Yes, it is. Forests are so beautiful and so important for the environment. They are home to some of my favourite animals, grey wolves (Canis lupus), eurasian brown bears (Ursus arctos arctos), red deer (Cervus elaphus), Eurasian kingfishers (Alcedo atthis), etc.
Yes. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I love the rainforest here. The forest floor is beautiful with moss all over the ground and in the trees. I love walking through the forest and being surrounded by the tall evergreen trees. Thats why I love the temperate forest so much
@@anotherpersonontheweb5558 I'm from Sweden and therefore I live in this biome as well. But we don't really have temperate rainforests over here and I think they look beautiful. It would be so cool to be in one some time in the future.
@@johansorensson7578 what biome exactly are you in over there in Sweden? The temperate rainforest is so beautiful. It rains so much here but the scenery is gorgeous, especially since we have lots of hills and mountains
I did not expect to get legitimately emotional about...trees and biomes, but man, this video was amazing. I was glued to the screen the whole time, and really walked away with a newfound appreciation for the trees and plants of our world.
I live in the tropics, in the eternal summer. I have a great admiration for the deciduous trees, I haven't had the fortune of experience a true autumn into a deciduous forest, but the pictures I've saw of deciduous trees during the fall foliage peak are so spectacular. The deciduous trees in the tropics don't experience that change in color in that way. Thanks so much for bring us so special, beautiful, artistic and well-prepared work. (as always!!) Thanks for this awesome journey through the temperate forests of Earth, I loved it! You always surprise me! 🍁🍂
Richard Torres I like more the tropical areas I live in the south part of Brazil, here the climate is humid subtropical and the biome is the seasonal tropical forest , the best biome of all the world would be better if the tropical areas were bigger
I live in central FL and autumn peaks are usually really late into the season (december and afterwards) for the temperature to allow it, and even then we have too manu evergreen subtropical wildlife for it to even react during this time. Mostly the live oak trees here just slowly lose leaves over the course of a couple of weeks and then regrow it a week later. But that's what happens when it's not a desert and you live only 28 degrees north of the equator.
@@Alc2308 Hi fella, I live in the South-east area "SP", I disagree with you, every biome is unique, and there is no such thing as "the best biome", no way at all, every one of it is needed to the world as a whole. I love the Atlantic forest, and de Serrado/Savana, and I love to have the chance to experience others biomes from earth´s different regions. that would not be possible if every place were Tropical.
We are doing a science unit in our homeschool about the Biomes of the Earth and these videos are just perfect! Thank you so much for your hard work on these. We live in a mixed temperate forest and I think this is our favorite biome.
Thank you for including my photographs of the majestic Cedar tree in Valentines Park, Ilford (nowadays a suburb in north-east London) and for crediting me. When I took this images I never dreamt of such use, but am absolutely delighted that it happened. Simon
Yes, but our winters are too harsh. That's why I love southern far-east asia. Subtropical Korea, Japan and China. 4 seasons, perhumid, but winters aren't harsh.
Living in Germany, temperate forest’s are our home and our origin. The trees are very big, individual and majestic. The oak is one of the symbols of Germany and it’s very cool to have a lot of them around here. Especially the big and old ones are truly fascinating. They give me the feeling, that nothing can destroy them (except of the good old chainsaw).
Hi! Another very important endemic species of Chile, which makes up the Chilean temperate rainforest, is the "Coigüe de Magallanes" _(Nothofagus betuloides)_ it is a subpolar plant species that even inhabits the Cape Horn Archipelago, making it the southernmost forest in the world. (NatGeo)
What a fantastic documentary. Informative yet relaxing with fantastic visuals and a wonderful tone to your voice. Letting the trees speak for themselves at the end was a wonderful touch to end on. All of your videos are excellent my friend. Thank you!
I really appreciate that, thanks! Yes the end montage was a special treatment I did for the trees, compared to the species in other episodes in the series.
I Have never seen such bright Red, orange and Yellow leafs, sooooo so so so amazing! if it is breath-taking watching it via a video, I cannot imagine walking through that kind of florest at fall... I would melt!
The eastern US Highlands and New England have some of the most varied and vivid fall colors. It's so common to us who live here and yet we marvel at the reds, yellows, and oranges each year and look forward to the "rebirth" of the trees in the spring
@@nickzz12 I watch with wonder some rare threes that get some sparse orange leafs here, and once I´ve found a non-native three here, with different-shaped leafs, unconmon here, and they were a yellow-orange-ish coloured, that were so good to stare, I was tripping on the sight hahahahaha
Seattle area does have a very rainforest type feel even though only the Olympic peninsula is. The continuous light rain which can go without much of a break for hours, days and even weeks has lead to some social phenomena for example locals never use an umbrella and will point out the tourists or new residents by the use of an umbrella, another most serious impact although less common in Vancouver BC or Portland is called the "Seattle Freeze" where people spend so much time indoors that they become socially disconnected and difficult to make intermate friendships with , although the internet has eased somewhat but as a result Seattle has the highest percent of people who read books in the USA and perhaps one of the highest in the world which may have lead to the highest level of educated population... Funny how something as simple as rain style may have lead to such a deep social impact. In addition due to the rainfall and heavy tree coverage will lead the the roof of your house, anything you leave outdoors, sidewalks and your car will be impacted by moss growth if left without use for as little as a few weeks mostly in Spring time.
Probably the most insightful comment on this thread. And that's pretty hilarious about the umbrellas. Thank you for sharing that! Did you check out my earlier special video on the PNW climate? They say the Scots developed a disproportionate amount of the world's inventions because the weather is so awful there, they would just stay in their shed/workshop and come up with something brilliant mentally, instead of just going to the beach....
Nice video. I’m from Uruguay and lot of that trees are now planted in the region. Our original biome is grassland but now you can see eucalyptus, pine, oak, poplar, cypress, ash and plane trees everywhere. I think this is possible due to the climatic similarities, but it seems that nature didn’t want to give us forests.
After getting a good look at this video, I can someone what see a difference between these forests and the tropical ones. After watching both videos side by side, my only observation is that the tropical trees tend to look more skinnier, more crooked and and branch out more crazy like, with some trees much taller than others. While the temperate trees are more strait and uniform with every tree at about the same height where as the tropics, the trees are at different heights. Now of course some temperate forests like Australia have that crazy branch like look. Great video none the less!!
GeoDiode I’m afraid you are right lol. I wish tropical trees had a more dramatic branching, it’s disappointing to see that there isn’t a noticeable difference. You would think they would look different due to there climates lol.
15:25 Is it just me or is that footage from Red Dead Redemption 2? :D Either way, this video was excellently put together. You've really upped your game!
GeoDiode i live in Dfb, and we get lots of maple and oak trees in parks and woodlands around here, and i always wish i could see them back before the colonial days and industrial growth where i live, and see them when they were full
Wonderful ! It’s approximately the « C » group of climate (and a bit of « D »). I have a suggestion for you, for your casebook : the Po valley case and its Mid-Latitude Humid Subtropical Climate, much colder in winter than Atlanta or even Washington/Baltimore. Characterised by cold foggy winters and hot (but not as hot as the southeastern US) summer. I LOVE your channel, thank you very much. Cheers, Cyprien.
GeoDiode Don’t worry about it ;) ! It’s a suggestion, a lot of confusion in this mid-latitude Cfa climate... Cfa is probably the most interesting climate of the Köppen climate classification. Milan ≠ Florida Good night ! ;)
Météo & Nature I live in the south of Brazil here the climate is very similar to Southeast of United States ( it’s like houston but the summer are Little cooler and the winters too
So much love and respect for these videos from Sri Lanka !! I think they should give some international recognition for he creator of them and show these videos in schools all over he world !
The best part is for students sake the admin don't put ad to deviate student mind , he is not greedy for money ..it's so helpful thanks admin u r the best
I do love this series. I would point out the eucalypt forests go from alpine through temperate, subtropical and tropical climate zones. Distribution based more on fire than other climate factors 😊 Though you do capture some of its uniqueness compared to other continents!
In other words, it's not true that forest fires are more common today compared to the past, it's only propaganda. You can literally search the data on google and find that fires have actually decreased the past 50-100 years and there's a small increase lately but within the averages
I agree, it's harder to replace old growth tropical forests, which when cut down, lose their ability to transpire water vapor, in tropical regions with a defined wet/dry season this can be bad as forests shrink and even after they are cut down it will take a very long time for the remaining forest to spread back, or might just continue declining depending on the size of the forest. Temperate forests on the other hand can spread north and south if Earth gets warmer, rainfall hardly changes and might even intensify, and the trees that grow in temperate regions do not take long to spread at all.
@@lrn_news9171 the recent increase in wildfire is due to politics interfering with the beneficial forestry practice of controlled burns to reduce undergrowth
Hydro primarily means wetness or is related to water, rather than coldness. The prefix “hydro-” comes from the Greek word hydor, meaning water, and it is commonly used in various contexts involving water and fluids. Biomes Associated with Hydro: Several biomes are characterized by their high moisture content or association with water: 1. Aquatic Biomes: • Freshwater Biomes: Includes lakes, rivers, ponds, and wetlands. These areas are rich in biodiversity and are characterized by low salt concentration. • Marine Biomes: Includes oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. These biomes have higher salt concentrations and support diverse ecosystems. 2. Wetlands: • Swamps: Wetlands dominated by woody plants. • Marshes: Wetlands dominated by herbaceous plants. • Bogs and Fens: Wetlands that accumulate peat and have specific plant communities. 3. Tropical Rainforests: • Characterized by high rainfall and humidity, tropical rainforests have a rich diversity of plant and animal life. 4. Temperate Rainforests: • Found in coastal areas, these biomes experience high levels of precipitation and have lush vegetation. 5. Floodplains: • Areas adjacent to rivers that are periodically inundated, providing rich habitats for various species. Conclusion: In summary, hydro relates to wetness rather than coldness, and it is associated with biomes that have abundant water, such as aquatic biomes, wetlands, and rainforests.
Yes I love this biome and I love that the Pacific Northwest where I live is full of it and I can get in a car and be in one of these in less than an hour. Really, I can walk and there's a small patch of it 10 minutes from me.
There wasn’t any mention of sycamore trees! I quite like sycamore trees. I was wondering if they are related to the maple trees, because the leaves look somewhat similar. The seeds are fun to play around with, since they spin around when dropped.
This is so beautiful thank you, I love trees, they are part of me. I live in the Pyrenees and enjoy them all. Very moving the way you let them present themselves... There is a place in Sierra Guara in Spain, with an oak tree that served several generations of people in that small village, every year they were allowed to cut only small amount of branches for the construction of their mostly stone houses, and the tree is still there, village abandoned. It's beautiful to see them for who they are. Thank you. 💖🌍
Thanks very much! Yes, I put a lot of love into this particular episode as this is my personal favourite biome (no surprises, since I'm from England). In researching this series I have seen many videos of the forested regions of Northern Spain, and I would now very much like to visit, once all the corona madness is over. It's not a type of landscape most people think of regarding Spain, so it surprises many.
As someone who grew up around the forests of northern europe, i can say there is no place that makes me feel at home and safe like the woods. I can just hear my germanic ancestors calling me when iam there.
Great Video, new subscriber here! Really informative, well researched and presented in a very entertaining way. One thing though, you forgot to mention the Eastern Mediterranean conifer - broadleaf forests and the southern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests (in the Levant region) on the map.
Thanks for the sub and your considered comments. Argh - this was such a massive subject to cover, there were always going to be content that didn't get included. I adapted the map from that of the LONS08 academic paper, which is VERY broad in terms of resolution. So many smaller areas of particular vegetation have been missed out. It would take a team of probably 20 or more people a year or so to produce a map that covers every biome in detail.
@@Geodiode here are some ideas I thought might be good for future videos Climate/Biomes of individual countries Climates/Biomes of the different US states and Canadian provinces Comparing Climate/Biomes similarities and differences between two countries or two cities National Parks Climates, Biomes fauna, flora Oceanography of the Major Oceans Limnology of the Largest Lakes or Longest Rivers
There are also deciduous forests in the high mountain areas in the Valdivian forests and in the less humid areas of the Magellanic forest in Chile and Argentina
Mexico's temperate forests are the extention of the northern pacific conifer and oak woodlands but much more diverse, in places like the gulf coast you can even see some deciduous endemic species of liquidambar, Maple and elms that resemble the northeastern American coastal forests. Definitely my favorite biome.
Such a splendid effort. I thank you for providing me with this worthwhile video. However so low are the subscribers. Why? How? We will refer to these videos in our websites.
I generally like your videos, although I would have preferred if you had a more detailed map for western Canada. @21:35 the picture does not show pine needles and cone(s).
I live in a mixed temperate forest in the mountains of Mexico, or we also call it Fog Forest and it's very different to the rest of the country but it's also my favorite region.
Thank you for your excellent video and the hard work that has gone into it. I will be sharing it with all my friends and family. The info was flowing a bit too fast in the end, from one region to another and from one country to another, but I will watch it again by slowing down the speed. Saved and subscribed.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, some sections are intended for the use of the pause button ;) for those that want more detail. But in general my videos are intended as a summary or introduction to the subject.
@@Geodiode I write on these subjects in Urdu, my language, for Urdu readers. It is a difficult task, as scientific terminology required is not always readily available in Urdu. But I plod on. I wrote a long rhymed and metered poem in Urdu nearly 20 years ago whose title translates as The Magic of Life, in which I had summarized the important environmental challenges facing the world now, and the importance of saving the Rain Forests of the world. I am trying to find someone who will help illustrate and embellish the pages of this book with hand drawings, and also some publisher who will publish it. Don't know where to turn for help. But thanks again for your excellent video which gave me so much new understanding.
about Italy, there is a bit of incorrectness; it s not a country with a mass of shrub only saved by the tiny inland covered by temperate biome; infact it s quite the reverse: at least 2/3 of the surface of Italy is the natural Soil for temperate forests; i see shrub only on the limb of coasts from Liguria down South in the West Coast, and from the Gargano penisula in to the south in the East coast.. With just almost the entire region of Puglia and Sicily (adding the more flat lands of Sardinia) only covered with shrub Infact more than 2/3 of Italy receive at least 800mm/year of rain Italy is very green of tall standard temperate plants.. More so than the tiny more greish shrubs.. Because it rains a lot (more than in France and many Cfb European oceanic places.. also more than in England) by looking at mm/year of course 2/3 of Italy are Csa so we experience a dry Summer.. That however doesnt allow the survival of shrubs outside the tiny limbs of coasts and the extreme Southern Regions (and not all of them.. Campania is very rainy, Calabria is montainous) Rain per year in Europe external-preview.redd.it/L7ukWX_9UUVOPFF5c8sjT5M_Rinarmrl6dwlHSGIXuc.jpg?auto=webp&s=1894c89c9c40f9769c065cce67b2f10b8c076b36 Here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ecoregions_in_Italy
@@Geodiode yes, i think that Csa is not sufficient to have scrubs Many Csa places have the so called "sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous forests" A biome that is however part of the Mediterranean macro biome I dont know why but, maybe is due to how much rain it receives on winter and all the Year round.. For example you have a mm/year of 500/600 for some Csa places like most of spain and much of California, but you have also the Csa of more than 1100 mm/year of rain on Liguria and the balkans
@@g.c.2916 yes, I think the key issue is that the Mediterranean climates (Csa/Csb/Dsa) are the only one where the dry season occurs during the hottest part of the year. This puts the greatest stress on plants due to peak evapotranspiration occurring where there is no new water. I think I hinted at this in my "Mediterranean" episode (th-cam.com/video/uk9Fyw2Okyw/w-d-xo.html). Do you live in Italy?
I love willow trees, living in Ontario Canada they are seen growing along rivers and in wet lowlands creating the ideal scenes of tranquility often used in film. There long gently waving leaves are wonderfuly relaxing and they provide a shady place to sit.
Hi Geodiode, i'm a New Zealander and am wondering why the Waikato region of the North island and the east coast of the South island weren't highlighted as temperate forests? As far as I was aware, the islands are nearly all temperate forest aside from the central Otago region, which is steppe, and of course the mountains.
Hi Max. I cannot comment directly since I have yet to visit your beautiful country, but the data that I have is that the areas you describe are a unique form of steppe (see my Grasslands episode). The reason is rain shadow in the South Island (the so-called "Canterbury effect"). Why it occurs on North Island, I'm not totally sure - poor soil?
The spring in the lowlands of the Czech Republic is probably the most magnificent season here - first, the forest floor gets covered in rich colors of early flowers. Then smaller trees like Cherries or Hawthorn cover the forests into white before the all-mighty oaks take over with a huge green canopy.
Beautiful as always...my favorite places in the world. Living here in Vancouver surrounded mostly by shockingly green tropical rainforests. The west coast on Vancouver Island is really something to behold The indigenous inhabitants of the Eastern NA woodlands had their own way of managing the forests that I find interesting to learn about-the “pristine” forests colonists came across would’ve been the overgrown remnants of the cataclysm visited upon the people who lived there. Of course we then showed upon and just destroyed said forests...
Southeast Australia has very few temperate forests than the map suggests. Its highlight on the map has intruded into the savannahs and open eucalypt woods to the west. The temperate forest zone is a small strip in the east really and it doesn't really get into the Sydney and Melbourne zone (they are mostly grassy woodlands).
Thanks, yes it's because the map is global and limited in resolution which can make narrow strips appear wider. You are correct about the Australian savanna
This is my biome and I know pretty much all about it, but I still liked this video.

GeoDiode Don’t worry about it ;) ! It’s a suggestion, a lot of confusion in this mid-latitude Cfa climate... Cfa is probably the most interesting climate of the Köppen climate classification.
Milan ≠ Florida
Good night ! ;)
GeoDiode It’s « Météo » Météo = Weather in French ;). My name is Cyprien
GeoDiode Yup !
Météo & Nature I live in the south of Brazil here the climate is very similar to Southeast of United States ( it’s like houston but the summer are Little cooler and the winters too
Nice...👍😎
Amazing video. Beautiful and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Interesting to see my native biome, even if not in person. i grew up and currently live in the most tropical of tropical rainforests
Oh God! how do you bring these heavens to us? its grandeur is beyond words! thanks for this..
So much love and respect for these videos from Sri Lanka !! I think they should give some international recognition for he creator of them and show these videos in schools all over he world !
@@Geodiode sure thing !
incredible quality in this video and channel, phenomenal work!
Excellent!
Thanks!
YAY the video is uploaded!!
GeoDiode
It definitely was!!! Very happy you posted it!!
Thank you for all these videos =)
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed them.
The best part is for students sake the admin don't put ad to deviate student mind , he is not greedy for money ..it's so helpful thanks admin u r the best
My birth home was a 1791 log cabin in upstate ny, on an old indian 'highway'. The woods imprinted on me. Its where i find peace.
The best type of landscape
I do love this series. I would point out the eucalypt forests go from alpine through temperate, subtropical and tropical climate zones. Distribution based more on fire than other climate factors 😊 Though you do capture some of its uniqueness compared to other continents!
Thanks for the tips!
That was nice.
Thanks!
Beautiful and very informative video. Just when I decided I should rerun it and write down all the names of the trees, that last part came along!
Thank you, yes, I kept the best until the end. AND THANK YOU FOR BECOMING A MEMBER! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My second favorite climate and visited 2 times: one with mild winters and one with cold winter ,anyway informative and this video is great
Such good information. 👏
Nice video, very informative 👍
Breaks me heart how many trees are burned down everyday especially now in California, Amazon , Australia, Congo etc 😢🌲🌳🌴
Acreage burned has decreased drastically the last few decades and forest cover in temperate regions have expanded
In other words, it's not true that forest fires are more common today compared to the past, it's only propaganda. You can literally search the data on google and find that fires have actually decreased the past 50-100 years and there's a small increase lately but within the averages
Tropical forests however are getting smaller but temperate forests are expanding
I agree, it's harder to replace old growth tropical forests, which when cut down, lose their ability to transpire water vapor, in tropical regions with a defined wet/dry season this can be bad as forests shrink and even after they are cut down it will take a very long time for the remaining forest to spread back, or might just continue declining depending on the size of the forest. Temperate forests on the other hand can spread north and south if Earth gets warmer, rainfall hardly changes and might even intensify, and the trees that grow in temperate regions do not take long to spread at all.
@@lrn_news9171 the recent increase in wildfire is due to politics interfering with the beneficial forestry practice of controlled burns to reduce undergrowth
I love trees.
thank you for making these you are helping my entire class
Welcome!
So you shared with the teacher, now they're using it in class?
Hydro primarily means wetness or is related to water, rather than coldness. The prefix “hydro-” comes from the Greek word hydor, meaning water, and it is commonly used in various contexts involving water and fluids.
Biomes Associated with Hydro:
Several biomes are characterized by their high moisture content or association with water:
1. Aquatic Biomes:
• Freshwater Biomes: Includes lakes, rivers, ponds, and wetlands. These areas are rich in biodiversity and are characterized by low salt concentration.
• Marine Biomes: Includes oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. These biomes have higher salt concentrations and support diverse ecosystems.
2. Wetlands:
• Swamps: Wetlands dominated by woody plants.
• Marshes: Wetlands dominated by herbaceous plants.
• Bogs and Fens: Wetlands that accumulate peat and have specific plant communities.
3. Tropical Rainforests:
• Characterized by high rainfall and humidity, tropical rainforests have a rich diversity of plant and animal life.
4. Temperate Rainforests:
• Found in coastal areas, these biomes experience high levels of precipitation and have lush vegetation.
5. Floodplains:
• Areas adjacent to rivers that are periodically inundated, providing rich habitats for various species.
Conclusion:
In summary, hydro relates to wetness rather than coldness, and it is associated with biomes that have abundant water, such as aquatic biomes, wetlands, and rainforests.
this a really good video
Yes I love this biome and I love that the Pacific Northwest where I live is full of it and I can get in a car and be in one of these in less than an hour. Really, I can walk and there's a small patch of it 10 minutes from me.
There wasn’t any mention of sycamore trees! I quite like sycamore trees. I was wondering if they are related to the maple trees, because the leaves look somewhat similar. The seeds are fun to play around with, since they spin around when dropped.
Maples are Sycamores!
Great video! I live close to the line between Taiga and temperate forests.

This is so beautiful thank you, I love trees, they are part of me. I live in the Pyrenees and enjoy them all. Very moving the way you let them present themselves... There is a place in Sierra Guara in Spain, with an oak tree that served several generations of people in that small village, every year they were allowed to cut only small amount of branches for the construction of their mostly stone houses, and the tree is still there, village abandoned. It's beautiful to see them for who they are. Thank you. 💖🌍
Thanks very much! Yes, I put a lot of love into this particular episode as this is my personal favourite biome (no surprises, since I'm from England). In researching this series I have seen many videos of the forested regions of Northern Spain, and I would now very much like to visit, once all the corona madness is over. It's not a type of landscape most people think of regarding Spain, so it surprises many.
As someone who grew up around the forests of northern europe, i can say there is no place that makes me feel at home and safe like the woods. I can just hear my germanic ancestors calling me when iam there.
Great Video, new subscriber here! Really informative, well researched and presented in a very entertaining way. One thing though, you forgot to mention the Eastern Mediterranean conifer - broadleaf forests and the southern Anatolian conifer and deciduous forests (in the Levant region) on the map.
Thanks for the sub and your considered comments. Argh - this was such a massive subject to cover, there were always going to be content that didn't get included. I adapted the map from that of the LONS08 academic paper, which is VERY broad in terms of resolution. So many smaller areas of particular vegetation have been missed out. It would take a team of probably 20 or more people a year or so to produce a map that covers every biome in detail.
great work keep them coming
@@Geodiode here are some ideas I thought might be good for future videos Climate/Biomes of individual countries
Climates/Biomes of the different US states and Canadian provinces
Comparing Climate/Biomes similarities and differences between two countries or two cities
National Parks Climates, Biomes fauna, flora
Oceanography of the Major Oceans
Limnology of the Largest Lakes or Longest Rivers
Beautiful
awesome! wached from Brazil.
😊😇thank you soo much
welcome!
great video i have full respect for your videos bechause you help my class so much!!!!
Rock on!
Your videos are a very useful resource for my Geography class. Thank you
Thanks! Don't forget that there are additional resources at geodiode.com including coursework questions!
There are also deciduous forests in the high mountain areas in the Valdivian forests and in the less humid areas of the Magellanic forest in Chile and Argentina
Nice lecture I love it
This is really helpful thxs
Love your videos 😍😍 you deserve a much bigger following! Which world biomes map do you use as reference? Or have you just created your own? :)
Thank you! I adapted the map from the LONS08 paper, which you can find in the link in the description.
Super
Oha türk
Mexico's temperate forests are the extention of the northern pacific conifer and oak woodlands but much more diverse, in places like the gulf coast you can even see some deciduous endemic species of liquidambar, Maple and elms that resemble the northeastern American coastal forests. Definitely my favorite biome.
Thanks for the info. Sadly I could not find any footage of Mexico's temperate upland forests to show in the video.
You should make a video for the subtropical forest so we can further understand this biome cause its like a one size doesn’t fit all scenario.
Such a splendid effort. I thank you for providing me with this worthwhile video.
However so low are the subscribers. Why? How?
We will refer to these videos in our websites.
this will help me for my project
I generally like your videos, although I would have preferred if you had a more detailed map for western Canada. @21:35 the picture does not show pine needles and cone(s).
I live in a mixed temperate forest in the mountains of Mexico, or we also call it Fog Forest and it's very different to the rest of the country but it's also my favorite region.
Thank you for your excellent video and the hard work that has gone into it. I will be sharing it with all my friends and family. The info was flowing a bit too fast in the end, from one region to another and from one country to another, but I will watch it again by slowing down the speed. Saved and subscribed.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, some sections are intended for the use of the pause button ;) for those that want more detail. But in general my videos are intended as a summary or introduction to the subject.
@@Geodiode I write on these subjects in Urdu, my language, for Urdu readers. It is a difficult task, as scientific terminology required is not always readily available in Urdu. But I plod on. I wrote a long rhymed and metered poem in Urdu nearly 20 years ago whose title translates as The Magic of Life, in which I had summarized the important environmental challenges facing the world now, and the importance of saving the Rain Forests of the world. I am trying to find someone who will help illustrate and embellish the pages of this book with hand drawings, and also some publisher who will publish it. Don't know where to turn for help. But thanks again for your excellent video which gave me so much new understanding.
about Italy, there is a bit of incorrectness; it s not a country with a mass of shrub only saved by the tiny inland covered by temperate biome; infact it s quite the reverse: at least 2/3 of the surface of Italy is the natural Soil for temperate forests; i see shrub only on the limb of coasts from Liguria down South in the West Coast, and from the Gargano penisula in to the south in the East coast.. With just almost the entire region of Puglia and Sicily (adding the more flat lands of Sardinia) only covered with shrub
Infact more than 2/3 of Italy receive at least 800mm/year of rain
Italy is very green of tall standard temperate plants.. More so than the tiny more greish shrubs.. Because it rains a lot (more than in France and many Cfb European oceanic places.. also more than in England) by looking at mm/year of course 2/3 of Italy are Csa so we experience a dry Summer.. That however doesnt allow the survival of shrubs outside the tiny limbs of coasts and the extreme Southern Regions (and not all of them.. Campania is very rainy, Calabria is montainous)
Rain per year in Europe

Here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ecoregions_in_Italy
@@Geodiode yes, i think that Csa is not sufficient to have scrubs
Many Csa places have the so called "sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous forests"
A biome that is however part of the Mediterranean macro biome
I dont know why but, maybe is due to how much rain it receives on winter and all the Year round.. For example you have a mm/year of 500/600 for some Csa places like most of spain and much of California, but you have also the Csa of more than 1100 mm/year of rain on Liguria and the balkans
@@g.c.2916 yes, I think the key issue is that the Mediterranean climates (Csa/Csb/Dsa) are the only one where the dry season occurs during the hottest part of the year. This puts the greatest stress on plants due to peak evapotranspiration occurring where there is no new water. I think I hinted at this in my "Mediterranean" episode (th-cam.com/video/uk9Fyw2Okyw/w-d-xo.html).
Do you live in Italy?
@@benranson8424 yes, i m from Florence
www.worldwildlife.org/biomes/mediterranean-forests-woodlands-and-scrubs
yes its my favorite since I live in the zone. I like to see the change of seasons with lots of leaves
any Golden Spruce in other pats of the world.? We had on on Hadaii Gwaii in BC Canada.
wish I could double thumbs up this video!
You just did it with a comment ;) - thank you!
I love willow trees, living in Ontario Canada they are seen growing along rivers and in wet lowlands creating the ideal scenes of tranquility often used in film. There long gently waving leaves are wonderfuly relaxing and they provide a shady place to sit.
Do you record all of the clips in these videos?
Hi Geodiode, i'm a New Zealander and am wondering why the Waikato region of the North island and the east coast of the South island weren't highlighted as temperate forests? As far as I was aware, the islands are nearly all temperate forest aside from the central Otago region, which is steppe, and of course the mountains.
Hi Max. I cannot comment directly since I have yet to visit your beautiful country, but the data that I have is that the areas you describe are a unique form of steppe (see my Grasslands episode). The reason is rain shadow in the South Island (the so-called "Canterbury effect"). Why it occurs on North Island, I'm not totally sure - poor soil?
Thanks these are helping soooo much 👍🏾🎉🎉
The spring in the lowlands of the Czech Republic is probably the most magnificent season here - first, the forest floor gets covered in rich colors of early flowers. Then smaller trees like Cherries or Hawthorn cover the forests into white before the all-mighty oaks take over with a huge green canopy.
Thank you for doing this i am getting my info for school
3:28 😍😍😍
Beautiful as always...my favorite places in the world. Living here in Vancouver surrounded mostly by shockingly green tropical rainforests. The west coast on Vancouver Island is really something to behold
The indigenous inhabitants of the Eastern NA woodlands had their own way of managing the forests that I find interesting to learn about-the “pristine” forests colonists came across would’ve been the overgrown remnants of the cataclysm visited upon the people who lived there. Of course we then showed upon and just destroyed said forests...
I think you mean temperate rainforests.
No mention of the chestnut? Very important tree.
Southeast Australia has very few temperate forests than the map suggests. Its highlight on the map has intruded into the savannahs and open eucalypt woods to the west. The temperate forest zone is a small strip in the east really and it doesn't really get into the Sydney and Melbourne zone (they are mostly grassy woodlands).
Thanks, yes it's because the map is global and limited in resolution which can make narrow strips appear wider. You are correct about the Australian savanna
This is my biome and I know pretty much all about it, but I still liked this video.
does anyone know why eucalyptus didn't make the leap to New Zealand and southern beech didn't jump to Australia ? a link to an academic source is fine.
