      ​@jordanbrown3816 It could be a possibility that many do want change, but because of the complexity of the systems that are interconnected, they are not sure where to start or feel research must be done to avoid mistakenly making a change that is worse. I believe change is happening all around us, especially with new technology and our ability to rapidly share information. We just haven't quite begun to see these changes on a larger scale yet. Have hope that we will get there and you just focus on what you can do. Every little bit helps.

      And how humans are interconnected. Not everyone realises that to be good to each other means that a better community is better for their own children and their children after that. Harming others could mean you deplete the possibilities for the next generations that will create that community, which they will be part of when they are old and when their grandchildren grow up.

      Thinking about this for even a few seconds, you would see that this is highly misleading. The only trees that could benefit from this effect would be a) ones that have close access to salmon streams, which would be a very small percentage of the forest. b) the ones that benefit from waste from animals that eat the salmon, which would be a measurable but quite small effect. And since the rest of the forest, away from the salmon, grows MASSIVELY, they obviously don't 'need salmon'. Advocate for nature but stay completely open and honest. Don't overpromise or use gimmicks to gain support. The issue is too important.

    • @curtisowen3233

      ​@@A_A_J.no actually, I mean the fecal matter is part of it too, but bears and other animals drag the salmon carcasses well away from the streams and rivers and eat them elsewhere miles from the waterways. Much of it will be eaten, but a significant amount is left over to rot on the forest floor, stashed, torn apart with large peices being spread around. And were not talking about an insignificant amount. Before the over fishing of the late 1800s and the fish wheels that in a matter of a few decades depleted the salmon populations of the Columbia by 95% and before the very healthy bear cougar wolf bobcat and coyote populations were wiped out in the same period, we're talking about million and millions of pounds of fish being dragged into the forests yearly which fertilized and added to the food web in many different ways. Before the hundreds of dams in oregon alone these salmon ended up everywhere, and then its not only the salmon but the insects fungal and anaerobic bacterial colonies that feed on the salmon carcasses that fertilize the trees or fertilize companion or symbiotic plants of the forest. Far up into the foothills of the cascade range to deep within the high planes of eastern Oregon to every stream and creek throughout the Willamette Valley and coast range. This was not an insignificant amount of fertilizer, and was certainly not confined to the riverside. The sad fact is that the vast majority of NW forests are a depleted and undiverse shadow of what they once were. Hell the entire coast range is barely more than a monocrop of Douglas fir these days that hardly host a tithe of the wildlife they once did. Walk through oregon forests 200 years ago and you'd have dozens of species of trees per acre. Now you're lucky to have as many as many as ten. Even then most of them will be doug fir, a handful of different cedar, and in some older forests that aren't clear cut every 20 years you'll get some hemlock.
      Anyway, no, it wasn't just a small amount of extra nutrients confined to the riverside

    • @Venaticc
      @Venaticc 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      ​@@A_A_J. The trees could be living on their own supplies. The rest of the forest gets it's salmon nutruets slowly, probably by trees growing, dying, and decaying. The old components of the tree are then spread further into the trees nearby. If anything this is how it probably would work. And if a scientist claims that they can trace the nutrients they are probably important ones like iodine.

      ​@@Venaticcyeah, scientists say things that are true but sometimes they omit the nuance.
      It's more factible that the rest of the forest gets those nutrients from old dried up lakes from millions of years ago than from a couple of streams that cover a minimal area.
      Does it affect the trees? Sure. Is it important? Meh.

    They introduced a pack of wolves back into Yellowstone Park and it had a knock on effect. The wolves hunted the deer who were eating young trees, with the numbers of the deer dropping due to predation. The trees grew and this brought back beavers who built dams that brought back various water birds etc etc

    That’s the reason so many of the small hydroelectric dams constructed in the early 20th century were so harmful. They not only flooded a lot of land, they prevented fish spawning runs.
    They’re being removed now, and the ecology is improving.

      I didn't realize there were any “small” hydroelectric damns. I’m serious, what is being called small? There are smaller versions of hydro-power, but bigger than one would think of as anything built for residential useage!
      These turbines would allow for natural spawning and other circle of life activities without obstruction and rarely if ever death caused by the turbines. They can be set up near communities they would be helping, there would be no damning of the water so they would allow for natural function of the river they are set up along or even large creeks. They would be installed next to the river, along the bank and would divert a small amount of water for just a moment from the river and then dumping it right back in. The water would have an open pathway allowing any fish also diverted to continue along with the river waters. Also there would be zero need for creating damns and/or reservoirs to jeep these turbines flowing. I think every hydroelectric plant should be completely removed, no destruction left to poison or damn up the waters, and replaced with the smaller, but healthier alternative, which is just a simple rethinking of how the originals operate!!!😊

      No, you don't remove the dam, you put in fish ladders... you know there are these creatures called "beavers" who literally transformed 90% of all the land we have had throughout human existence. They create dams, and its probably how early humans figured out how to do it.
      Were beavers have lived, life has flourished. This is nature at its finest. Up in canada, there is a beaver dam so large, that you can see it from space.

      @@DSTRAZ98 how is it disingenuous to compare the two ? Beaver Dams don't have fish ladders at all. They make them on the smallest of streams, and yet life has survived millions of years of their activities.
      Human dams may be more rigid, but they allow a definite opportunity for fish to bypass them with fish ladders.
      I grew up in a state (I'll let you experts figure out which one) that has 12 of the major hydro electric dams in the US and directly powers a majority of the west coast... the salmon have survived and have no problem with the fish ladders. Life actually thrives because these dams retain water during drought years.
      As far as this video goes... again, i grew up were this guy is talking about, i would catch salmon with my bare hands as a little kid.... we have mountains and valleys... how the hell does the salmon fertilize the trees and forest 500 feet higher than the river below ??? They grow just fine above as they do below. There definitely is a cycle when the salmon spawn, but when you get 50 salmon dieing and rotting in the same area of the river because that's where they were born, it sometimes affects other life in that area in a negative way. Not all animals eat rotting meat, and other fish don't necessarily want to breath that water and leave the area.
