Thank you for the video. Mind if you can share the tutorial on how exactly to do this AI vegetation mapping?
This is very informative. Loved every piece of it
Hi Thank you for this helpful video I have a question, regarding the rock part, shouldn't why put the rock part inside the core instead of the sampling bag to prevent soil to enter in the place of the rock part in the core? I mean the sample now is the volume of the core + the volume of the rock part
Thanks for getting in touch. From our science team: "Sample the core to the exact depth increment required. Therefore not over sampling the soil just to fill the core volume. This will result in the correct mass of soil sampled regardless if the rock is in the bag or put back into the core."
Buddleja only naturalises in the UK in areas where the soil is poor. It is acts as a pioneer plant and improves the soil which then encourages other plants to grow. As the soil improves the buddleja will die but will self seed elsewhere to improve the soil. It also provides nectar for bees and butterflies. A very misunderstood species but its benefits are now being recognised in the UK and elsewhere. There are plenty of subspecies that do not self seed easily or are sterile and only the davidii is the one that has the inaccurate reputation.
What hybrids are this ? I'm really interested or where can I find seeds or stuff to read about this radiata pines. Thank you
what quantity of microplastics (molar weight?) is incorporated in sea-sourced gels?
Beautiful work team.
This is such an incredible and touching story… thank you
😅😅😅well information good show you 😅😅😅
We need that in Britain. Please someone - bring it over!
Cheese
And when the radiata-pine is harvested ......! The highly erodible steeplands need to go back into permanent native forest cover.
P r o m o s m
I think given the name of this documentary you should have talked about why the trees didn't grow back after they were all cut down initially. I'm guessing it was erosion but it seems like they would have grown back at some point I guess all the topsoil was eroded 🤔
Here in south Georgia the old timers used to pile the giant pines after cutting them and burn them on the spot . They were clearing for farmland and there was no big timber industry around or even one big enough to handle all that extra wood . They didn't see it as wasting as they were after farmland and there were nothing but trees as far as the eye "couldn't" 😂 see any way. They were trying to put food in their mouths. So no it wasn't waste.
The trees only grow back if you dont pave the land into a parking lot . Or clear it for farmland. Logging is not deforestation. Your suburb or farm is .
thank you for a great demonstration
Nice triangles old boys club love that! Nga Mihi bahahaha
dumb waste of time
Beautiful 😍
This idea makes no sense. How well do drones fly in rain? They don't. How well do drones fly in heavy wind? They don't. How well do drone batteries do in the cold? Terribly. So you are only going to "log" when it is nice weather. How are you going to charge these drone in the middle of nowhere? Gas generators? Do you know how expensive a drone is? Especially one that could theoretically carry hundred-pound logs around? The technology to pull something like this off, regardless of cost is decades off. Add cost into the equation and this technology may never be useful when comparing it to human labor. Also, it would be very inefficient to cut each tree into individual, project-specific lumber dimensions. Imagine a contractor needing lumber for a house, and he has to wait for your company to go cut down his trees, fly them around, AIR DRY them, which takes months at best in a perfect climate. Then ship them to him. Only to find out you are a few boards short... Now what? He waits for the entire process to start over again? Imagine all the waste you would create by cutting trees up like that too. You'd be essentially trying to play jenga with each tree. Seeing how many different odd sized lumber pieces you could get out of it. Instead of just milling it effectively using the entire tree. Focus on practical solutions that can be implemented in the near future. Day dreaming in make belive land isn't going to help anyone.
This shit is sad
Hi been trying to find out what happened to the release of Eadya daenerys.Cant find any up to date info.Was there a problem.Thanks.
Still has a slash problem. The slash could be chipped at turned into biochar to lock in the carbon instead of letting be methane compost.
Can you extract bio oil...or crude oil with this hydrothermal?
Good afternoon, where you can access the software Thank you
What would be the effect of adding cellulose producing bacteria inside the fermentation tank with wood pulp?? Give me your email id
Do you mean ‘bacteria that produce cellulose’ or ‘bacteria that produce the enzyme cellulase’? If you can provide an email I can also answer direct.

The quick growing pine trees provide cover for shade loving native plants such as tree ferns to grow and flourish. They can be thinned out later to allow more native trees to grow. It seems to be a relationship that works. NZ has several native pine trees including the Kahikatea (White pine), Kauri, and Rimu, but they are very slow growing. Besides, the quick growing pines absorb carbon dioxide, and release oxygen.
Does it support biodiversity though? Pine monocultures do more harm than good to the environment through decreased biodiversity and soil acidification, as well as wilding seedlings.
• Puruki forest supports a diverse and rich community of native plant species under the forest canopy, which in turn support a range of native fauna. This is also the case for many other pine forests that has native forests nearby to act as a seed source, or a seed bank of native species. This rich native understory then provides a habitat for native fauna, some of which is critically endangered. For more information, please see www.nzgeo.com/stories/pine-forest-natives/. • One of the reasons why pine forest can act as effective nurseries for native tree species is because of how they affect the pH of the soil - most of our native tree species prefer acidic soil, and therefore using pine to help restore the natural soil conditions provides a pathway to help them re-establish in areas where native have previously been cleared for agriculture. This is a critical step as agricultural land management often involves the use of lime, which raises the soil pH, making the soil unsuitable for native tree species. For more information, please see: sindi.landcareresearch.co.nz/Content/HelppH.html • Radiata pine is a very low spread risk species. Various other conifers do have a high risk of spread, due to producing large numbers of seed at an early stage, or producing small seeds that travels easily on the wind. By comparison, radiata pine produces small numbers of large seed that are poorly dispersed by wind. While a crop of radiata can produces a large number of wildings, they are generally within the confines of the existing plantation, and do not readily spread outside.

2.57 to 3.01 looks really interesting. The wind puff going ahead of the fire looks like turbulent convection from the fire or is it just the normal wind??

All this for safe and affordable sanitation? Does Scion really believe this technology could be affordable to those who need it and useful going forward into a sustainable society that embraces the nutrient cycle?
What species?
This trial contains selected clones of C. marcocarpa and C. lusitanica from our breeding programme. They are planted in 10x10 tree blocks hence the patchwork effect in the video.
Acho esta tecnologia importante para incentivar os mais novos a interessarem-se pela exploração florestal. isto será um bom jogo e não passará disso, penso eu. CENTRAL DE MUNDÃO, LDA - PORTUGAL
What have you auzzies smoked to get that!?!?! :D
Scion is a Crown Research Institute driving innovation and growth from New Zealand's forestry. New Zealand not Auzzies.
"I speak to you as a warner and I warn against the ways of evil men. They are selfish men unheedful of the good of others, the good which includes them. Their thoughts do not extend beyond themselves and their own, they seek to isolate themselves from mankind when the good of mankind is an issue. They do not know what should be done and what should not be done, they do not understand the nature of good conduct and the path of Truth. They say, "Mankind has no need of goodness, it has no moral foundation. There is no way of knowing Truth, there is no Supreme Spirit, no Creating God. All creation is the result of chance, and lust is the only cause of birth. The only purpose of life is an earthly one, we begin and end in the dust". Set in the ways of this belief, these unconscious soulspirits dutifully serve the cause of evil, working, though they know not, for the destruction of mankind. They taint their soulspirits with unrestricted desires and stain them with uncontrolled urges. Full of arrogance and deceit they ride, rough-shod, over the spiritual inclinations of others and hold fast to their own dark belief. Their destructive work is carried on in the name of progress. Yet with all they have they are unhappy and discontented. They are loaded with many unnecessary cares and their restless thoughts never give them peace. They fruitlessly seek happiness in sensual enjoyments, in pleasure and gaiety, in the frivolities of life, in drinking and gambling, in luxury and ease, firmly believing they will find it there, that life can offer no more. They are bound fast with fetters of worldliness, they are blind and insensitive to anything else. They seethe within; anger, spitefulness, indignation and malice are relieving outlets. They seek refuge in lies and deceit, they hope for relief in outbursts of temper, in lust and sensuality and in foul language. Their only aim is to amass wealth and possessions, or to live a life of idleness and ease, they cannot understand what drives them on. They say, "What I have I have earned, it is my own, with it I will acquire whatever I need to satisfy my desires. I have amassed riches, I am praised and honoured. I can buy what I desire, I will enjoy life, I am a success, who else is like me? I give charity, I fulfil my religious obligations, I am sought after by those who need advice and help. I live comfortably, I eat well, I have all I need". This they say, but are they really happy and at peace, are they really successful having all they want? No, they speak from the darkness of delusion, though they know not. They have been deceived by the trap of earthly conditions, they have fallen prey to the alluring phantoms of the senses. They are entangled in a net of delusion, they wander in the deep fog of illusion. They are slaves to their urges, captives of their cravings, they are bound and helpless in a chariot drawn by runaway horses, carried swiftly towards the yawning abyss. Week men become drunk with heady draughts of power and riches, they are carried away by their own arrogance and conceit. They try to turn earthly condition towards serving their own ends and struggle futilely against The Law. Willing slaves of arrogance and selfishness, helpless victims in the stormy seas of rage, lust and violence, these servants of evil hate the divinity within themselves. They hate and fear the small still voice inside. They stifle it, they smother it under the loud clamour of gaiety. They seek solace in strong wine, in sense-stimulation entertainment and in spirit-poisoning drugs. Stand aside, let them be carried swiftly to the place of sorrow and vain regret! Hear my voice and do not fall into the trap of worldliness, do not fall willing victims to the allurements of phantoms. Long for reality, be satisfied with nothing less than Truth. Do not reject the scriptures, study them carefully and you will have a guide through life. They will reveal the right and the wrong, follow their light, do what has to be done, no more is expected of you. Heed what I say, for I am your friend." - The Kolbrin, Wisdom of the Ages, Chapter Six, The Teachings of Elidor 5
