Monoculture forests are dead except for the grid-grown trees. Walking through a tree plantation is depressing. No sounds, no life.

Soil compaction from heavy equipment is often overlooked too. This can greatly impact seed germination in the seed bank. Once soil is compacted, it takes a very very long time to return to its prior state.

The big problem facing the environmentalists is the exclusion of "Joe Citizen" from the equation. We are all British Columbians we all succeed with healthy old growth forests. Burt excluding non natives is a mistake! I can not tell you how many times I have been told where to go by my brothers and sisters of our indigenous peoples. It is there land - Period "that is the mistake they make" It belongs to all of us! Let the elders and the indigenous manage it - but make no mistake we ALL own the land!

Why are those 2nd growth forests not managed ... Selective thinning at various stages, species diversity, and low impact harvesting would go a long way to improving the harvests, the yield, and the overall health of the forest and animals who need that eco world for sustainability. The old growth forest you showed had forestry tree stumps - so not a pristine old growth forest.

Biomass Energy needs to stop in B.C... Drax is clear cutting whole forests for biomass wood pellets. Criminal as there is a housing shortage, preventing young couples a home to raise a family in. Uk energy is not worth our future in B.C. and Canada.

Losing integrity for short-term Forestry, not very sustainable as demonstrated by the major Stand replacing fires, often Arson caused, racing through such degraded Foorest stands after Modern Forest practices, do not have the thick barked, large tree bole, higher fuel ladders, and Site resilient features of more mature Forest groves and stands. Structurally much less complex, even-aged stands have not been effective in scenarios of hotter, more severe Fires upsetting vast areas that have been clearcut, managed for short term exploitation.

I've always loved old growth forest , they are enchanting and magical , I know that sounds like tree hugging , hippie bull ---- or bleeding hart crap , but it's true . They have so much more life in them , I've never agreed with the " Sustained burn " stuff ether , it just never made sense to me , I understand the logic behind it , but I disagree , the benefits don't out weigh the cons ( total / destruction ) and it's supposed benefits are short lived . Trees help each other , by sharing stored nutrients . ( see / watch " the Mother Tree ") through mushrooms , underground connecting roots of many different plants . This takes a very long time to become efficient . And it's really interesting , is it intelligence ? Is it consciousness ? Is it " self awareness " ? Or " awareness " of another " living organism ? Anyway it's amazing ! And " Old Growth " do it best ... Reminds me of life , because it " IS " .

Fantastic, great to hear. In all the known universe life is extraordinarily rare, yet we're privileged to have it stunningly in great diversity right before us. How so few people seem to take interest in it or care to value it, or absurdly go so far as to destroy most of it, still beyond my reason. Poverty stricken life and desperation i guess. 20,000 known edible plants at least and most all people rarely can understand enough to use more than 150.

Sure, remaining old growth should be protected. But the implication that 2nd growth forests are always barren of biodiversity is grossly exaggerated. First, in much of North America, the 2nd growth isn't a "plantation"- as the forests can regrow all by themselves with a diversity of species. And, even if they are plantations- often they are thinned after a few decades allowing light to reach the ground, allowing ground vegetation. Anyone who likes wood products, like wood in your home, wood in your furniture, and paper products ought to learn to like excellent forestry. And I don't mean most forestry is excellent because that's not true. But rather than attempting to stop all or most forestry, it's smarter to improve all forestry. I've been a forester for exactly 50 years so I can speak from experience.
@jackstone42912 ай бұрын
There is little or limited biodiversity in 2nd growth forests as there are no mature or ancient trees, and there is usually one species of tree that’s been planted or left to grow naturally. That’s the issue. And it is an issue as you said.
@JoeZorzin2 ай бұрын
@@jackstone4291 I suggest it's an exageration to say there is little biodiversity in 2nd growth forests. There is less than in an old growth- but it's different, with different species of plants and animals. The 2nd growth will have early succession species of trees and animals that prefer that early succession type of forest. It's also incorrect that there will be one species- perhaps in some planted forests but for most of this planet, the forests regrow on their own with many species. Here in New England- if you clearcut an old growth forest- which itself may have had few species- you may see poplar, several species of birch, several species of pine, spruce, black and pin cherry, many species of shrubs and abundant wildflowers and ferns. Also, in early succession types of forests you will see bird species not found in old growth. I am not dismissing the need for old growth. I have found several small patches of old growth which I have shown to old growth experts. I like old growth forests- and I have traveled to many national parks in America to view landscapes in relatively original condition. But I have been a forester for 50 years and I know that it's all too easy to think managed forests are sterile monocultures. There is some of that on this planet but not all that much. And even they aren't all that sterile.
