  • In this episode we return to the fern dungeon in Tasmania to take a look at a giant tree fern called Cyathea cunninghamii, which is rare on the island compare to the much more ubiquitous Dicksonia antarctica. We also spend a moment with the bizarre geologic phenomenon known as "Tessellated Pavement".

    When I was a kid I found out about tree ferns somehow and was really taken with the idea of a tree that was a fern. I wish they grew around where I live. Thanks for another great video, I also liked the Linux plug.

    Vancouver Island is a temperate rainforest too, I love the life on life on life. I live the eastern side of the island which is in a rain shadow. But the diversity is just as spectacular! But these prolonged droughts are seriously affecting the water needing western red cedar thuja pilcata and yellow cedar callitropsis nootkatensis.

    That's cross-bedding in the sandstone, signs of dunes on a windy beach or desert environment. On a small scale (flatter angles) cross-bedding also occurs in water.

    • @pacogimanes
      @pacogimanes Рік тому +2

      I concur. Although water cross-bedding tends to be of a steeper angle when produced by underwater currents (ripples) and shallower angles when produced by wind currents (dunes). A flat lamination in the sand granulometric range would also imply a higher velocity current.

(I mean, if you’re fascinated by stuff like that… which most of us commenting here probably will be) .., it’s a great study of the history and devastation of forests/wood products by humanity in the pursuit of “growth”…or you know, “civilization” and what the shit!

      See also : Alternation of generations... Gametophyte phase, sporophyte phase. In Angiosperms, the pollen grain is the Gametophyte. In tree ferns, the Gametophyte resembles a little heart shaped plantlet the size of a thumb, which germinates from a spore.
      www.researchgate.net/publication/226855253_Tree_Ferns_Biotechnology_From_Spores_to_Sporophytes
      Gametophytes are haploid (half as many chromosomes/genetic material as the parents). The Gametophyte produces both egg and sperm on it, but generally at different times in order to promote outcrossing & genetic diversity. It is on the Gametophyte that the actual "banging" and merging of genetic material (haploid + haploid = diploid aka a full set of genes) occurs. Once this happen, the plant that we actually think of when we think of a tree fern starts growing.

    Nice to see but buggar the leeches. Separating Dicksonia from Cyathea is much easier than this: Cyathea fronds have scales and no hairs(although some scales can be very narrow and hairlike) while Dicksonia have hairs and no scales, thus the unfurling frond that you fondle is a Cyathea as it has scales.

    • @peopleeps4756
      @peopleeps4756 Рік тому

      Hello my friend I hope you dont mind me answering! All plants reproduce by alternating generations in a diplohaplontic lifestyle. Sporophytes, which are the usual big trees flowers and bushes we see, produce spores (pollen). Gametophytes, which are usually consumed for the development of the baby sporophyte in the seed, produce gametes (sperm and eggs). So plants produce both spores and sperm/eggs! Another cool thing about this is that mosses and liverworts reverse this system, where the big visible parts are the gametophytes and the capsules they create are the sporophytes!

    • @peopleeps4756
      @peopleeps4756 Рік тому

      Oh also sorry forgot to mention how seedless plants grow sporophytes! So instead of a seed, ferns will release their spores. When one of these spores land they grow into a gametophyte mat that's super tiny and sometimes heart shaped ❤. When this gets fertilized by a sperm, the ferns (sporophyte) we see grow out of it, soon becoming the dominant generation!
