Healthy Soils Build Healthy Ecosystems

2002. Healthy Soils are the foundation of healthy and productive forest ecosystems. Gary Schmitt, a soil scientist with the USDA Forest Service, presents an overview of forest soils. Topics include: the ingredients of healthy soils, the composition and formation of soils, soil as habitat for many species, and the effects forest management have on soil and forest health.

Wonderful video

[@sidneyeaston6927]

The video is great and informative. Forestry has come a long way in the past few years and has stopped clearing whole areas and burning what they can not sell. They now realise that what they used to consider waste when replanting is a required natural resource that keeps the soil alive and helps the whole system recover a lot faster when replanted. As with all harvests from nature giving back what the system requires to sustain its self is as important as the crop harvested. Dead soil is not a viable option any where on this planet of abundant life.

Some interesting information, in particular, log decomposition. However, the production quality is from the early 80's.

Very interesting presentation but the completely unnecessary music is annoying - for crying out load stop adding the noise pollution .

Great content, but the background music is annoying. A lecture does not need background music. Imagine going to a university lecture while music is playing in the background. Please stop!
