seems. I remember this tree coming down over 20 years ago, and although weathered and barkless, it still remains a prominent feature and obstacle, having fallen across a track. It's remains solid and I should image it'll still be here for some years to come. In some parts of the forest the rotting hulks of mighty leviathans felled by the infamous 'hurricane' of 87' can still be seen. They're amazing really, trees.
