- In March 2013, photographer Rich Reid (richreid.photoshelter.com/) joined fireworkers as they conducted a controlled burn at Georgia's Moody Forest Preserve. He left his cameras rolling for nearly two months to capture the stunning regrowth of the longleaf pine habitat.

Forest on fire: oh no
Forest after fire: anyway
This is just proof that nature will always win
Yes, we can blow ourselves up with every nuclear bomb ever made and nature would still survive
@@joegastly6166 Yep eventually
No. This is proof that the Lord will always win
Our ecology teacher showed us this and explained why forests burn and that forests burning is completely natural. people just have been putting forest fires out for so long that now the fire reaches the tree branches and kills animals that lives in it.
Yep, it’s an example of how humans have messed with nature and stopped the nature course of things. But if you look you can see native people understood this and they would start fires so the old dead wood can be burnt away and the forest comes back stronger. Why you think USA is still such a beautiful place after all those years, until now when it’s being destroyed
Forest fires and heatwaves have killed off 75% insect populations in Europe. Without pollinators among insects, the world can face famine within 4 years.
Forest fires are not "natural." They are either deliberate or accidental. Unscrupled farmers use fire to clear lands.
@@pinklady7184 Is lightning natural?
@Pink Lady you're incorrect. Forrest fires do naturally occur. One way they can start naturally is in natural compost piles of leaves. Some leaves even lend themselves to fires. This is why compost bins are rotated to allow the decomposition as it can smolder and eventually combust if left unturned.
Fire actualy help these kind of forests
can I use this in a piece of multimedia art about the dichotomy of destruction and creation in nature? It's for my final in a course as a composition major
Emmett, you can try contacting photographer Rich Reid at: richreid.photoshelter.com/index
Woa Emmett
Did you ever get permission?😮
two months for 27 seconds of footage
Yep, over 4,000 images all in 27 seconds. I have many different versions of this time-lapse on different lengths and dissolve.
Beautiful but WHYYYYSOOOOSHOORTTTTTTTTT 😭😭
The goal was a 30 second clip but I have many other versions.
Because you are gay
Exactlyyy
Hmm this was 7 years ago so they should have 7 years of timelapse footage where is this footage?
Cause it's hard to shoot ಥ‿ಥ
We are so focused with conserving nature and the environment that we forget to conserve each other and civilization as a whole
This is like in Avatar when the forest burned down but Aang found an acorn showing that even though the forest is gone it'll grow anew
Oh wow!
Love your video! Great job! I hope I can get as good as you someday.
This has given me insight how a fire breathing dragon 🐉 can help with forest
Tiny trees for most species of pine with which I'm familiar - presume this Preserve is in the early stages of regeneration? Fires are similarly necessary for the foothills surrounding the Central Valley of California - where the nutlets of the digger pines (Pinus sabiniana) actually NEED the heat of the fires to crack their thick shells!
You only need rain.
Oh, wait...
Life will always flourish, even in the radioactive swamps full of acid.
Does secondary succession typically happen this quickly after a fire (within 2 months)?
This was a four month time lapse from March to June. Yes the recovery period is quick in a moist area.
LBM_WORLD_088 is my favorite song, the title has so much meaning
Wow
That happened in our frontyard, wee spray the kill grass starting on like april then today may 2023, the rain impact the soil and the grass is regrowing
kewl
Team trees
My native ancestors have done prescribed burning for thousands of year's better hunting better land
How did the camera survive the fire?
I used a custom built pelican case which survived the initial blast. The straps melted and shrunk but did not break.
Hope for australia
Latvia has the most weed burner enthusiasts
The Native Americans do actually.
@@danniemoore97 NO, In Latvia everyone is born with that burning gene even today.
First wild fires in Latvia are registered before even the snow melts
I dont get it all that happened is you burned som grass then...new grass grew in its place next season
Hope for the Amazon.
@No Theory nooooo
People are building there things on top of the soil which prevents anything to grow so it’s the human activity that is causing things to not regrow
So i will do my part and set fire to the forest ! hahaha
That looks more like a pine plantation than a forest.
Required for growth 😢🌞
movies after earth was bombarded by 1 million nukes and meteors:
Fire cannot restore loss of insects necessary for pollination of plants. Insects are needed for soil life. They areate soil.
how about all the insects, birds, mammals... fungi and microbiota lost in a fire?
Nothing. Part of life
Why i didn't see night during these huge period
what is this primary sucession or secondary?
Lol i see you are trying get answers too.
Gl0w.Z yup
are you from the deep heart of texas?
*cough* secondary *cough*
Doggo Boi thanks
the lorax approves with the largest army in existance they out number the stars 3.04 trillion trees
Fires are proven to be not very good, you compust away all the good stuff. So you acutally lose organic matter in long run=less fertail soil. Yes after fire you get nice green grass growing back, but what you lose in process of fire is far more valuable than this short fast growing period. Cutting and mulching is new way, proven a lot more effective. There is a lot of videos of that, people who have done both and now they swear by cut and mulch. Hopefully this helps anybody who is considering recovering land.
That's why extremely burnt forests take so long to heal. The less severe the burning of the soil is, the faster it heals. And also why some forests improve in ten years while others could take decades or even hundreds of years.
Unless you're a Ponderosa or a Manzanita, which *requires* fire to produce the next generation. Some plants need a little fire or they'll go extinct. Note that I said a little fire. A little. I am not promoting megafires.
Kevin are you German? Estonian?
@@tas5622 japanese
@@kevinpeik1209 I apologize, I thought you were American-European. That is fascinating since Peik is a Germanic surname.
Ms.Robert’s anyone?
This doesn't always work because of obvious problems .
More fun facts about the Amazon:
1. CNN has reported that the rate of Deforestation is the highest it’s ever been at approximately 9,800km^2 per YEAR.
2. The Amazon is approximately 5 million km^2.
3. In one year only 0.18% of the Amazon was de-forested.
4. With this metric It would take over 500 years of dedicated hard work to completely eliminate the Amazon Rainforest.
5. Don’t worry about oxygen. The plant life under water cannot burn down.
Note also:
The Amazon is the main climatic buffer in the American continent. It isn't a rainforest because it rains, it rains there because the forest evaporates water enough to make a tropical climate and a vast river basin there. Notice that it's at the near latitude of Africa's savannas and Sahara desert.
So, let's burn and log the largest tropical forest in the world. Let's forget the unacountable loss in flora, fauna and the livelihood of the natives. What do we get? Agricultural land, lots of. Space for mining. Let's say you plant soy and corn (monocultures thrive in wastelands), and mine the hell of whatever you find. In a few years, there is no more rain. The river and its basin dries out. The whole pattern of the continental weather changes, soon followed by the planet's. Massive human migration from everywhere going to wherever the situation it's better (animals and plants can't do that).
Now, the place where everyone travel could not be USA. The unforeseeable alteration in the weather could make USA and Europe's weather so extremely dry/rainy/hot that their inhabitants would join the flood of climate refugees. And that's just the beginning. New diseases produced by close contact between animals trying to survive in cities and malnourished humans. New pandemics. Poverty everywhere. Political unrest, riots and revolutions.
Our planet has gone through several mass extinctions caused by situations less important than the sudden loss of a major rainforest.
It seems you haven't seen farther away than 4 years onwards, which seems a typical approach in right-winger American politics, as long as there are immediate profits involved.
There is an interesting paleontology channel called PBS Eons here in TH-cam. Watching it could prove beneficial, besides of educating you in the ancient history of our world and its lifeforms, it could twist the algorithm towards something else than the Rules of Acquisition.
Good luck.

Anyone else here cause of a paper
please do not touch to the forest, let it refresh. do not build fucking houses everywhere
Whos here from science class in BHS?
Looks like your classmates are nowhere to be found
I’m not getting the adopting a fireman? They get lifetime job security, pensions, health benefits and only have to work once in a while. To the rest of us, that would be a dream job. Time for firemen to support/adopt cashiers, salesman, starving artists, landscapers, cleaning people, etc.
Um, I mean those dont pose any risk though
But don't worry, nature dies more at the same time I revived nature is too wild
I thought fire never restores the forest
Because these climate change activists try to convince people otherwise in their made-up political views
There are seeds evolved which only germinate once exposed to fire.
