Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed this tour of this often overlooked, but surprisingly biodiverse landscape. Please let me know of your experiences of living in the scrub or visiting it!
As someone who has lived in Greece his whole life, this biome is so familiar to me it's almost nostalgic. Half of those shots look like places I've walked through and the other half like places I've driven past
Absolutely! I spent two weeks touring the Greek mainland in the 90s, and honestly can't think of any place that has a more archetypical scrub than your homeland! And I loved it!
A well presented introduction to this fascinating biome. I’m a resident of San Diego County, California, which has tremendous biodiversity amidst a variety of different shrubland types. During a wet winter some areas can appear almost lush. By the end of the annual summer drought the landscape takes on a somewhat barren and harsh look. Unfortunately little remains of undisturbed coastal chaparral.
GeoDiode - Yes, there are relatively intact wild landscapes in areas of steep terrain in SD but even those are increasingly experiencing the impacts of human activity such as the intrusion of invasive, non-native flora and more frequent than natural fires, both of which are partially the result of each other. ~ The chaparral immediately along the SD coast is a unique mix of species / varieties differing from the inland shrublands. There are only a couple of very small areas of this community in extant, one of which is on the San Diego Botanical Garden property. The north western Baja, Mexico coast still has fairly large areas of coastal chaparral in decent shape but it can’t be long before increasing development takes it’s toll there too.
Whoa I'm from state Andhra Pradesh, India mentioned in the video. Yes almost entire Deccan region is full of Thorny plants, palm trees etc. With many Rocky hills, scorching heat, drought prone lands especially in and around where I live. I always wondered what type of landscape does my surroundings belong to, although I kinda knew it falls under semi arid region. Thanks to you now I'm certain that I'm a scrublander :-D Probably not my favorite type of biome cause I love places with greenery and lush Forest, but I do recognize it's uniqueness. Just yesterday I was searching for videos explaining Savannah, rainforests and came across your channel. I must say you did an awesome job and i really love your biome series. It explains just enough for curious fellas like me. You got my sub 👍 looking forward to more videos.
Thanks very much Likhita, and welcome to the channel! Good to hear from someone who lives within the subtropical scrub - you are the first by the way! It tends to get overshadowed by the more famous Mediterranean version.
I honestly love your work. As an ecology student in South Africa I would love to see you do a whole video on the South African Fynbos. It definitely deserves it!
Thanks very much! Well I realise that would be your dream, but it would be too specialised a subject for the audience I am trying to maintain. Has anyone else done one?

Fantastic, very high quality information... i live in the edge of 4 biomes, subtropical shrub, subtropical savanna, temperate scrub and temperate oak forest... and each one has their own charm.
This channel is amazing, you deserve way more views. It's sad that the youtube algorithm doesn't compensate you for all the hard work, but please keep those videos coming!!
Thank you Damian! We're about to cross the major threshold of 100k subs, but it has taken almost 5 years of work, while other channels get there sooner. I think the algorithm rewards (very) regular publishing of videos, which punishes my kind of content, since it takes so long to prepare each presentation, especially when I have to jostle this work in with my other work and family commitments.
I've enjoyed this episode a lot! Thanks for preparing such beautiful and consistent work Ben! It is a very complex biome, having many factors of influence, including fire. I was really surprised about the extent biodiversity of South African Shrublands, with lots of endemic floristic species in such little and isolated area.
Another excellent video! I really appreciate how you showcased plants from similar regions around the world, I'm sure it took a lot of time to research. I'm always very excited to see when one of your videos pops up in my feed.
I absolutely love the soundtracks and music on here, it really fits the mood and it's so catchy and nice to hear along with the awesome visuals. The way everything is organized makes it have a distinct vibe to it that make it more unique and memorable, thanks!
Goodness me! I am from NorCal and now in Adelaide. This reminds me of southern California. Adelaide is like mirror of southern California. So interesting and mind opening!
@@Geodiode absolutely! Yes, I totally see more similarities with Socal which is Csa especially after visiting Innes national Park yesterday! Love it! Appreciate your work!
Yay for fynbos family of plants and rooibos tea! I've wondered before if you transplanted the pioneer species and built up a relatively small fynbos family in south texas if you could grow rooibos. We love teas and tisanes, so it's interesting to figure out places that you can grow camellia sinensis (tea), rooibos, chamomile, ginger, turmeric, etc etc with as much overlap as possible. Nice additions in this video

The scrublands of California extend much further north than the video show. Then slowly become mixed with forests with the drier southern exposures being scrub and the northern exposures being forests.
Yep, grew up in Southern California, this is very accurate. There's trees but only what people have planted. Also the palms that line the streets of LA aren't native to California either.
To be more precise, all but one of the species of palms planted there aren't native to California at all. The one most planted species is native, but not to the coastal region. The California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera) is native to hotter and drier inland areas of SoCal, such as Palm Springs.
@@tonynunes4965 likely because somehow that species happened to be chosen at first and then people just went with what was available in cultivation. Any other details would be interesting, but I’m not aware of any
Yes, you noticed well, the movie scenes were shot in the Caatinga! But actually Bacurau is a fictional town but the movie tells that it is in the west of the state of Pernambuco, and that is very close to where I live. So if Bacurau really existed, I'd be pretty close to there 😁
Haha yes, I wasn't being serious about you living near Bacurau as I established it was a fictional place. I think that the movie highlighted to a lot of people that there is a dry part of Brazil. Most in Europe or the USA just think Brazil is all about rainforest or other wet regions.
Hi ! I was born in the south of France, in the middle of the "garrigue", the local scrubland. I always loved this faboulus landscape, its tortured trees, its numerous animals, its scortching temperatures in summer, its incredible perfumes. All my childhood !...
It is worth noting that the "scrub zone" in southern Australia (near Adelaide and Esperance in southwest) is still mostly filled with medium sized eucalyptus trees. Australia very barely has a true scrubland like those found in Chile and southern California. And when there are scrubs, the land is basically a desert (like in the centre of AUS).
Yes, the "malee". As usual, Australia always ends up being the exception both in flora and fauna. I used to live there in the 1970s... It's like a different world compared to the rest of the continents
Geo, is there something that can extend the summers into the shoulder seasons without making mid-summer too hot, while simultaneously making the winter cold, probably making the winter same as in Moscow?
Wow. Thank you. As a scrublander & historian, I just wondered how these biomes came up with world-changing ideas even beyond the fertile river civilizations. . . (You know who I'm talking about.).
So Mediterranean climate has more biodiversity than the Humid subtropical?? I thought humid subtropical is just a better version of the Mediterranean climate for plants. Cause it has the same temperature range, just with summer rainfall that helps plants survive at the hottest time of the year.
I live in the Suburban Connecticut biome, a mix of Savannah grass and weeds,, temperate Forrest both deciduous and evergreen trees, scrubland all crisscrossed by stretches and areas of concrete and asphalt. I've seen plenty of deer, black bears, wild turkeys, golden eagles, hummingbirds, coyotes, rabbits, frogs, crows, bats, skunks, raccoons, squirrels, mice, chipmunk, foxes, groundhogs, woodchuck, and more. Owls, hawks, ducks....
Thanks for the local perspective. The natural biome in your region is actually temperate forest. But you can get scrub (or heath as we call it in England) where the soil is poor
Man, I love these videos. I'm from Sweden but I lived in Santa Barbara for a few years so this episode is the first one that's somewhat familiar, although I adore rain forests above all else.
Thanks - that's quite a change from SE to SB! But I used to visit SB on occasion when I lived near LA - it really is the most perfect climate there on the coast.
I love scrub land, this type of environment together with tropical rain forests and coastal hot wetlands are the places where I grew up as well as lived in extensively in my travels around the world. I prefer them to evergreen forests and savanna equally, love spending weeks alone out in the bush with no one in sight.
Very nice and well done videos! I would like you to make a video about the biome I live in, wich it's called the tropical dry forest, it's a type of decidous forest wich is dry most of the year, and summer is the rainy season
Interestingly, not all regions with a Mediterranean climate have this biome, such as the northwest of Portugal which, despite being Csb, has a short dry season and is very rainy during the rest of the year, so it has a biome more typical of Cfb regions.
@@Geodiode According to Wikipedia, Porto's average yearly precipitation is 1237 mm (around the same as NYC, which is wet all year round), while the dry season only lasts for three months (June, July and August) and even those are not extremely dry (39.9 mm, 20.4 mm and 32.9 mm, respectively).
Chaco Region (wich is for the most part a low forest, only decimated by the human deforestation in recent decades) labeled as a "shrubland" doesn't seem to be that precise...The same applies to Andhra Pradesh
Hi m.debaser! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Making a classification of the Earth's biomes has been a challenge for scientists for decades, due to the complexity of all the plants species that live in our planet. In this series we're using only the LONS08 classification system to show the Earth's biomes. In regard to Chaco and Andhra Pradesh, a great part of them receive few precipitation throughout the year leading those parts to a dry forests, with many shrubs dominating those areas, also the biomes are influenced by the type of soil, the evapotranspiration rates, the altitude, latitude and temperature. It's not as simple as it seems. Hope this short explanation can help you. And thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Actually there is a lot of forests in Mediterranean climate cause as you know . Mediterranean regions are mountaines . Some endemic trees like Cedar and Pine forests exist
Stock footage from the CFA in reference to fires in Adelaide. I know, I'm picking. Victoria and South Australia have an arbitrary border that makes no geological sence.
first: thanks a lot for your work!! :-) essential to keep nature present for all those alienated city dwellers occupied with their narrow, destructive lives! second: I read that the mediterranean was densly wooded, and that it was the ancient ship industry and even the fire wood consumption of the roman thermal baths that turned them into scrub lands... so wouldn't these historical human activities be worth mentioning (as you mentioned that the savannahs of africa may be a result of human caused burning...) because they foreshadow what's coming... :-(
GeoDiode That makes sense! It’s probably getting the same effect as the other well known desert islands like Aruba and Caracao that also have that dry look. I really appreciate the reply!
But what do you have to say about Israel? It sits in the subtropics, but the north has a Mediterranean climate. So is it has a subtropical scrubland, or a temperate scrubland?
Do you think the climate of Cairo is Mediterranean? Considering the climate of Redding California is considered Mediterranean while summers are still hotter than Cairo.
There are peculiar climatic conditions that produce a wannabe Mediterranean climate there - just look on the Beck Koppen map and you'll see Csa climate (wet winters dry summers). Very odd.
In most of the videos i have kept outliers or places that don't really fit the Koppen intention for these clarifications out of the videos to avoid confusion. Such places are actually where the Koppen Climate system breaks down somewhat. It's not a perfect system, but it's simplicity enables most people to understand 90% of the world's climate areas. The remaining 10% can only be explained by more complex systems like Trewartha
How the living hell do you expect the viewers of this video to comprehend the knowledge you are presenting while you are talking at 20 words per second. You literally have to pause the video every five seconds to understand what the hell the narrator said about a single tree. This is a great visual but if I was watching this without pausing I will not attain any knowledge from this. This video makes my life seem like a utter hell, it makes me want to drop out of high school; and I am in my final few months. Teachers if you view this comment and are happening to give this assignment to students, do not; you are about to make the thirty minutes of this child a living hell. Instead just give them pages of a textbook to read, because that much more knowledge they would gain than viewing this video.

Do you think the climate of Cairo is Mediterranean? Considering the climate of Redding California is considered Mediterranean while summers are still hotter than Cairo.
Nope, hot desert. Also, Redding is pretty far inland, so I believe it falls outside of the Mediterranean climate zone and into another hot desert.
