Matt this is done so well! I always believed horticulture and botany would lend themselves really well to the youtube format, and it's so refreshing to see someone making really cool, accessible content showing just how rock and roll botany can be ;) love this episode
Best video so far! So great to see others out in the woods botanizing like I do in the forests and meadows of Pennsylvania. Keep the great videos coming!
Being in Australia it's so wonderful to be able to listen to and watch such approachable and informative shows and learn about such vastly different ecosystems, you really make ecology and botany accessible. Thank you.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up! I love the video series accompanying my favorite podcast. This was a special treat and so well done. Southern Appalachia is one of my favorite spots on the planet and I don't get into them as often as I like. It was nice to see some of my favorite plants being showcased and learn a few more. Keep doing what you are doing Matt!
Awesome video ! Where did you get you Doctorates in Botany. You are very knowledgeable. on wild mountain flora ! Thank you for the educational video. 🌲🌳🌴🌱🌿🍀🌱👌🇺🇸❤️😘👍👍
Thanks for all of your works. Great podcasts and videos; they give me hope that there are others out there that cares about conservation. Living in Thailand, I'm really finding it hard to cope with plant poaching and the public's ignorance about this problem.
Thank you so much for the video, Sir! It was informative and also entertaining! I just loved it, please continue to make more videos like this one! A suggestion/request that i would like to make is that you mention the binomial of the plants or show them on the screen.
Really neat to see the "gametophytic" Vittaria species. I didn't know about this species in Appalachia. Here in Japan a large cousin, V. flexuosa is a common lithophyte. Southern Appalachia is an amazing place!
I really love your videos and podcast! I wish there was someone who does something similar in an Australian setting. Maybe you could just come to Australia! Some of my teachers do some really inspiring work in the botany department at La Trobe University in Melbourne come 'round for a BBQ. :)
Imagine if the spray cliff community had an influence in the evolution of land plants. If these communities can exist for millions of years, they would be stable enough for them to gradually adapt.
Really liked the video! Where can I find the name of all the plants that you talked about in the video? Are they in the links that you have provided in the description?
Just as I've read about the Great American Chestnut Blight that happened a century ago and devastated the whole species, I can now see this vid about the Appalachians, where the American Chestnut was also very common. So we see natures ability to deal with catastrophes, intriguing! Here's a link on the blight: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--xgbedXnbfw.html
