Learn the broad differences between the two and how together they help create a functioning, healthy forest ecosystem!

    Nice, within the first 2 seconds of the video, I could recognize the PNW. I like your statement about human's desire to compartmentalize nature into categories while nature is 'wiggly' and doesn't always fit into a rigid classification.

    *NICE explanation* ! I had to slow him down to 0.9x, before I could comfortably listen to him speak lol. So conifers, by keeping their needle leaves around, still can absorb the sun's rays, year round. *By not shedding so fast and other stuff* , they spend way less energy, and so unlike their big leave cousins who live about for 100y, *conifers get to live 500 to 800y* .
    *Downside* their wood is soft wood for a long time, because they take their time to grow, their bands, year on year are not as tightly packed as their big leavy cousins. Humans like the hard wood for ballistas in war, and to build multi-storey buildings lol.
    Thanks! 👍👍

    It's not boxes, it's just that humans are very good at spotting patterns. And the more intelligent the better we are at spotting these patterns.

    • @NerdyAboutNature
      @NerdyAboutNature  3 года назад

      True, but I think this ability to 'recognize patterns' also gives humans a false sense of superiority or understanding over nature, when in reality, we still don't know the root of why or how most things even operate. It's one thing to recognize patterns, an entirely other thing to actually understand, and I think if we exercised more humility in trying to 'organize' nature it would go a long way socially, spiritually, economically, etc etc.

    Great Video just one question, in the video you mentioned how old-growth forests are typically coniferous, and while that may be true out west back East our old-growth forests (or what remains of them) are/were mainly dominated by Oaks, Maples, Birch, Beech, Chestnut, & a variety of other deciduous species why would you say that is the case. The main reason I’ve heard to explain the discrepancy between the West’s Conifer Forests and the East’s Broadleaf Forests is due to the fact that the East is wet and has good soil allowing for deciduous trees to thrive and dominate the ecosystem whereas out west the dryer climate restricts deciduous trees and in turn benefiting hardier conifers which take advantage of the rockier terrain and dryer climate. As for the wet and rainy PNW from what I’ve heard the main reason the PNW is conifer dominated is due to it’s small amount of soil which is typically rocky and thus doesn’t store water well, thus restricting the growth of broadleafs and causing conifers to reign supreme

    Please SLOW DOWN when you're speaking because if you have a hearing impairment, it becomes impossible to understand what you're saying at the end when you speed way up. All I wanted was the name of 1 of the 2 trees you were talking about at the end that don't fit into the "box that mankind created."
    CC makes no sense and the transcript is just as bad. Even my app works like live closed captions and turns what is being said into captions on my phone has the single word I want wrong unless there's really a tree called "our beauty tree." This is the entire sentence
    " For example, OUR BEAUTY TREE, they're known as Broad leaf evergreen because have leaves similar to deciduous trees but they hold on to them year round." All I wanted was the name of that tree and I don't think it's called out beauty tree.
    Not even sure if the next one is correct, "On the other end of the spectrum you have LARCHEN which is technically a conifer but they lose their needles every fall, "
    CC and transcript are just complete nonsense video, for example "fantastichen countries are Today with custom antioxidant paraffin Singapore men is intended for the wizard to make important if you have permission to use for travel business to hunt for determining that content has been to understand us live at home or is a Vietnamese free for the weather the English corner to use near the before any more feel the person you Peter Paul and animal print What is your major products very sad..."
    You get the idea
    I lost 80% of my hearing in an instant. It is a result of a traumatic brain injury and I have hearing aids but it can't change tempo, pitch/tone, or annunciation all things that determine what I am able to understand now.
    It's extremely frustrating and people with perfect or normal hearing will never understand until they start losing their hearing, I know I never did and now I don't get aggravated when someone asks me to repeat something more than once & I've become very aware of how I speak. I wish everyone could do the same but it will never happen
