back in the 1990's I was involved in a project in TX that started in 1930. It was a 90 year project, but one site reverted back to having springs on the property. One was a total abject failure by 1970.
It is so encouraging to see people devote their life to help this planet Earth to restore what has been damaged. I sault all the warriors who participated in the process to restore the dessert into Oasis. Keep the good spirit and God bless you all.
Absolutely impressive results!!! This project and technology requires a lot more attention and support, so we can start the reforestation all over the globe!
I think the Groasis watering system is one of the best ideas I've seen in irrigation. It's simple and robust and also protects the plant and soil too. And they planted in the Summer with 95% success? Unreal!
The plants will pull the moisture to itself changing the climate in a positive way. The plants will also give out oxygen into the atmosphere. The plants will also create soil out of sand as they drop leaves. Very exciting as the deserts around the world have been growing and becoming unsustainable and as world population is also growing.
Exactly! It has been also documented that forests attract the rain. Planting these trees might increase the annual rainfall, as the trees create evaporation.
@elijah mikle They do, as It has been reported since always by traditional knowledge. Now many scientists start to see it as something possible: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotic_pump
Also the more vegetation you have in one area the more carbon is sucked out of atmosphere and into the soil. Great for global warming and great for soil.
I love these follow up videos. That’s fantastic progress in Spain. At first I thought ... meh, till I saw the guy standing next to the trees for a size comparison, that is so incredible ! Keep going guys !!

Imagine a variety of trees being planted, instead of monocultures. You would have a greater variety of birds insects and animals. Maybe they could try that next
The plan in the reforestation of deserted areas is to plant with pioneer species such as Pinus sylvestris and once the mass has settled gradually substitute that monospecific formation for a mixed mass where there is variety, reforestation is a plan for more than 80 years view...
Steve Wiseburn How about planting the Moringa tree .... www.permaculturenews.org/2017/09/04/health-benefits-miracle-tree-moringa-tree/, and the Tea Tree Oil Tree.... www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/melaleuca-tea-tree/melaleuca-tea-tree-care.htm
Looks like they were trying out a variety of trees each with there own plantation to see how each developed and what effects each has on the eco structure, The deciduous trees appear to be surrounded by more grasses than the pines, maybe something to do with deeper roots holding more moisture in the ground and the leaves dropping, providing more bio mass to form soil and hold moisture, Pines have a shallower root system which takes up a lot of the surface water and don't drop so many leaves, pines also create very acidic soil which is not good for a large variety of plants.
A variety of growing plants will turn up naturally introduced in the droppings of birds and animals visiting this site now that there is shelter for seedlings.
I live in a similar desertic area in Spain and paying people for reforestation jobs is imposible for small country villages. They do not have that money and politics do not care much about this matter because we are few for voting. So this solution is accesible for small village because they can do it themselves and do not have to wait for the state money.
That would be most government "jobs" where I'm from, they don't do anything which is better than many of the rest whom only interfere with productive pursuits.
Eso no es posible salvo que por cualquier razón haya agua en capas inferiores. Eso es un secarral y las plantas conforme más crecen tienen más necesidades hídricas. Puedes salvarlas los primeros años, pero a futuro desarrollarán enanismo y moriran
They planted two trees per box, a pine tree + an oak tree/juniper tree. The pine trees grow quickly so you start to reap the benefits of having a tree there sooner. The junipers and oaks grow slower, but they will appear eventually.
@@spiritanimal7516 Mesquite is ok in a managed area, like a garden or a farm, where you can use it for mulch before it spreads its seeds. Once it escapes to the wild it is a HORRIBLE pest that lets nothing else grow, injures animals and people, sucks water dry and kills the remnants of any native plants that might have yet survived. The point of such plantations is to prepare the conditions for other species to grow in a decade or two with no human management. Once the pioneer species survive the seedling stage, you can come back and add a few other species if you want to speed things up or just move to another area and use your resources optimally.
Sería maravilloso que en todos los países se llevaran a cabo iniciativas de reforestación como estas, usando tecnologías modernas de riego la relación costo/beneficios es muy baja respecto de las enormes bondades que significan para mejorar el planeta en lo que a ecosistemas se refiere.

Good work!!! Three types of plants together may work better. The grasses and trees work together. The grasses entrap water vapor at night in the crown and condense it into the root system by gravity. this happens even when they are brown.
Woow I would like to be part these activities in near future I have plan to fight against deforestation in my country Somalia where Droughts and deforestation is very critical in the future imagine my Somali people are dying because of droughts I need some training and hope to visit this project to understand how it works Thank you if help me to get contact of the project managers

It would be amazing to see the project extended to the rest of the area with a long term goal of being able to use sustainable extraction to provide local employment. I'd love to see how much biomass has built up in the soil after a 10 year period. Cost of project expansion could possibly be shared between local authority, a university partner/s, conservation groups & maybe a go fund me page.

Que bonito ,parece un bosque natural ,uno detrás de otro y justo uno al lado de otro ,como una compañía de infantería . Que himajinacion de hacer crecer un bosque natural , si señor , se lo han currado.
I wonder if there's a tree from the Morus group(mulberry tree) that is adapted to a dry environment Those trees can grow 30 feet in only 2 years providing shade food and shelter There's over 600 different variations in this species
Well then check out Green African Belt or Chinese anti-desertification efforts. There are more bright spots :) I must know - I am, too, a bright Spot :)
@The Guru of Kang if the box is open after some time, doesn't it mean that we need to provide constant water supply to the trees afterwards? if we have a constant water supply infrastructure why would we need those boxes? (no offence, im no farmer or so. I am just curious)
Great result! Now continue this with a variation of ten different species (three are in my eyes still too much like a monoculture), and maybe not plant in rows. So this can become a forest, resembling a natural one.
rows are a necesity to acumulate more moisture, better irrigation absorption, cleaning etc later, when the woods grew up then the landscape will change dramatically with rain, rivers, flora & fauna .. etc 😍
As you can see from the comments, this video raised more questions than it answered. I would have liked to see an artist's rendering of what it will look like in ten years, and twenty years.
Felicidades por este proyecto realmente es gratificante ver que haya humanos que se preocupen por reforestar a la madre tierra, deberian probar con el ficus microcarpa es una arbol que se adapta a cualquier clima,seria en mi opinion una especie idonia para reforestar, pues es un arbol caducifilio, produce abundante capa de materia organica y crece en suelos humedos y secos en zonas bajas y altas he tenido esa curiosidad de observar y pensado en una planta para reforestar. Si bien quieren creer que vean el video de como hacer nacer agua o como cultivar agua o usar el agua viva. En hora buena exelente trabajo
Se usa el pino porque crece muy rápido y los políticos no piensan en sus proyectos a largo tiempo, por lo que para asegurarse de que se llevan el mérito y así tener más votos las próximas elecciones usan estos árboles. Por eso en Madrid y en todas partes los están utilizando. El problema esque realmente es un árbol muy invasivo y dañino ya que las ojas de esos árboles tienen una sustancia ácida que elimina todo resto de vegetación (así no tiene competencia) y si los pones en exceso inutiliza el suelo. Por eso si te acercas a un Pinar veras que en todo el suelo no hay nada. Es algo que a la larga va a ser negativo porque los políticos son incapaces de mirar por más de 4 años
@@AndresLopez-jo9xd pues obviamente no hay un árbol concreto para toda España, depende de la zona pero siempre habría que mirar hacia vegetación autóctona. En Madrid por ejemplo las Encinas puedes sobrevivir ya que es una tierra muy rocosa, árida y prácticamente de granito (pobre en minerales), lo que pasa es que estas se quedan muy pequeñas y tardan mucho en crecer. Además la solución siempre está en la variedad no sólo en un árbol. Espero haberte iluminado.
I'm not sure putting biodegradable plastic in the ground is such a good idea, nano particles of plastic are much harder to clean up than large amounts of the stuff & might it not transport to the produce?

The natural process doesn't look much different. Pines come first and then once they provide shade, more species can survive.
agreed.
Granted but still, any tree is a good thing. Even if all it does is add a little colour to the desert and a little beauty to the landscape
First you need prospectors like pines. Then also others will come.

MUY BIEN VERY GOOD....PINOS..NOGALES..CASTAÑOS...ESTA BIEN,ANIMO CON TODAS LAS COSAS Y VAYA TODO BIEN..CON ALEGRIA Y FELICIDAD..
Felicidades por este proyecto realmente es gratificante ver que haya humanos que se preocupen por reforestar a la madre tierra, deberian probar con el ficus microcarpa es una arbol que se adapta a cualquier clima,seria en mi opinion una especie idonia para reforestar, pues es un arbol caducifilio, produce abundante capa de materia organica y crece en suelos humedos y secos en zonas bajas y altas he tenido esa curiosidad de observar y pensado en una planta para reforestar.
Si bien quieren creer que vean el video de como hacer nacer agua o como cultivar agua o usar el agua viva.
En hora buena exelente trabajo
Los Monteros es una estepa desértica. Por qué no lo dejan como está ???
Bueno disculpe me gustaría saber que tipo especies.
Pregunta: ¿ No hay otro tipo de árboles que no sean pinos ?. ¿ No hay árboles frutales ?.
Se usa el pino porque crece muy rápido y los políticos no piensan en sus proyectos a largo tiempo, por lo que para asegurarse de que se llevan el mérito y así tener más votos las próximas elecciones usan estos árboles. Por eso en Madrid y en todas partes los están utilizando. El problema esque realmente es un árbol muy invasivo y dañino ya que las ojas de esos árboles tienen una sustancia ácida que elimina todo resto de vegetación (así no tiene competencia) y si los pones en exceso inutiliza el suelo. Por eso si te acercas a un Pinar veras que en todo el suelo no hay nada. Es algo que a la larga va a ser negativo porque los políticos son incapaces de mirar por más de 4 años
@@hahahuy8636 iluminanos, que tipo de árbol se puede plantar y que no tenga mantenimiento de riego y que aguante una tierra tan pobre
@@AndresLopez-jo9xd pues obviamente no hay un árbol concreto para toda España, depende de la zona pero siempre habría que mirar hacia vegetación autóctona. En Madrid por ejemplo las Encinas puedes sobrevivir ya que es una tierra muy rocosa, árida y prácticamente de granito (pobre en minerales), lo que pasa es que estas se quedan muy pequeñas y tardan mucho en crecer. Además la solución siempre está en la variedad no sólo en un árbol. Espero haberte iluminado.
How many times did they refill the waterboxes before they failed?
A great solution to having to keep pines watered the first 3 years and biodegradable!
I'm not sure putting biodegradable plastic in the ground is such a good idea, nano particles of plastic are much harder to clean up than large amounts of the stuff & might it not transport to the produce?
