Nice, within the first 2 seconds of the video, I could recognize the PNW. I like your statement about human's desire to compartmentalize nature into categories while nature is 'wiggly' and doesn't always fit into a rigid classification.
Yep, humans are some pretty funny creatures huh? Always in our endless quest to 'understand' and 'organize' things when sometimes its best left to its own...
*NICE explanation* ! I had to slow him down to 0.9x, before I could comfortably listen to him speak lol. So conifers, by keeping their needle leaves around, still can absorb the sun's rays, year round. *By not shedding so fast and other stuff* , they spend way less energy, and so unlike their big leave cousins who live about for 100y, *conifers get to live 500 to 800y* . *Downside* their wood is soft wood for a long time, because they take their time to grow, their bands, year on year are not as tightly packed as their big leavy cousins. Humans like the hard wood for ballistas in war, and to build multi-storey buildings lol. Thanks! 👍👍
Woah, the arbutus holding onto their leaves was a cool fact - never noticed that, but now that you mention it, totally makes sense! Gulf Islands are never 'bare', always full of Arbutus with leaves... dang.
Whew, so stoked to hear you're enjoying it! Feel free to check out my Patreon page & help support me in making more videos like this, I'd really appreciate it! 🤙
4:56 Please SLOW DOWN when you're speaking because if you have a hearing impairment, it becomes impossible to understand what you're saying at the end when you speed way up. All I wanted was the name of 1 of the 2 trees you were talking about at the end that don't fit into the "box that mankind created." CC makes no sense and the transcript is just as bad. Even my app works like live closed captions and turns what is being said into captions on my phone has the single word I want wrong unless there's really a tree called "our beauty tree." This is the entire sentence " For example, OUR BEAUTY TREE, they're known as Broad leaf evergreen because have leaves similar to deciduous trees but they hold on to them year round." All I wanted was the name of that tree and I don't think it's called out beauty tree. Not even sure if the next one is correct, "On the other end of the spectrum you have LARCHEN which is technically a conifer but they lose their needles every fall, " CC and transcript are just complete nonsense video, for example "fantastichen countries are Today with custom antioxidant paraffin Singapore men is intended for the wizard to make important if you have permission to use for travel business to hunt for determining that content has been to understand us live at home or is a Vietnamese free for the weather the English corner to use near the before any more feel the person you Peter Paul and animal print What is your major products very sad..." You get the idea I lost 80% of my hearing in an instant. It is a result of a traumatic brain injury and I have hearing aids but it can't change tempo, pitch/tone, or annunciation all things that determine what I am able to understand now. It's extremely frustrating and people with perfect or normal hearing will never understand until they start losing their hearing, I know I never did and now I don't get aggravated when someone asks me to repeat something more than once & I've become very aware of how I speak. I wish everyone could do the same but it will never happen 5:19
Mmmm... I can't recall, its a vintage ID book all about trees from the 50's - I'll try to find it out for you if I can find that book somewhere amongst my stack of them!
Great Video just one question, in the video you mentioned how old-growth forests are typically coniferous, and while that may be true out west back East our old-growth forests (or what remains of them) are/were mainly dominated by Oaks, Maples, Birch, Beech, Chestnut, & a variety of other deciduous species why would you say that is the case. The main reason I’ve heard to explain the discrepancy between the West’s Conifer Forests and the East’s Broadleaf Forests is due to the fact that the East is wet and has good soil allowing for deciduous trees to thrive and dominate the ecosystem whereas out west the dryer climate restricts deciduous trees and in turn benefiting hardier conifers which take advantage of the rockier terrain and dryer climate. As for the wet and rainy PNW from what I’ve heard the main reason the PNW is conifer dominated is due to it’s small amount of soil which is typically rocky and thus doesn’t store water well, thus restricting the growth of broadleafs and causing conifers to reign supreme

True, but I think this ability to 'recognize patterns' also gives humans a false sense of superiority or understanding over nature, when in reality, we still don't know the root of why or how most things even operate. It's one thing to recognize patterns, an entirely other thing to actually understand, and I think if we exercised more humility in trying to 'organize' nature it would go a long way socially, spiritually, economically, etc etc.
@@NerdyAboutNature Yeah depends on how seriously you take the organization. I personally just see it as a useful optional way to structure things, not the ultimate end truth.
Yeah, I tried, then the music sounds weird and he sounds drunk. A pity though, i liked the approach with music and the video contained a lot of interesting information. I suppose it`s a matter of taste, but if he just slowed down a little bit, it would have been the perfect video.
The best part of these is your sheer, unadulterated joy! It is contagious!
Haha, it’s authentic! Glad you’re enjoying this stuff!

I had to watch this for school and it was surprisingly fun.
Amazing! Stoked you had a good time!
Nice work man. I appreciate the quick pace. Love the videos, love the beautiful, great outdoors.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy 'em and that you can keep up with the fast pace!
i love your videos
Cool, knew the main distinction but all these intracracies are fascinating! Keep em coming Ross!
Only scratching the surface man, there's so much to talk about! Stoked you're stoked!

Boom, you've got it!
So beautiful---
thank you

Oh yeah, Arbutus trees are some of my favorites of all time. Nature sure is wiggly!
Hah helping that spruce's new growth. You earn my like and future attention.
Really interesting information. Great video!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I m in search of such explanation 👍
where did you film this?

Love the interstitial music. That's a great approach.
Great info! Although we struggled a bit to keep up with the fast pace of talking 🙃
Thank you! Great job! Perfect... am learning about nature from you.

You're good 👍
Thanks for the nice explanation
Of course! 🙏

Fantastic information but you talk too fast! My students had a difficult time understanding you. I can tell you're passionate about nature!
Mmm yeah, I get that a lot! Thats the beauty of TH-cam - feel free to rewind all you want!
You can adjust audio (0.75 fast)

I learned more in this episode than I did in 50 videos about Bansai
Ahh awesome, stoked you enjoyed it!
It's not boxes, it's just that humans are very good at spotting patterns. And the more intelligent the better we are at spotting these patterns.
True, but I think this ability to 'recognize patterns' also gives humans a false sense of superiority or understanding over nature, when in reality, we still don't know the root of why or how most things even operate. It's one thing to recognize patterns, an entirely other thing to actually understand, and I think if we exercised more humility in trying to 'organize' nature it would go a long way socially, spiritually, economically, etc etc.

Hahah, wow. Touche`
Now I can pass my test
Awesome, glad ya learned something!
Those having issues with the speed of talking can watch the video at 0.75x speed.
Yeah, I tried, then the music sounds weird and he sounds drunk.

"It's really quite out of this world"
yep, you'll only find them outside of this world
Good info! Enjoyed the video, but slow your speech pattern just slightly.......
mmmmm keep up!
nice video...
Delicious 😋
How at
Are you
Yo who else in engineering class and has to watch this
Music is terrabile

Ah jeez dood IDK about living next to coniferous trees I'm more of a deciduous tree guy myself
Definitely needs a lot of trees, good for oxygen.
Mmm oxygen is goooooood...
Great🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Thanks!
Conifers are better!! 🌲
There carniviors tree
Deciduous Tree's, are the best, i dont understand why people don't plant those kinds of trees, instead of more conifer's! SMH🌳 🐄. 🌲🧟🌲
Great video, but slow down!!!
Noted!
Good content, but talking too fast, and running words together...... Please slow down and give us a chance to keep up.....
You're actually able to watch these videos at 75% and even half speed here on TH-cam if you want to, it's all in the playback controller!
Terribile
Bad
👎👎👎👎👎👎
