I can personally attest to raising goats and cattle together works well as the goats prefer leafy greens like weeds that cattle often won't eat, and that allows the grass that the cattle do eat to grow better cause they aren't shaded out by weeds.
The amount of care and effort put into each of these videos blows me away every time. Channels like these are what make TH-cam a valuable tool for both learning and entertainment. Thank you.
I like how you guys still reply to comments despite hitting the one million subscribers mark. Most channels lose that sense of "direct connection" since the community gets so large it turns into a swarm of strangers, and there are so many comments that even if the creator comments, it gets buried. I wonder if there's some sort of ecological metaphor in there somewhere? Like in your video about the relationship between scarcity and diversity both in economics and ecology?
I might have one: if there are too many species or biodiversity some might get buried into certain classes. And eventually just a large group where it takes longer to find a certain species from a category.
They do speak quite clearly but the American accent isn't always easy on the ear to understand, especially with the inherent sloppy approach to the T sound which often comes out as D (e.g. it sounds like biodiversidy). However, that aside, I completely agree.
My understanding from this is that biodiversity makes a much stronger ecosystem, but it does _not_ help a singular product. For instance, if you're trying to grow apples, having diverse trees among your apple grove won't make the apple trees also flourish more than they would as a grove of pure apple trees. A diverse set of insects will pollinate better (as mentioned), but that makes each apple tree grow more fruit rather than growing more apple trees. *So biodiversity is not better for any one species because they are still competing with each other.* They are just coexisting with other species who compete for other things.
The Memes are strong with the Pandas. I don't think you can convince anyone not to want to throw millions at them. They're just so godamm, cute, fluffy, chubby, and even got the whole Ying-Yang symbolism. They're just awesome. We would have way more money for these things if we had basic needs for all people and world peace already. That's really what I would throw billions at if I had them.
It would be great if pandas went extinct- it'd get rid of a species that takes up way too much of the conservation budget and get people to care more about threatened species since pandas are so beloved.
Tvbedsofa Kai I think the point they were making is that if we were TRULY pursuing personal gains, we would preserve nature, because preservation can be economical.
Tvbedsofa Kai Nah, they try to give people who doesn't give a s*** about environment and biodiversity a good reason to care for nature (by saying it's more profitable if we take care of it)
Oliver Payne if your government can make more money from simple shit like having diverse species of trees they could reduce taxes or reinvest the money gained and as a result, the economy will benefit
Wouldn't more timber for sell mean less cost per timber which would reduce the total cost, not just add up? I don't know much about economics so kinda help me here...
Yes, technically, but the total income would still rise, because the rate a piece of lumber would drop by would be compensated by the fact that you have more wood. Like how selling one marble for $2,- gets you less than selling two for $1,50 each.
Yes, I get that. But since we don't know the decrease of price I can make a statement as follows: 1) You have 1000 cubic meters of timber and you sell each for 2000$. For that deal you'll end up with 2,000,000$. 2) You have 1350 (35% increase) cubic meters of timber and you sell each for 1450$ (27.5% decrease). You now ended up with "only" 1,957,500$. Either that or you'll be in a surplus
I assume the decrease in the value of the wood would be pretty small relative to the % increase in amount of wood. Id be very surprised if selling more wood would make you less money... Imagine a trade deal where you offered more and got offered less in return, it just doesn't happen.
Prince McKok They would never let you pay less for more. Besides, keep in mind that the price isn't just decided by what you produce, but also what the rest of the world produces. If the rest of the world produces more, and you don't, your prices will drop as well. You need to keep up, that's competition. If you were the only one to make more wood, the prices wouldn't vary much (unless you have a monopoly, but then you decide the prices yourself anyway.)
Its sad that the environment is given the least attention out of all the problems. Its the thing we all contribute daily to ruin and one of the root causes for all other problems -hunger, thirst, poverty and which can cause the end of the Quaternary and human civilization. Care about our environment more people!
If the businesses would profit from growing diverse amount of trees: it would already be done. It is well known that farms cooperate with bee farms for strategic placement of these mildly complementary products.
Patrickmen11 Not everywhere, some tree farms rely on private property where it is necessary to replant and regrow the trees(Canada etc.). Others buy licenses to cut down trees, Amazona. When the property is not owned there is no incentive to replant. As to this recent study, it is well known that biodiversity is better for eco-systems. The issue with planting lots of different trees on farms is how they fit in these cars and the quality of the wood. Wood cutter use blades and vehicles for a specific size, and trees are rarely left to fully grow before cut. If you would have to mix all these different sorts of trees into a vehicle it would potentially fill up cart fast as well cause issues with the cutting of them. - and one more thing, manufactures often only want 1 sort of tree, and therefor this would lead to nothing but more obstacles for the vehicles cutting down these trees. If you think these ideas are so smart how come you don't engage in the market. You could sell trees 5% cheaper and make more 30% profits according to his paper -- which is so low iq and pathetic as I've proven above, well at least the conclusion formulated in this movie.
Yes, some people have "forgotten" what the prefix "eco" means. BTW, it means "house" (or place of dwelling) and has nothing at all to do with bio-anything, so attaching bio ("life") to the word does have meaning.
An interesting thought is whether or not logging companies care to lose the specialization of cutting down a certain kind of tree. Sure, the total value of the forest is greater with biodiversity, but perhaps it's more economical for the company if there were only one kind of tree and therefore only one method to cut down that kind of tree. I, of course, think biodiversity is great, but it's always fun to look from different perspectives.
Fleas/Ticks are important for forming social bonds in a primitive primate society before implementation of chemical pesticides. "You Scratch my back, I'll Scratch your back" metaphor takes on a whole new meaning.
i think we shud get rid of the economy becuz it doesnt really do much, but since i think biodiversity is important maybe we should just let it be. no reason to kill off another species just cuz its not very important
Mizzou is the university that, until recently, had a professor (Melissa Click) who called for some muscle to get rid of a student reporter. They fired her, but the Social Justice Warrior movement is still very active there. SJWs like to call for limiting free speech, just because it might offend someone. These idiots really are the laughing stock of our society. Unfortunately, they have almost completely taken over academia.
The University of Minnesota is in no way like Mizzou... It's one of the nation's leading research universities... the same cannot be said for schools like mizzou...
Hi, I'm very interested about agriculture and about finding a new way to respect nature while harvesting it. In few years, we will be 3 billions more people, whereas we're absolutely unable to feed the actual population. So we have to do something! I am in a ingineer school in France, I really want to be part of this movement. So I'd like to know from your knowledges (anyone is invited to answer) what I could do, maybe there is an university who learn stuff about it ? I am a bit worried about my studies, I don't know what to do in life but I think more and more about working in searchs to find a new way of living on Earth!
I want to do some conservation work; however, I think most of the conservation efforts will soon be futile. It would be really helpful to have them in a compact form which we simply store in a freezer of some kind, that way they will easily survive our inevitable wwiii.
Wow such papers are really having a ton of authors these days. Too bad it's paywalled... But what I get from the video, those are some nice results which hopefully will bring some sizable corporations to actually properly invest into biodiversity.
The EU _might_ move forward with a right for EU citizens to see publicly funded research. I hope that goes through and I hope other regions follow suite.
we should have a balance biodiversityto sustain and to have a healthy environment,this will lead to a better community and a greater economy that we needed to survive and to complete for the increasing demand in money in our society.
Right. We used the forest paper as an example because we were excited that our writer Peter had done the research and published it (today!) in Science: science.sciencemag.org/content/354/6309/aaf8957
I know of similar plots in Iowa where biomass is measured from single up to 16 species per plot. The 30% increase in biomass is on par with their research, for these very same reasons.
If it was just a publication in just any journal, I'd agree with you. But the journal Science is not just any journal. It is one of the big ones that professors are constantly competing to publish in, and many doctoral students will never manage to grace the pages of.
Sleight of hand in the video. It goes from talking about conservation to biodiversity. It makes an excellent economic argument for biodiversity, but this argument does not translate into conservation. All it does is say that there is a real monetary benefit for businesses to plant different kinds of trees and keep their resources diverse. This is not an argument for conservation, which requires legal limits.
Buen video, si esto aplica para hongos, habría que ver que no sea mayor las esporas que emanan que el polen de las plantas, para evitar colapsos de biomas, en el pasado de la tierra cuando no había abundantes árboles y plantas, debieron los hongos hacer ese trabajo pero no me extrañaría que colapsara el ecosistema, a futuro usar esa técnica de hongos pero modificados genética mente para terraformar, sería cruel usarlos para luego de cumplir su trabajo mueran colapsando solos para luego poner árboles en control de la naturaleza y los biomas en otros planetas rocosos.
I would think it common sense that it is in our best interest to preserve as much nature as possible. I mean.. of course that's going to be a more productive route right?
The deathless face of the unborn mind. Not necessarily, certain forms of conservation are very wasteful of time/resources. Pandas, for example, are pretty useless for their ecosystems but we dump hundreds of millions into helping them. Where as bees in North America are facing massive threats and relatively little goes to helping them.
wait... look at the production team.. there three siblings. and peter, the co-writer of the paper, is the third one from the top. THAT PAPER WAS WRITTEN BY THE THIRD REICH
I want to care about bee life but as someone with sekosphobia the phobia of bees wasps and hornets I find it really hard to not enjoy news about lower bee populations My phobia is dreadful it ruins summer late spring and early autumn (no wonder i like October so much) it's so bad I can barely go outside by myself in summer unless I'm wearing long sleeves and trousers-which is so hot. I often mistake hover flys as wasps in my panic as well I'll also add twenty minutes on to a walk just because I saw a few bees in a particular location the day before. All the running and quick get ups from tables burns a lot of calories so it's not all a loss.
I guess this is some new kind of ecology that wasn't yet thaught in biology class 10 years ago. I learned that healthy eco-systems have low bio-diversitiy. If you want bio-diversity, find a swamp or polluted lake.
Wait wait wait... One of the writers on MinuteEarth is a big enough name to get last-authorship rights on a paper published in Science? Holy crap. Y'know, there's "disclosing" and then there's "bragging"...
1:44 Yeah, why value something with money. It's not like money is the most important thing to everyone and makes the world go around. Why not value it instead with flimsy and subjective values like beauty and ethics? #CapitalismIsEvilForSomeReason
Not promoting monocultures, but in no way is a bio-diverse crop more economical from a processing perspective than a monoculture, simple practices such as cutting and tailoring nutrients and pesticides are made a lot harder when the crop is diverse.
any change you try to make to 'make the world a better place' will have unforeseen consequences. Here's an example - a bat's main food source is mosquitoes. The population of bats would decrease, sending ripples throughout the food web.
HistoricaHungarica Yep. Less transfer of disease is a positive for humans. I say the ends would justify the means. Unless mosquitoes, the Bubonic Plague, and the Great Potato Famine is Mother Nature's way of controlling the human population.
karatesoccerbaseball So naive thoughts. BTW the "less transfer of disease" is actually false. As far as i can remember only 0.1% of the known diseases that can effect the human race are transferred via mosquitoes. Granted, most of those are very gruesome or irritating but if you want to eliminate the biggest threat... then you must kill all humans. Those pests carry most of the lethal or viral shit mankind knows.
In the short term, yes, but you have to pay a lot of money in artificial fertilizer and/or rotate crops to capture the natural effects of non-monoculture.
I study in conservation and frankly... Large amount of people don't give a ... I mean Don't care. Which makes me depressed. Anyway... Love your video MinuteEarth, continue your amazing work.
that's a question i was wondering about for a while, but your answer clearly are not really about biodiversity in itself. monoculture is bad, abusing pesticides is bad, no one does that but filtering rivers would be bad, i guess. what i take from that is that as long as the environment is kind of healthy (not too much pollution and not to much pesticides) we could level the entire amazon rainforest and plant various crops that are not necessarily from the area and everything would be just fine. which i'm pretty sure is not your point. so that doesn't answer my question : why would i care about this or that obscure endangered specie ?
i suspect the economics is a bit more complicated than whats presented here, but its true diversity does allow one to hedge there bets. a very big factor in farming. if everyone grows only a few crops and there is a prob all the eggs in the basket smash and we have nothing for lunch
I can personally attest to raising goats and cattle together works well as the goats prefer leafy greens like weeds that cattle often won't eat, and that allows the grass that the cattle do eat to grow better cause they aren't shaded out by weeds.
Daniel Mallett Cool.
However if goats do decide to munch some grass, they rip out the roots, too, meaning the grass won't grow back for the lawn-mower cows
Yes
@@galaxythebat no, that's sheep. Sheep pull, goats cut
That's why cows hate it when you get their goat... 🤔

See money does grow on trees!
and bees, and seas
But we arent sure about fleas
Your Master +
but money grows on the lack of parasites and parasites ALSO have a harder time in more diverse regions because their prey is spread out more.
That joke was dead before it began.
My god, I never realize the vid descriptions have definitions of certain vocabularies.
My understanding from this is that biodiversity makes a much stronger ecosystem, but it does _not_ help a singular product. For instance, if you're trying to grow apples, having diverse trees among your apple grove won't make the apple trees also flourish more than they would as a grove of pure apple trees.

We would have way more money for these things if we had basic needs for all people and world peace already. That's really what I would throw billions at if I had them.
Every species matters we just have to work now to stop f ing this world up. The question remains, can we really live in a world with no pandas left?
but they're the face of the WWF. We need them!
It would be great if pandas went extinct- it'd get rid of a species that takes up way too much of the conservation budget and get people to care more about threatened species since pandas are so beloved.

The jump from 'make more money' to 'better for the economy' you haven't explained at all.

Minecraft Villagers are poor cause there's less than 10 types of trees
1:41 gary ???!!!!
1:44 Yeah, why value something with money. It's not like money is the most important thing to everyone and makes the world go around. Why not value it instead with flimsy and subjective values like beauty and ethics? #CapitalismIsEvilForSomeReason
Not promoting monocultures, but in no way is a bio-diverse crop more economical from a processing perspective than a monoculture, simple practices such as cutting and tailoring nutrients and pesticides are made a lot harder when the crop is diverse.
so green makes green?
nice video i enjoyed your channel. may i ask how did you make the animation? is it powerpoint or powtoons or any software
I'm still in favor of the eradication of Mosquitos. I don't care what the consequences are, but I'm sure the positives out weigh the negatives.
Are you sure about the last part?
any change you try to make to 'make the world a better place' will have unforeseen consequences. Here's an example - a bat's main food source is mosquitoes. The population of bats would decrease, sending ripples throughout the food web.
HistoricaHungarica Yep. Less transfer of disease is a positive for humans. I say the ends would justify the means. Unless mosquitoes, the Bubonic Plague, and the Great Potato Famine is Mother Nature's way of controlling the human population.
karatesoccerbaseball So naive thoughts.
BTW the "less transfer of disease" is actually false. As far as i can remember only 0.1% of the known diseases that can effect the human race are transferred via mosquitoes. Granted, most of those are very gruesome or irritating but if you want to eliminate the biggest threat... then you must kill all humans. Those pests carry most of the lethal or viral shit mankind knows.
but isnt Malaria one of if not the leading cause of human death throughout history(though those numbers have gone down in recent years).
Arn't GMO"s the opposite of biodiversity and yet the most economically efficient in terms of food production and output?
Sir_Clovis As they briefly mentioned in the video, sometimes making diverse crops is more efficient than genetic modification.
In the short term, yes, but you have to pay a lot of money in artificial fertilizer and/or rotate crops to capture the natural effects of non-monoculture.
Crop rotate different GMO plants or grow multiple species of GMO plants on your farm.
Boom! GMO + Benefits of biodiversity.
Diamonds are not green 0:20
everyone-
me- Was I the only one who saw that minecraft emerald?
0:20 _green minecraft diamond on the left , people. green minecraft diamond._
it's a DOUBLE UPLOAD
did anyone see Gary
I study in conservation and frankly... Large amount of people don't give a ... I mean Don't care. Which makes me depressed. Anyway...
Love your video MinuteEarth, continue your amazing work.
So... competition is bad for the market? I like the sound of that
that's a question i was wondering about for a while, but your answer clearly are not really about biodiversity in itself. monoculture is bad, abusing pesticides is bad, no one does that but filtering rivers would be bad, i guess.
what i take from that is that as long as the environment is kind of healthy (not too much pollution and not to much pesticides) we could level the entire amazon rainforest and plant various crops that are not necessarily from the area and everything would be just fine. which i'm pretty sure is not your point.
so that doesn't answer my question : why would i care about this or that obscure endangered specie ?
Pokemon, Super Mario, minecraft, and The Legend of Zelda currency? Hell yeah
Money grows on trees? Not for long with the introduction of polymer notes
Is there anyone who argues against bio diverse forest ? I can't imagine what that argument might be.
1:21 Someone's been beekeeping in Minecraft...

I've never heard it before, so it must be retro.
I cry every time. It makes me realize what youtube comments have become
Krisztián Szirtes lol yeah
I love how we think of nature in terms of money...
1:42 Gary the snail from SpongeBob SquarePants :P
i suspect the economics is a bit more complicated than whats presented here, but its true diversity does allow one to hedge there bets. a very big factor in farming. if everyone grows only a few crops and there is a prob all the eggs in the basket smash and we have nothing for lunch
