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.

In her new book, Jessica J. Lee examines how humans have moved plants around the globe and how our migrations are intertwined with theirs. Guest host Arielle Duhaime-Ross talked with Lee about Dispersals and what we can learn from plants' histories.

amazing
Mesmerizing masters of flight by echolocation, the Bat.
One of the most interesting things about being able to study both the beginning and the end of the universe with so much detail is how close they feel in spite of how inconceivably distant they truly are.
Is this from a podcast or episode? Is there any link to the original?

@@scifri Awesome thanks! Would be nice if shorts always included links to original, though it seems youtube is intent on hiding them.
'Shake your Silk-Maker' is wild 💀
Isnt penguins also swims similarly?
pretty sure yeah but more obviously there's also turtles
Like fractals I think🤔
I love his work. 😮 So fascinating. He's a doggone genius.
:D
❤
"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?
So you are going to tread on them to save them
What fascinating research involving true teamwork. Good luck to the dedicated professionals involved.
i also forgot to mention that 12mph is actually a T Rex's comfortable walking speed.
“It belongs in a museum!”
Watched many Documentarys on Dr Schmidt documentation of a painful boomslang bite that ended up taking Dr Schmidt life
Galileo was wiser than all the people who watched the eclipse and got their eyes burned.
Wiser than them individually, and maybe even all of them combined 😅
Venom, not poison.
Ed Yong is magnificent. Fantastic guest. Thank you!
I love your videos theirs super I have visit the asu meteorite museum an have donated a piece 🎉🎉
It was absolutely amazing!!!!
Is that Professor Ramsey?
🪸pull up🫧
Made me smile after a long time
It was so cool
Wow thanks I will definitely try this!
Who cares ....i dont.....big deal...not interested....😝😝😝😝😝🤪🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😛😛😛😛
thats nothing new and we dont need computers for this..tribals back in the days have made the best brainwave music and shamans has the best beats and waves for music waves
La estética sumada a un cerebro matemático hizo este asombro!!!, gracias por este placer!
Climate change is a hoax and biochar can be easily made by anybody in their backyard in a couple of hours
And you will never see the moon, only a dark circle move across the suns. Why can't we see the moon in the sky before or after the eclipse?
The wrinkles in the filter don't matter?
Do I need filter goggles to look at picture
Thank you for sharing!
Here's a climate change solution: Don't listen to statements based on simulations made by scientists in constant need to justify funding...
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.
Does its carbon capturing capacity outweigh the carbon produced from making it?
Literally what the amazon has already in it and what tree's do on their own. So maybe stop cutting down tree's to make this crap?
Climate cahnge is not real.... Its like mental health...
Want to save the planet, REDUCE PERSONAL CONSUMPTION BY 10%. if u buy 10 cups of coffee a week, buy 9 this week. If everyone makes an effort, the planet be ok
"Charcoal-like substance." I mean, yeah. Charcoal is indeed like charcoal.
What if the climate changed into a better climate? Who says it changes worse, its impossible to predict
… you’re joking right?
@@bradleyarcher9840 Its a good question. the climate has always changed. Some millennia were more hospitable to human life and some millennia were less. If you don't like thinking for yourself and let other people do it for you I am forced to think you only believe what you believe because your mind is susceptible to cult-like following of things the media puts on us
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
20 years ago it was global cooling and then hole in ozone layer and then acid rain. I wonder what fear tactic is next?
So you make coal to reduce the effect of burning coal. Big brain.
