    These biology and ecology type videos were very interesting. I'm not sure if you ever get around to reading the comments on these old videos Brady, but if a channel similar to Sixty Symbols or Numberphile would be possible for the subject of biology, I think it could be very successful, and of course interesting.

    I just finished the entire tree series. Was so good. Can we expand this to more different regional trees? He talks about, russian tree wines, Italian trees for archery bow making, Canadian Maples, and turkish trees. As an American, with the extent of a public education, I cant tell you how great all of your channels are. I feel like im learning a lot. Thank you.

    The Ash was such a useful tree, with its straight tall trunk. Good for bows and boards alike and it was the original tree in Nordic folklore. Yggdrasil was an ash.

    I work for the Conservation in the USA, we are fighting Emerald Ash Bore. It is a little greed bug that makes a hole in the Ash tree and kills it. Normally this bug only travels 1 mile every 8 years but people keep moving firewood around and it is making it spread faster.

    i understand trees aren't as interesting as bosons but i've started growing some plants from seed two years ago and i'm totally hooked. it's not expensive and unlike the particle physics it's something all of us can do. the video you made with markus are fantastic. please, please, please make more of them. for everyone else that finds this boring, i know, i agree, i've been that guy 3 years back. get some seeds and do your best to grow something from them. it's a wonderful thing.

    contd- and yes, I'd say he spends a(*understatement alert*) *huge* amount of time doing all these (prob too much lol), travelling, editing, reading and replying in comments - the whole 9 yards lol. The vids are used in school classrooms around the world, and he has a pretty big following of us loyal fans - more than deserved. Try subscribing if u havent already, and THUMBS UP if u like em!!! And yes he is super proactive in bringing these to us, and getting into cool science facilities like LHC.

  • @benrr101
    @benrr101 11 років тому +2

    Over in the midwest US, we've got the emerald ash borer that's been reducing the ash tree population in the US. Maybe the ash tree isn't the fittest tree species?

  • @MultiPaulinator

    When he talked about the natural processes occurring in woodlands, it reminded me of something I learned a little about a while ago and it would be great to hear Mr. Eichhorn here discuss it. I've heard that -- at least here in the states -- artificial forest fires are, of course, fought to the death, but natural forest fires are only fought on fronts that are endangering a residential area. The rest is allowed to clear the deadwood before it can allow for a truly catastrophic forest fire.

  • @QualityControla
    @QualityControla 11 років тому

    One of those situations where humans should and are intervening is the New Zealand Kauri Dieback, which may be similar to what you guys have over there. We spray hiking boots to stop the spread and have even blocked off tracks to the public to stop the spores spreading to far

  • @Anwhaz

  • @GWAYGWAY1
    @GWAYGWAY1 10 місяців тому

    I have. Had it for 9 years, lost 90% of all my ash trees, Dover so it was the imported trees bringing in . The biggest problem is the root rot without notice the damn things crash down. I am left with Hazel, Sweet chestnut, and Elms.

  • @silverbirch4444art
    @silverbirch4444art 11 років тому +1

    I hope it doesnt spread at all. There are so many Ash trees everywhere. I am keeping an eye out on my Ash trees in my area and thankfully so far nothing.
    As you say, I have seen a fair amount Elm trees coming back. As this was a tree that I could never distinguish easily, as there were so few. But now I have seen them and seen them multiplying :)

  • @CONCERTMANchicago
    @CONCERTMANchicago 11 років тому

    I'm an amateur Arborist and Dendrologist from Chicagoland. The Fraxinus Ash species started on the American continent and spread to other continents during "Geopoetry" events. Famous landscaper Jens Jensen and architect Frank Lloyd Wright used Ash as an ingredient for their "Prairie style movement". Every Lloyd Frank house in Oak Pk & Jensen Pk around Chicago has 100-130 y.o. Ash trees planted by them surviving today until EAB. I am preserving 2-200 yo Green Ash & several Jensen Ash too.

    no I see that, but what I meant is, what his position to be making all of these videos, meeting with all of these professors. I assumed it was his job but he may just be proactive in which case he must spend a massive amount of time on this.

    just to say Markus if its hughly affecting the young saplings of ash trees then doesnt that mean that the tree species will cease to exist and thus prevent ash from making a come back that of which you mention in your video clip

    It's a fungus. Would aggressive treatment with copper soap be effective? In the neighborhood where I grew up near Sacramento there were an abundance of Modesto Ash trees. These were planted in the fifties and provided wonderful shade during the hot summers common here. Today the a majority of these trees have been killed or crippled by mistletoe.

    @abcvideoyoutuization 11 років тому

    I highly recommend that any tree with this problem be cut, well below the infection.
    If a tree is cut back to the ground then the roots will regrow your tree. You should have a healthy tree that would regrown to full size. Other wise, if you wait, the problem will reach the roots and you have lost the trees.

    so Markus i hope that i have the right person arent you kind of missing the point that its going to have a hugh effect on the wildlife in this country and the timber industry due to the fact that is a tree that largly populates the uk it's alright saying its going from country to country but the other countries may have other species of tree that may be more common than ash and so will appear to them to be of less importance in their country than the uk.
