And maybe how interconnected our universe is

And when they do, they just don’t care enough to want change

​@jordanbrown3816 It could be a possibility that many do want change, but because of the complexity of the systems that are interconnected, they are not sure where to start or feel research must be done to avoid mistakenly making a change that is worse. I believe change is happening all around us, especially with new technology and our ability to rapidly share information. We just haven't quite begun to see these changes on a larger scale yet. Have hope that we will get there and you just focus on what you can do. Every little bit helps.

And how humans are interconnected. Not everyone realises that to be good to each other means that a better community is better for their own children and their children after that. Harming others could mean you deplete the possibilities for the next generations that will create that community, which they will be part of when they are old and when their grandchildren grow up.

Yeah! And some people use that fact to miss inform the masses with their platform!

Great comment!

‭Job 38:1-41 NASB1995‬ [1] Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, [2] “Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge? [3] Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! [4] Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, [5] Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it? [6] On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone, [7] When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? [8] “Or who enclosed the sea with doors When, bursting forth, it went out from the womb; [9] When I made a cloud its garment And thick darkness its swaddling band, [10] And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors, [11] And I said, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther; And here shall your proud waves stop’? [12] “Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place, [13] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? [14] It is changed like clay under the seal; And they stand forth like a garment. [15] From the wicked their light is withheld, And the uplifted arm is broken. [16] “Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep? [17] Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? [18] Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this. [19] “Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place, [20] That you may take it to its territory And that you may discern the paths to its home? [21] You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great! [22] Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, [23] Which I have reserved for the time of distress, For the day of war and battle? [24] Where is the way that the light is divided, Or the east wind scattered on the earth? [25] “Who has cleft a channel for the flood, Or a way for the thunderbolt, [26] To bring rain on a land without people, On a desert without a man in it, [27] To satisfy the waste and desolate land And to make the seeds of grass to sprout? [28] Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? [29] From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth? [30] Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned. [31] “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion? [32] Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites? [33] Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth? [34] “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you? [35] Can you send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you, ‘Here we are’? [36] Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind? [37] Who can count the clouds by wisdom, Or tip the water jars of the heavens, [38] When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together? [39] “Can you hunt the prey for the lion, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, [40] When they crouch in their dens And lie in wait in their lair? [41] Who prepares for the raven its nourishment When its young cry to God And wander about without food? ‭Job 39:1-30 NASB1995‬ [1] “Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer? [2] Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth? [3] They kneel down, they bring forth their young, They get rid of their labor pains. [4] Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them. [5] “Who sent out the wild donkey free? And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey, [6] To whom I gave the wilderness for a home And the salt land for his dwelling place? [7] He scorns the tumult of the city, The shoutings of the driver he does not hear. [8] He explores the mountains for his pasture And searches after every green thing. [9] Will the wild ox consent to serve you, Or will he spend the night at your manger? [10] Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with ropes, Or will he harrow the valleys after you? [11] Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him? [12] Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor? [13] “The ostriches’ wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love, [14] For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust, [15] And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may trample them. [16] She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned; [17] Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding. [18] When she lifts herself on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider. [19] “Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? [20] Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible. [21] He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons. [22] He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword. [23] The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin. [24] With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet. [25] As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’ And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry. [26] “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south? [27] Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high? [28] On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place. [29] From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar. [30] His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.” ‭Job 40:1-2 NASB1995‬ [1] Then the Lord said to Job, [2] “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it.”

​@@brianhall9859 Dillussional outburst noted.

What!? Lol

I didn't realize there were any “small” hydroelectric damns. I’m serious, what is being called small? There are smaller versions of hydro-power, but bigger than one would think of as anything built for residential useage! These turbines would allow for natural spawning and other circle of life activities without obstruction and rarely if ever death caused by the turbines. They can be set up near communities they would be helping, there would be no damning of the water so they would allow for natural function of the river they are set up along or even large creeks. They would be installed next to the river, along the bank and would divert a small amount of water for just a moment from the river and then dumping it right back in. The water would have an open pathway allowing any fish also diverted to continue along with the river waters. Also there would be zero need for creating damns and/or reservoirs to jeep these turbines flowing. I think every hydroelectric plant should be completely removed, no destruction left to poison or damn up the waters, and replaced with the smaller, but healthier alternative, which is just a simple rethinking of how the originals operate!!!😊

No, you don't remove the dam, you put in fish ladders... you know there are these creatures called "beavers" who literally transformed 90% of all the land we have had throughout human existence. They create dams, and its probably how early humans figured out how to do it. Were beavers have lived, life has flourished. This is nature at its finest. Up in canada, there is a beaver dam so large, that you can see it from space.

@@tyrzxv the largest beaver dams in the world are around 1000 ( extremely rare) Man made dams are almost a mile long. Fish ladders are improving,but It’s disingenuous to even compare the two

@@DSTRAZ98 how is it disingenuous to compare the two ? Beaver Dams don't have fish ladders at all. They make them on the smallest of streams, and yet life has survived millions of years of their activities. Human dams may be more rigid, but they allow a definite opportunity for fish to bypass them with fish ladders. I grew up in a state (I'll let you experts figure out which one) that has 12 of the major hydro electric dams in the US and directly powers a majority of the west coast... the salmon have survived and have no problem with the fish ladders. Life actually thrives because these dams retain water during drought years. As far as this video goes... again, i grew up were this guy is talking about, i would catch salmon with my bare hands as a little kid.... we have mountains and valleys... how the hell does the salmon fertilize the trees and forest 500 feet higher than the river below ??? They grow just fine above as they do below. There definitely is a cycle when the salmon spawn, but when you get 50 salmon dieing and rotting in the same area of the river because that's where they were born, it sometimes affects other life in that area in a negative way. Not all animals eat rotting meat, and other fish don't necessarily want to breath that water and leave the area.

@@tyrzxv you compared the LARGEST natural beaver dam in the world to man made dams where most fish die before making their way up the ladders. Older dams didn’t have ladders at all for decades. Never mind the water and land rights of indigenous tribes whose land is flooded(ruined). The US is fully capable of building new nuclear reactors instead of dams that fuck up Salmon & tribal land

Same but I lived in Arkansas and was surprised a restaurant had salmon on the menu. Who would have thought?

Lol, considering mycelium, have the largest feeding structure in the forest. I'd say it's very minimal...

I had read that Phosphorus was one of the specific key nutrients, from the fish bones. But either way, one would need a transport mechanism INTO the forest from the stream corridors, since groundwater typically migrates from inland TO perennial streams, back toward the ocean. Carnivore bodily waste would fit the bill. [@djt7387 So bears don't p**p in the woods, after all ? :) ]

Salmon are a key stone species. *Hundreds of millions* of salmon used to swim up from the Pacific Ocean to mate *and die* in all these rivers in the West Coast.

True. They all matter. Starting with microbes they all benefit from and benefit the ecosystem. Salmon bring in large quantities of nutrients from the ocean.

My cat killed a squirrel and brought it home. I took it over to a local small forest near me and buried it by a tree. Trees are so important to our planet. They help us detoxify the air which is why I love living here in Washington state.

Yeah. At the scale of this question, it becomes a matter of biomass and the interaction pathways (keystone species especially) that move it inland.

You're missing the point though. The nutrients the salmon leaves behind originated in the ocean (much of it actually washed into the ocean by rivers) The species living in the forest get their nutrients from the forest and deposit them back into the forest. The salmon gets their nutrients from the ocean and deposit them into the forest.

Fish piss? Never swimming in the sea again

​@CoolCat-rw6pp and lakes, rivers or creeks lol

Yes, but groundwater typically discharges FROM inland TO streams, instead of the stream recharging the groundwater. So fish piss would migrate primarily downstream toward the ocean. Carnivores transporting fish carcass nutrients inland (either directly or through body waste) would make more sense.

There is a difference but also consider that some of these trees are actually just one. A lot of them in fact. They become interconnected through the root system. Trees can communicate.

which is why they make it possible for fish to pass through dams

​@@Sizilhiizzzzsslol fucking who said what??😂😂😂

I was coming here looking for a reasonable comment. Some people are into some total woohoo shit lol. Like guys there are trees all the way up to the snow line, most native salmon spawn out in lower tributaries. We also don't have grizzlies, and grizzlies that predate on spawning salmon is a fairly localized phenomenon in certain parts of Alaska. Black bears in the Northwest typically derive their diet from salmon carcasses. Jesus Christ people are dumb. Not to say having salmon isn't a good thing but God damn let's stay grounded in reality when it comes to ecosystems.

No one is saying it's the only reason.

@@scottfuller9180except trees came on the scene around the time of the extinction of dinosaurs.

​@@KeeperOfSecrets-42069 yeah flowering plants are from end Triassic but pines were around since the carboniferous way before the dinosaurs. Land plants pre-date all vertebrates on land and arise in the Ordovician. about 380 million years before the extinction of dinosaurs

Let's talk about beavers

The education system has failed you. What about simply going to the Pacific Northwest makes you understand a complex food web? You have to read the literature and do some critical thinking. Nutrients from the source that is salmon has nothing to do with the trees proximity to the river. Nutrition bioaccumulates and is distributed hundreds of miles by the animals that eat the salmon. Bears, raccoons, birds, insects.... They eat these salmon and go elsewhere. Depositing nitrogen in the form of waste. A bear might visit the river during the salmon run then travel hundreds of miles away from the river and die. Thus distributing what it got from the river to the rest of the forest. Just takes a little bit of critical thinking, man. It's not that hard. Yeah the environmental scientists know nothing. I'm sure you know everything 🙄

​@@elcastro5000it's sad we don't teach evolution and ecology to people in high school. I feel it should likely be compulsory instead of some of the other units in science classes which are better suited as optional for those that want to pursue more serious scientifically oriented educations in the future, speaking as a Canadian in Ontario fyi

Ecosystems are systems for a reason. Every little thing affects the next thing above it. This is why a species of beetle nearly wiped out the Alaskan wilderness, or how a one-degree raise in temperature in Antarctica can have world-wide ramifications in all kinds of ways.
