The Taiga Biome (Boreal Forest) - Biomes #7

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The Boreal Forest Biome, often referred by its original Russian name as simply the Taiga. It is a sea of coniferous trees, stretching unbroken from coast to coast in the far north of our world. In this video on biogeography, we explore the taiga, what it is exactly, reveal the climate influences that make it this way, and where in the world it is found. - - Only six tree families vie for contention here - four conifers (pine, larch, spruce, fir) and two deciduous species (birch and aspen, making it among the least biodiverse of all biomes. The taiga dominates Alaska, Canada and Northern Scandinavia. In Russia it dominates Siberia across thousands of miles, and that country contains more of this biome than the other countries combined. - Please also watch the accompanying Subarctic video for the full story

Correction, Aspens aren't only found in the Rockies, although Utah has quite a lot. There are a shit ton of them in the Sierra Nevadas, Inyo county especially, near to Bishop/Mammoth. I dont remember seeing any in Mammoth or Big Sur, or Yosemite, so it's possible it's just a small area where there are lots. Those towns are on the East side of the range, north of Mt Whitney.

As a former forester I do resent -forestry has caused to loss of. .. .-. Forestry and the science of silviculture is about managing, harvesting and replacing forests, either of the same species or species conversions. Logging with revegetation and or reforestation is the term I would prefer, as so wonderfully shown in the Amazon rain forests.

I'm not sure what the climate change warning is all about. Yes, we know the climate is changing. Yes, we know the Taiga is 1/5 of the Earth's biomass and yes, we know that climate alarmism has been a multibillion-dollar industry since the Al Gore days. Let's have a sensible discussion about the climate, and most importantly, pollution

Remember that regardless of the darkness of a plant's leaves, the solar energy which reaches them does not translate into a temperature increase - have you ever touched a plant's leaves and felt that they were hot? Plants absorb the energy of the sun to photosynthesize, producing sugars, cellulose and lignin.

Monty python's flying circus did not help me to identify tamaracks as a species of larch. Very disappointing. Never knew they were larches. We have them here in Michigan, they're not super common like firs, maples, juniper and oak, but when i do see them i always stop to consider what fire brought them to life.

Nice video! Our english teacher said to us to rewatch it and make a presentation with 7 new words for us, but thankfully, I already know all of the words that were used in this amazing and educational video, so I'll make my presentation on fnaf lore.
110/10
would watch again

Taiga is actually my fav biome. I feel like its so calming yet mysterious. I really wanna live in one with a wooden cabin. Just imagine when it foggs and rain. You just light up the fireplace while drinking warm tea. Also looking trough the window that's covered with raindrops.

A taiga can stand out so sharply from other biomes that there can even be a steppe in the middle of it! For example, the Kungur island forest-steppe. A combination of the mystery and majesty of the taiga with a grand scale and heartwarming vibe of the hill grasslands. Very beautiful!

Currently doing my environmental science degree, and when i'm finished it's my dream to study the ecology of the boreal forests. Such a fascinating and magical place. That, and I just wanna live in a christmas card.

This biome keeps humans effectively away. In Winter it-s very cold and dark and in summer, mosquitoes will eat you to death and big fires gonna burn your ass.
But it-s okay, leave nature some space too: D

Great video all around. Specific information paired with good visuals (even image credits. This was just the depth of coverage I was looking for. Will check out your other videos as well. Thank you
reply

I've lived in this biome all my life and relatively remote places as well. It's hard to describe the feeling of standing in the forest at winter night and hear nothing but blood rushing in your ears.

At 5: 15 there's a video of a yew tree. This is an evergreen broadleaf because they have flowers and fruit. For a while I had no idea this wasn't a conifer due to it's needle like leaves.
reply

This propaganda covers up the truth about what they are doing, GMO trees and ariel spraying of herbicide. All about the money at the cost to the life of humanity outside the 1 %
reply

Did we have climate change before Humans arrived 100 thousand to 200 thousand years ago? Or only when the greedy global people met and decided that we have one?
reply

The taiga looks so comfy, I'm from a tropical area and I really want to move to canada to live in areas near these forests, I'd probably be visiting the forests a lot
reply

Don-t forget one of the most common plants here in the taiga swamps, the carnivourus sundew plant which catches insects with it-s sticky dew and long tentacles.

For those who want to see the darker side of this forest go look up -Sergei has a creepy experience in the Siberian forest-

Thank goodness the Bolsheviks no longer have control of that beautiful land. Sadly, their kind has control of ours

I just love these kinds of videos. i still can't forget the first time i learned about biomes in school.
