Hey there, and thanks for checking out today's video! If you are a student who was assigned this video for homework, welcome to my channel! I hope that you'll check out some of my other wildlife content (after your homework is done of course). If you love wildlife and exploring the great outdoors, I think you'll really enjoy my content, and I'd love to have you as a subscribed member of this community. ALSO, I just finished up Ecosystems Episode 5: The Wetland Ecosystem, which you can check out right now if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/Jcbmc_A7vy0/w-d-xo.html Keep adventuring everywhere, -Ben Zino of The Wild Report
Growing up on a farm, one of my earliest memories of farm work involved clearing part of a field that had been a ditch with trees growing along it. The ditch was diverted in a different direction to improve drainage of the field. Clearing the trees meant that the field could be farmed with longer and straighter rows that would not be losing nutrients to the trees. In fact, the field that was cut in two by the ditch could now be cropped as one larger field leading to greater efficiency. My job as a young boy was to attach the log chain to the logs as my father or brother drove the tractor to pull the logs to the burn pile. This type of activity was common then, and it is common today, with larger and better machinery. Fields are made larger, and the acre size of farm holdings continue to become larger. Grasslands and timberland that once had uncountable numbers and types, of plants and animals, have been converted to crop land. Every acre is an enterprise zone to be managed for maximum profit. The trend toward precision technology has only emphasized this more. Companies' and individuals' entire financial existence is based on maximizing a singular crop grown on each acre, each year. The same can be demonstrated on ranch lands. Cows and cattle per acre translates into amount of habitat loss for the native fauna that needs some solitude to survive. Forcing animals to graze on an area forces a change in plant and wildlife ability to survive in that area. This drive for greater profit stands in stark contrast to what many see as the destruction of the planetary ecosystem. When asked where the plants, and animals will live that once inhabited the margins of the farms, the response is "somewhere else." Unfortunately, there isn't another planet where we can send them to, to live. Even many people who live in the suburbs of cities are oblivious to the destruction caused just by mowing their yards. They want a nice-looking yard, and if asked where the wildlife should live that once inhabited the area, the response is "out in the country" or "out in the wild areas" or again, "somewhere else." Yard grass now covers the most acres, of any "crop" grown. The questions now are, do we want future generations to be able to experience what a wild place really is, to have the risk of being harmed, or even killed, by wild animals and plants in nature? Do we have the right to make that decision for them? Now is the time to decide. "Somewhere else" won't exist for much longer unless we recreate that space on our farms, ranches, and yards. Will anyone really be happier never seeing a skunk, badger, fox, butterfly, mosquito, marmot, box turtle, crawdad, water bug, rattlesnake, wildcat, lighting bug, bat, salamander, or eagle outside of a zoo? I can't name all the animals that no longer exist in abundance, or exist at all, in the name of profits. Can home owners and land owners find 10% to give back to the future? Will anyone be willing to do what is necessary, or do we all expect "someone else," to do it, "somewhere else?" Does it take an act of Congress or of God himself to save the remnant plants and animals and renew the face of the earth? Lastly, a quote from the Bible: "Woe to you who join house to house, who connect field to field, 'till no room remains, and you are left to dwell alone in the midst of the land." Isaiah 5:8.
Fun fact: Trees can send nutrients to other trees that have a hard time getting them during certain seasons. I recently came across a dead tree that was healing. Even though it won't produce energy, the other trees will still give it some.
Who needs to watch the spam and cheese of brave wilderness when you have a just as smart individual who clearly cares about his passions and isn’t out there to harass and stress out wildlife to make a quick buck.The smaller TH-cam channels are always the most genuine and most informative. Keep up the great content my friend!!!
Thank you so much for the support! It means a lot for me to have engaged community members like yourself that care about my content and passion for conservation.
Thank you! This is really great for me to learn. I'm not a native English speaker but we have to learn Science in English. So, this video is a great benefit to me
From a 5th grade teacher in Ohio you did an awesome job! Every year I search and search for videos besides Bill Nye. There are a few I have found that work and there are many that just don't make the cut. Yours has been added to the top of the list. Not only is your content on track for our standard, but your delivery is perfect for elementary and middle school. You mentioned more on ecosystems but other topics to include might be: adaptations, symbiosis, more on diversity, competition, food chains and food webs. These are basic 5th grade standards.Please make more. I look forward to using them next year. GOOD LUCK!!!
Wow, thank you so much for this kind comment! I am so glad to hear that you are able to use my videos to help supplement your curriculum. I'll definitely be producing more content like this in the future, and will try to incorporate some of the concepts that you mention above into those videos. I really appreciate your support!
This was my 5th grade science homework. I already learned about ecosystems in 4th grade because my 4th grade teacher taught 5th grade stuff and my 5th grade teacher didn’t know that so we are learning about it again .
Just found your channel. Your videos are about to be one of the driving forces for the ecosystem unit that we are putting together at my school! My 7th graders are going to love them!
This is a really cool concept Ben, I love the idea of releasing accessible education for all ages, especially now. I look forward to seeing where you go with this series! - Harrison
Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge about the ecosystem, Sir Ben! I'm a student and I am taking up ecology class. Your video is right of the bat simple and straightforward definitely an educational one! Thank you so much for this quality content :) looking forward to your other videos!
I love the videos that I have found from your channel. Your work as educators should get you both more subscribers and more videos on your videos. This is great content for all ages. It's also really cool that you are providing free resources for parents and educators during this difficult time.
How sick would it be if someone put important details of this video and write it down in the comments? Honestly, I have to find stuff in this video and I wanna just scroll down in the comments and find it instead lol
I think you had it right early on and then made adjustments that confused the ecosystem concept with what should be technically called communities and organisms. It is important to understand that ecosystems are conceptual tools. Ways in which we can look at a perceptible spatial - temporal objects consistencies of study : like a tree, a forest, Yellowstone by applying the ecosystem concept to look at some of the systems integrative levels and organizing principles.
if your teachers asks to write notes here: ecosystems are communities of plants we usually define ecosystems based on the types of plants and animals which can be found there there are two main types of ecosystems; restroom and aquatic A good ecosystem needs to let animals and plants live. unbalanced it is harder for animals to find food and shelter

Nice wor
@Oliver Martin go watch a gaming channel if you want to watch gaming. But while you’re doing that, the rest of us will be here, learning.
This was my homework for 5th grade science class...
was sent here by my science teacher. grade 10.
@Oliver Martin Gaming is not a requirement
I was assigned to watch this from my teacher. Lol 😂 good content tho.

NICE
So nice
im watching this during class lol😂😂😂
Nice
Thanks!
Looking at this for science thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge about the ecosystem, Sir Ben! I'm a student and I am taking up ecology class. Your video is right of the bat simple and straightforward definitely an educational one! Thank you so much for this quality content :) looking forward to your other videos!
So glad that you enjoyed as much as you did, thanks for the feedback!
35 secs in and i knew that this will be intresting

Wow
Nice video! I'm learning English and this video was very useful to learn vocabulary related to ecosystem :)
Hey that's awesome, so glad I could help!
i love your videos
I'm so glad to hear that!
Ecosystem is the community of interacting plants, animals, and their sorroundings
this is my homework for today
Mine too
I love the videos that I have found from your channel. Your work as educators should get you both more subscribers and more videos on your videos. This is great content for all ages. It's also really cool that you are providing free resources for parents and educators during this difficult time.
Thank you so much for the support Isabella, I really appreciate it!
I needed a science test and i think this is the answer :p
ecosystem pog champ
please do some vids on invasives & the damage they cause.
I will definitely try and film some more invasive species, thankfully they are relatively uncommon where I live.
@@TheWildReportOfficial I think you'd be surprised how many there are: www.eddmaps.org/tools/statereport.cfm?id=us_nc

GAGUT GREETINGS...
Not enough tundras #painful #yeahboi #2.5/20
Now I can help my kid
Awesome, glad to hear it!
my teacher has told us to watch this three times now
Well at least you got it over with now
if your teachers asks to write notes here:
ecosystems are communities of plants
we usually define ecosystems based on the types of plants and animals which can be found there
there are two main types of ecosystems; restroom and aquatic
A good ecosystem needs to let animals and plants live.
unbalanced it is harder for animals to find food and shelter
*terrestrial and aquatic (those restroom ecosystems get kind of scary)
im whaching thish for home shool
Does anyone know the definition for ecosystem benefits
Those are positive side-effects of a healthy ecosystem! Things like wild foods, clean water, and air purification :)
genial
I was assigned to write 10 words I heard from this video (9th grade)
Homework for today
Hope you enjoyed, let me know how I can improve!
thx noel
wow
For the people who disliked this. Is everything ok at home?
me to love animals

My teacher told me to watch this lol 😂
LOL Ecosystem changed my life, frick no, poor guy
