How Fire Can Restore a Forest: A Time-Lapse (Tree View) 

Yes, we can blow ourselves up with every nuclear bomb ever made and nature would still survive

@@joegastly6166 Yep eventually

No. This is proof that the Lord will always win

​@@nadiaa8357which one?

same!

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

Forest fires and heatwaves have killed off 75% insect populations in Europe. Without pollinators among insects, the world can face famine within 4 years.

Forest fires are not "natural." They are either deliberate or accidental. Unscrupled farmers use fire to clear lands.

@@pinklady7184 Is lightning natural?

@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.

Emmett, you can try contacting photographer Rich Reid at: richreid.photoshelter.com/index

Woa Emmett

Did you ever get permission?😮

Yep, over 4,000 images all in 27 seconds. I have many different versions of this time-lapse on different lengths and dissolve.

The goal was a 30 second clip but I have many other versions.

Because you are gay

Exactlyyy

Hmm this was 7 years ago so they should have 7 years of timelapse footage where is this footage?

Cause it's hard to shoot ಥ‿ಥ

This was a four month time lapse from March to June. Yes the recovery period is quick in a moist area.

@No Theory nooooo

People are building there things on top of the soil which prevents anything to grow so it’s the human activity that is causing things to not regrow

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.

Kevin are you German? Estonian?

@@tas5622 japanese

@@kevinpeik1209 I apologize, I thought you were American-European. That is fascinating since Peik is a Germanic surname.

The Native Americans do actually.

@@danniemoore97 NO, In Latvia everyone is born with that burning gene even today. First wild fires in Latvia are registered before even the snow melts

Nothing. Part of life

Lol i see you are trying get answers too.

Gl0w.Z yup

are you from the deep heart of texas?

*cough* secondary *cough*

Doggo Boi thanks

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 RU-vid. 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.

Um, I mean those dont pose any risk though

Looks like your classmates are nowhere to be found

Because these climate change activists try to convince people otherwise in their made-up political views

There are seeds evolved which only germinate once exposed to fire.

I used a custom built pelican case which survived the initial blast. The straps melted and shrunk but did not break.
