your video is soo informative but..please lower the volume of your background music..it is kinda disturbing.thanks👍

Fun fact, azolla is a really popular aquarium floater plant! Shrimp love to eat it and it is simply gorgeous on the top of your tank. Do your part and put azolla in your aquariums not only for your fish oxygen needs but for yourself!

No one plant should have all that power.

in India people have started azolla farming for high quality cattle feed..

do we can call this period Dagobah Earth

Plants did not provide the initial oxygen revolution. That was done by cyanobacteria and algae long before plants came about. Even today, plants account for only one third total oxygen production.

Good talk. Less music. You don’t see David Attenborough being over powered by music.

i can feel the improvement in your recent videos from seeing these old videos!

"smarter than a plant"? You ask too much of us.

lowkey been my favorite channel that I just found, getting a really nice intuitive grasp for the natural world!

Fascinating video! I learnt so much and it left me wanting to learn more :)

Great video. I had been watching a lot of your videos these days, thanks for sharing

This and "Eutrophication Explained" are the two videos on this channel that I think deserve way more views. Both are super well-researched and informative, shame they don't get more love

The Azolla Event and how it came to be: *extremely interesting*

Hey. I just started watching your videos, and I gotta say, they're really informative and pleasant to watch. Now I'm kinda scared to write this because I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I think and hope you'll understand and appreciate the criticism. I think that your inflection could use some improvement. It sounds too much like you are reading the lines. I think some more change in the tone of your voice would make it feel more engaging. I'm not sure how hard that is to do, since I've never tried doing anything like this, but I hope this advice is helpful.

This was fascinating. Thanks for making this!

Production and the beats be on point on these videos. Keep up the good work

Would it be possible to use azolla to fight global warming? We already create eutrophic areas from farmland runoff, and we could possibly help create those anaerobic conditions to prevent decomposition.

OMG!!! I've followed you for a hot minute! HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN TGIS VIDEO??? AWESOME VID!!! (As always!)

Love your videos. Great information about current day climate change and especially liked learning about the Azolla

Still one of my favourite videos you've ever made. Cant put my finger on why though.

Almost looks like a succulent plant. It's amazing how important algae was in ancient oceans and microbes that also gave off oxygen. To then team up with these plants to fill out atmosphere with oxygen.

And now we're realasing all that trapped CO2 back into the atmosphere!

Great video 👏, thanks for sharing this

The music was used incorrectly in this video. I see in your later videos, you perfected it. Congratulations on improving over time.

Azolla: _I’m not like other ferns~_

Nice informative Video 👍👍👍 And the message at last is 👌👌👌

That settles it. We need to start growing Azolla as the “ultimate oxygen producer” plant.

we could actually do this exact thing to save the climate right now as the black sea has this same thing going on thats why we can still find ancient roman wrecks at the bottom that havn't really decomposed at all cus most bacteria cant chill down there also future russia will thank us for the oil

We should try to act smarter than a plant. That gave me goosebumps.

Very informative video.Thank you very much!!!

Most important and the Best educational video among many but for the noxious music . Thanks for the info. I will share it.

Excellent video!!!

Wow amazing stuff, you would be a good science teacher!

Great video. Thank you.

Could you bring any references? Awesome topic by the way!

I want to see a chart of your subscriber growth. It went from 105 K to 124 since the last time I looked, which was yesterday.

The video is interesting, but the music is loud and annoying. I would find it better without music.

One thing you probably should have mentioned is while the land was lush and green, the oceans where acid and dead

Wow, really good informative video! Fascinating to see how the world changes over time.. Yes, we humans need to be so much more responsible on how we can affect the climate both negatively and positively!

Good information and good music.

Amazing contents!!

Azolla is an aquatic fern.Sometimes called Water Fern,or Mosquito Fern.

@Atlas Pro, an amazing video, but why dou you say that now is the first time in Earth's history that poles are covered by ice? Haven't there been earlier periods when all of Earth was frozen?

although it's hard to understand what you say, GREAT video and very interesting topic indeed.

Hay do you think you can engineer a package to grow azolla in a small pond? Dose it still exist?

This video meeds a remake. It seems bvery interesting but the music is too loud. It's difficult to follow

wow! that's fast. you could hear this plant grow

very informative...history....

thanks, I learned a thing today.

just found this channel a few days ago and I fuckin love itt

This topic is about some ancient, old old biology, with a mystery vibe, yet the music is totally in the other spectrum, it is very modern, very urban, very civilized. But the content is so good :)

I think the word you're looking for in your description is "industrious"

Enjoyed the video very much, good job! Just would like to point out that Azolla actually do depend on symbiotic association with bacteria to fix nitrogen. The special thing about Azolla is that its symbiote is a cyanobacteria (what is not common) called Anabaena azollae. I am not sure if there is any terrestrial plant (Embryophyte) that can fix nitrogen all by it self.

This video deserves way more views

Thank you! I like your videos without music in the background, I find it distracting. Maybe something instrumental without a drumbeat?

You get one tiny piece of duckweed in an aquarium and before you know it, the top is covered with the stuff. It is nearly impossible to get rid of it

music is chill

But it's not the first time that earth has had seasons nor is it the first time that earth experienced ice. It's always been in flux and will continue to do so despite how we may or may not change the atmosphere. This process with these plants occured over an 800,000 year period. The industrial age of man has been going on for roughly 200 years. That's quite a big difference

Imagine lush forests all around the globe 🤩. That was so cool... I mean, so hot! Alas that we don't live in those days. Strange that this enormous amount of fern had no natural grazers. Some plant grazing sea mammal would not care about anoxic waters and could have averted the climate disaster...

Wow video quality has improved dramatically

Cool stuff! The metaphor was rather obvious before you reached the conclusion, but it's a sombering methaphor anyway. While tragic for humanity, no doubt life will continue to find a way and thrive even if we are the catalyst to our own demise... but now I'm dangerously close to quoting Jurassic Park and we can't have that. Good video! But I'll agree that the music was a bit loud.

What’s the name of the song track, please?

This was well done

Super interesting really. Why have I not heard this before now?

suggest redoing this video with your current format and production value. Plus you can update your thoughts on this plant matter.

What is your background music theme name? It make shake my body while learning about azola, in good way though :D

Amazing info

Each country's politician should watch this content. Btw, Love from India 💝

Lol you read my mind with those movie references.

What conditions in the arctic allowed Azolla to thrive more than it had previously done so in rivers?

this was mind-blowing.

Keep that volume, i can PARTY and LEARN!

At 8:30 you say "Perhaps for the first time in earths history ice was to be found at both the north and the south pole." That sounds wrong to me, but if it is not wrong it would be great if you could elaborate on that point in some other video! =) (Love your vids! =) )

Music track name?

Am I the only one who saw this and thought “how can we harness azolla to sequester more carbon and try to limit climate change?” I’m sure that there are potential adverse effects or at the very least it’s way more complicated than that, but still.

The azolla event was also a thing around Antarctica, there have been Ice Houses before the one we are in where both poles were covered in ice, including Snow Ball Earth where more or less the whole planet was covered in ice.

As with much of your topics, very informative. The issue is whether what i'm being informed of, is accurate. I feel the difference between teaching and preaching, is reference, source material, and allowing others to arrive at the same conclusion, rather than "this is". Still, more interesting than the final season of game of thrones, so 10/10 for entertainment.

Even tidy. People are growing palm trees in temperate climates . Even in temperate stepps like in Idaho.

Great content, great video editing - and then you decide to put in escalator music. Why? This is not an infomercial, I want to concentrate on what you have to say!

The code it was running worked incredibly in those conditions

please reupload the video sans music entirely. this is much too cool and important of a topic to be covered by such harsh and deterring soundtrack.

PLEASE please please please please reedit this it is soooo good but you sound way better in other videos and the background music is too loud. Your great but please redo this so I can tell lots of people about it and they can learn as well. Way to go 👏

Image how big the trees and how thick the forests were in Eocene.

I’m a fan and addict to this channel but only made it 2-1/2 minutes into presentation due to background music

This is very misinformative! Plants did NOT create the first oxygen - cyanobacteria did it in the oceans far earlier and this oxygen diffused into the atmosphere 2.4 million years ago. It did have huge effects on the world but is not really linked to animals being able to grow larger. Plants migrated onto land ~470 million years ago, far later than you stated. This is all wrong in just the first minute. I liked your videos but now I'm worried that other ones aren't scientifically sound as well

could be. that's an important point. correlation is not causation but make sure your right when you make serious decisions like subverting energy sources.

Ditto. Another vote for re-editing the video to remove the noxious background music.

Didn't expect to enter a DANCE party when i clicked this but I'm not angry about it :)

Fairly good once you get to the subject of the initiation of the Antarctic Ice House or late Cenozoic ice age but other "facts" presented are fairly inaccurate compared to other videos on this channel. One semantic point is you referenced plants in the more general context though they were only really relevant for the two most recent full ice houses The Planet has had earlier Ice house intervals before though the last "real" bout of them before the Cenozoic was during Paleozoic where the most prominent was the Karoo Ice House or late Paleozoic Glaciation that occurred over the Carboniferous and early Permian was the where the distinctive alternation of Carboniferous boggy rain forests sequestered carbon into dense deposits of peat initiating a Ice age that spanned well over a 100 million years or about 3 times the length of the Antarctic or Cenozoic Ice Age. Its end was driven by the formation of the super continent Pangaea greatly restricting habitable environments through oceanic nutrient deficiencies and terrestrial aridity. Prior to that there was the Andean-Saharan that lasted 30 million years as the first Phanerozoic ice age, however I can't find much information on that interval and it wasn't really related to the term paper I wrote my atmospheric physics class that said it does seem associated with a mass extinction event. However even earlier in the Precambrian there were a series of extreme glaciations the Cryogenian was a long lasting set of disequilibrium driven glaciations provided courtesy of the break up of the Supercontinent Rodinia. There too Photosynthetic life wrecked the climate by abusing the conditions created by Plate Tectonics among other factors to trigger truly global glaciation sufficient to freeze the Oceans over by severely depleting CO2 due to decoupled ocean layers preventing recycling. It seems to be these pulses that first forced Eukaryotes to really join together on a wide scale leading to the evolution of the Metazoans. While it is obviously more complicated than just that previous instances of biologically driven disequilibrium have had big effects on the climate. And then even further back you have the Huron as another global glaciation connected to the first pulse of atmospheric oxygenation. I don't know how you can say it was the first when there is a long history going back over 2 billion yeas of various glaciation events with the worst of them overlapping with the greatest rise in biological complexity namely the first Eukaryotes and the rise of multicellular life. Climate is dynamic and life is prone to following the cycle of the petri dish overusing resources until they are depleted leading to overpopulation and starvation. Population control will be critical and for that education will be an essential role And as others said the music was a bit much.

I would love to see a video that explains the formation of fossil fuels and oil, and why they are more abundant in certain areas of the globe!

The earth goes through changes as it has always been doing for billions of years. So no matter what we do the earth will still change from one phase to another regardless

Background dance music = in one ear and out the other

Music sounds like the plants are doing step aerobics

Well at least it's somewhat comforting knowing that some other little plant may come along and repair our screw ups after we're gone.

This video proves that we all should have fishtanks to keep azolla

How can a plant that uses photosynthesis survive in a place with little to no sunlight for 6 months of the year? Can someone explain because I really don't understand?

Appreciate a lot the effort of giving all this information except for the music which is a nuisance.

Of course it can be understated. You mean it can't be overstated.

good idea i have small azolla farm too^^
