  • In March 2013, photographer Rich Reid (richreid.photoshelter.com/) joined fireworkers as they conducted a controlled burn at Georgia's Moody Forest Preserve. He left his cameras rolling for nearly two months to capture the stunning regrowth of the longleaf pine habitat.

    Our ecology teacher showed us this and explained why forests burn and that forests burning is completely natural. people just have been putting forest fires out for so long that now the fire reaches the tree branches and kills animals that lives in it.

      Yep, it’s an example of how humans have messed with nature and stopped the nature course of things. But if you look you can see native people understood this and they would start fires so the old dead wood can be burnt away and the forest comes back stronger. Why you think USA is still such a beautiful place after all those years, until now when it’s being destroyed

      @Pink Lady you're incorrect. Forrest fires do naturally occur. One way they can start naturally is in natural compost piles of leaves. Some leaves even lend themselves to fires. This is why compost bins are rotated to allow the decomposition as it can smolder and eventually combust if left unturned.

    Tiny trees for most species of pine with which I'm familiar - presume this Preserve is in the early stages of regeneration? Fires are similarly necessary for the foothills surrounding the Central Valley of California - where the nutlets of the digger pines (Pinus sabiniana) actually NEED the heat of the fires to crack their thick shells!

    Fires are proven to be not very good, you compust away all the good stuff. So you acutally lose organic matter in long run=less fertail soil. Yes after fire you get nice green grass growing back, but what you lose in process of fire is far more valuable than this short fast growing period. Cutting and mulching is new way, proven a lot more effective. There is a lot of videos of that, people who have done both and now they swear by cut and mulch. Hopefully this helps anybody who is considering recovering land.

      That's why extremely burnt forests take so long to heal. The less severe the burning of the soil is, the faster it heals. And also why some forests improve in ten years while others could take decades or even hundreds of years.

      Unless you're a Ponderosa or a Manzanita, which *requires* fire to produce the next generation. Some plants need a little fire or they'll go extinct. Note that I said a little fire. A little. I am not promoting megafires.

    More fun facts about the Amazon:
    1. CNN has reported that the rate of Deforestation is the highest it’s ever been at approximately 9,800km^2 per YEAR.
    2. The Amazon is approximately 5 million km^2.
    3. In one year only 0.18% of the Amazon was de-forested.
    4. With this metric It would take over 500 years of dedicated hard work to completely eliminate the Amazon Rainforest.
    5. Don’t worry about oxygen. The plant life under water cannot burn down.

    • @MariaMartinez-researcher
      @MariaMartinez-researcher 3 роки тому +4

      Note also:
      The Amazon is the main climatic buffer in the American continent. It isn't a rainforest because it rains, it rains there because the forest evaporates water enough to make a tropical climate and a vast river basin there. Notice that it's at the near latitude of Africa's savannas and Sahara desert.
      So, let's burn and log the largest tropical forest in the world. Let's forget the unacountable loss in flora, fauna and the livelihood of the natives. What do we get? Agricultural land, lots of. Space for mining. Let's say you plant soy and corn (monocultures thrive in wastelands), and mine the hell of whatever you find. In a few years, there is no more rain. The river and its basin dries out. The whole pattern of the continental weather changes, soon followed by the planet's. Massive human migration from everywhere going to wherever the situation it's better (animals and plants can't do that).
      Now, the place where everyone travel could not be USA. The unforeseeable alteration in the weather could make USA and Europe's weather so extremely dry/rainy/hot that their inhabitants would join the flood of climate refugees. And that's just the beginning. New diseases produced by close contact between animals trying to survive in cities and malnourished humans. New pandemics. Poverty everywhere. Political unrest, riots and revolutions.
      Our planet has gone through several mass extinctions caused by situations less important than the sudden loss of a major rainforest.
      It seems you haven't seen farther away than 4 years onwards, which seems a typical approach in right-winger American politics, as long as there are immediate profits involved.
      There is an interesting paleontology channel called PBS Eons here in UA-cam. Watching it could prove beneficial, besides of educating you in the ancient history of our world and its lifeforms, it could twist the algorithm towards something else than the Rules of Acquisition.
      Good luck.
