Where Soil Grows Above The Trees
Canopy soil builds up over decades in the nooks and crannies of old trees. How does it get there?
You might be used to the feeling of Earth under your feet, but did you know that there’s soil high above your head? Way up in the treetops, where ferns, mosses, flowers, and even trees grow on top of the forest. A new study in Geoderma describes the factors that contribute to how canopy soil is formed.

    "Trying to give it a proper identification." My mind went straight to thinking, welll that's ominous. What happens if even these people can sometimes only "try" to identify illegal plant stuffs? Do they have a back room of unidentified, potentially anomalous plant things?

  • @jamesbelshan8839
    @jamesbelshan8839 27 днів тому

    From what I’ve seen, it is a type of charcoal. Charcoal made at lower temps still has some volatiles/tars/oils in it, while high-temp process burns those off and leaves just pure carbon. Charcoal with those tars break down and release their carbon much sooner than the pure carbon, decades vs hundreds of years. Also opening the pores with steam or other method, and inoculating the char (populating it with bacteria, nutrients, etc) are steps that are beyond basic charcoal.

      The climate is changing, we have higher temperatures across the globe, on average last year we was 1.5degrees higher on average, we have increased forest fires in Canada and Australia, we have the UK with temperature up to 40degrees, we have air pollution at an all time high. Please explain to me what’s better? I’m not a climate scientist so I don’t make bold statements, but I do listen to what they have to say and look at what’s going on around me. I suggest you not get on your high horse when someone challenges you as it makes you look petty and ignorant. I enjoy having warmer summers in the UK but I don’t like the bigger picture and the road we’re heading down.

      @@bradleyarcher9840 Im not on a high horse. Science that cannot have questions asked about it is not science. I'm not even saying climate change going out of control isn't real, I'm questioning it which is what smart people do. You're on the proverbial high horse you speak of though because you think people are supposed to believe everything they are told automatically. Furthermore, you used some anecdotal evidence about you think there Australia was pretty hot and you think there are more fires. Well if we're going to use anecdotal evidence like you, the last 3 winters I experienced were really cold and the summers were much more mild recently than ones when I was younger. Lastly climate change AKA all the weather and geology in the entire world has so many variables involved that no accurate model can portray it accurately. For example you cannot guess how the ocean currents would affect the world weather if we assume warming changes the current. You just got told something by either a school teacher or by a news channel and you auto-assume the future of the earth. I actually do science, not climate science, but I completely understand scientific reasoning and QUESTIONING
