Oceans are Deserts 

essentially!

Forests are glaciers of trees. Glaciers are forests of ice.

A city is a concrete jungle and the forest is a skyscraper of trees

they were in all history compared, a camel was called the ship of the desert..

@Archock Encanto are you stupid or what he probably knows more than your bird brain lookin ass

@Archock Encanto uff... this hurts. are you gonna tell us next that learning must be painful and thst work is inherently suffering? im a neuroscientist and engineer, have researched learning and written papers on learning improvements, stating that you cannot learn when expecting entertainment is crazy. the contrary is the case - we learn BEST when not expecting having to learn. entertainment in nearly every instance leads to highrr amounts of deep processing which connects more ideas together creating the associative memory - which has higher retrival rates and shows correlation with creative idea formation.

@Archock Encanto Ok listen buddy having a job doesn't make you smart most people around nowadays have no talent nor brains for example mumble rappers and is there a reason you aren't the main professor? oh wait guess you dont quality all you need to do is copy the professor and say the things he usually says to the students to get by.... Also whats wrong with an anime profile picture are you claiming that people with any sort of background that doesnt have a profile picture dumb? I think you make a perfect of example of the retarded teachers who don't know what they are teaching nowadays you guys are literally SCREWING UP THE NEXT GENERATION just so YOU CAN MAKE A LIVING

@Archock Encanto just because your dumbass has a job as a professor doesn't mean you are smart its like saying "I knew stephen hawking" that doesnt make you smart but this is what you are doing you are saying smart because you are affiliated to a genius

That's awesome that Wendover and Second Thought have gotten big enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as CGP Grey

​@@_JayRamsey_ I suggest watching Wendovers geopolitical videos and then comparing then to a dedicated geopolitics channel like Caspianreports or Strategy stuff. It's a general trend in many of the 10-minute infotainment channels that they sometimes cover a topic in a somewhat shallow manner without declaring that it's covered in shallow manner. That doesn't take away from them of course or mean that they are wrong, but sometimes it simplify topics more than it perhaps should to make them more appealing and shorter. Wendovers videos seem to often be a visual summary of an article or similiar, and i wish they would be more upfront about such things in the videos.

Sorry but this is leagues above them

Is a little bit click-bait as a desert is to do with rainfall rather than life, but I agree it's a great video

@@Vetle1580 Which is why Zepherus and WonderWhy are better quality than Wendover: they spend more time in research.

Thanks! More to come soon!

I came from the same video and I agree. This channel is truly something special

DJFlare84 you cant make coral reefs lol

We are, they're called "offshore wind farms". Well, maybe not specifically coral reefs. Many of them do grow mussel beds, I hear.

@@Mikasks Actually, there are people that build coral reefs for a living. They sink ships, use construction material, concrete, and other materials for barnacles, corals, and oysters to attach themselves to which in turn brings other sea life into the area. They even grow corals for these projects to seed the new reefs. It's hard to do especially in a hurricane-prone area of the ocean where the new corals are ripped off the ocean floor, but they keep trying and sometimes are successful. They may be man-made/artificial coral reefs, but they are coral reefs just the same.

Yeah, this probably work. *look at recent marine biology papers regarding corals* ...10 years ago.

Cscape ooh I didn’t know that artificial reefs are a thing. That’s really cool, that might be the only way to do this.

probably relatively low, as there isn't much producers in urban landscapes

From what, houseplants?

@@taritangeo4948 Would be some lawns as well. Though I imagine lawns are extremely low producers too

They're basically deserts too

" no" that's how much there is

@@Weeeeessel lmao

Noah Claus tuff but you got rid of a sicko atleast

Geoffrey Zwegers online courses are so annoying tho

it is a part of Biogeography

The Nile is home to one of the most intensive agricultural lands in the world. Going back thousands of years the Egyptians would capture its flood waters to allow nutrient-rich sediments to be deposited. An irrigation system like this persists to this day, reducing the total nutrients exiting the river through the delta. Without those nutrients, you're not going to have a spike in productivity.

@@AtlasPro1 Fascinating! So, then, we could potentially stop the sorts of mass die offs of fish from rivers dumping fertilizer into the ocean you talked about with a sufficiently advanced irrigation system?

It really depends on the river. For ones like the Amazon and Mississippi, it'd be more effective to stop stripping the land of its vegetation to stop erosion from draining all the nutrients away.

@@AtlasPro1 Makes sense! Thanks for the clarifications!

One of the unintended consequences of the Aswan High Dam was to stop the flow of nutrients from reaching the Nile River agricultural basin.

I was totally gonna put this too!

Angelo Pacia we have the same profile pic 😱

@@wackyduck3 You are WRONG. Comparing the ocean to a desert is about SCARCITY OF LIFE. "mountain" refers to a topographic profile.

Yes, let's focus on the numbers to win a pissing match. Throw away the science that produced those numbers; you NEED to be RIGHT.

@@avabethmcghee3048 Not necessarily. Ecologists (on land, at least) often make a point of measuring bioproductivity by comparing biomass amounts only after they've literally de-hydrated all the water out -- "dry biomass fraction". That's because it can often be very hard to get good comparable measurements of plant, etc material; once you've "harvested" it in a form that makes it possible to weigh it, some dehydration is almost bound to happen, plus differing plant materials can have differing proportions of water in their natural state. So drying out all the water became one of the standards for coming up with these standardized measurements of biomass in an ecosystem. Trying to calculate biologically active material by only measuring the carbon involved is another strategy. So Michie TN may have a good point. Anyone trying to come up with a solid method for comparing relative biological activity between two ecosystems can run into all sorts of interesting twists. In fact, figuring out how those twists change the meaning of previous and ongoing research is probably a pretty good way to earn a thesis or even a research career. Although I'd bet, even with some tweaks to allow for coral's use of calcium in their structures compared to say, trees -- they still are substantial contributor's to total biomass.

The real limiting factors are the waves, the distance from bottom of ocean to surface, and density of atmosphere (the water) between the two.

@@threezysworld8089- how are the waves a limiting factors of life in ocean? And how is the density of water, which is nearly constant? . . . As to the water depth: of course, nearly all ocean life is limited to the ocean, by definition, but that's a local constant, not a regulator.

@@Achill101 Much harder for life to settle anywhere as well as the density of water being the reason light can't penetrate deep enough.

@@threezysworld8089 - our exchange seems to be only an exchange about words and their meaning. . . . "Density" is the ratio of mass to volume, in kg/m^3, that is nearly constant for seawater. You meant that life is mostly confined to that water where sun light reaches and photosynthesis happens, and that is correct, too. . . . "Limiting factors" are parameters that change from locality to locality and on whose value another factor, here life activity, depends. Penetration of light into seawater, however, is nearly constant across the oceans - scientists would call it a "boundary condition" (which is fixed) not a limiting factor. . . . But the supply of the oceans' top layers with nutrients varies a lot between locations, and it strongly impacts local life activity (more nutrients means more activity or productivity), which was the message of the video. That supply can be called the "limiting factor". . . . Finally, could you explain, please, why you think the WAVES are an important factor? I don't see it now.

No I'm not,I'm dehydrated!

Brazil is protecting. That is why we still have them. 84% of the brazilian amazon rainforest is untouched. Compare that with european or north american forests.

@@GregoXWK4225 Europe and the USA and Canada don't have rain forest, there is more tree coverage now then there were 50 years ago by the size of Alaska, yet there are less rain forest coverage, so stop blaming Westerners for everything.

Desert gang all the way

We could put artificial places for life to settle. Sea life settles on trash, sculptures, the side of ships, you name it. The big obstacle would be keeping the plant life or plankton alive without sunlight. We would need to put in a sturdy long lasting sunlamp of some kind that also has a sufficiently small ecological foot print. Otherwise our floaties are stuck in the photic zone.

i was thinking of the same thing! :D why don't we create some sort of floating platform where the plants will grow below it

Floating wouldn't be ideal; as nutrients build up, it would sink. You'd need heavy pylons, with some sort of large durable net or lattice between them, as a starter medium for life to grow on.

@@breakthrough673 We put permanant sunlamps in the aphotic zone? I figured it was implied that we already put floaties out, both deliberately and otherwise.

@@breakthrough673 I figured I'd implied that already. My bad. Surface areas still aren't really the issue though, not that deep
