How Wildfires Become Wildflowers

- Last fall's wildfires in Southern California have encouraged an abundance of wildflowers to grow in the area, but can the ecosystem of the Santa Monica Mountains continue to recover from such frequent fires?

This is my favourite video you've done in the 5 years I've been subscribed to you. I loved getting to see what the scientists actually did including a look at the forms they fill out. When talking about biodiversity, statistics on the number of species per unit area are often compared but this is the first time I've actually seen the hard work and meticulous detail required by scientists to get them. I hope you're able to do more on-location videos. Nice work with the editing of the video too (the cuts seemed natural with the video and the narration/interview responses). 💖
Thank you so, so much for this comment. This is one of my favorite videos as well, but I was worried about how it would be received because it's different from the types of videos I've been releasing recently. I really want to be doing more on-location videos like this, so I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and got to see something new too!
Glad you still make videos!
I just did an internship where we did transects of sites that were going to be restored back into a native ecosystem so this was amazing to see the same method done to monitor native species in a different way. Loved the video!
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you
Fascinating to see all of the work that goes into this data collection.
Yeah! This was completely new to me. I had never considered how these kinds of things were tracked and monitored, and it turns out it’s due to the hard work of lots of people over lots and lots of time!
My backyard is part of the Santa Monica Mountains, although within the City of L.A. This year, whether due to the pandemic or not, there are so many more coyote sightings; at least according to my neighbors and my own experience. They are even out during the day, which was unheard of before. Their howling at night is like a Halloween sound clip. Not sure if any studies are being conducted about the the effect of the pandemic on wildlife. Sorry, I know this is probably not the right place to comment on this subject, but it reminded me that not only fire affect nature. I figure I write it here anyways. Loved this video. Thank you for posting.
Lucky. That sounds like a cool adventure. Thanks for sharing.
As was said and seamingly souperflouse: Such much beatiful flowers!
Nature shows the truth that all endings are new beginnings. Thanks for sharing. :)
Cool! I learned a bunch of things :D
I love your videos
Awesome video, I grew up in this area so this was an especially enlightening video for me. Thanks for doing what you do!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s a really unique area, it must have been cool to grow up here!
Wow. That is so awesome that you get to hang with the NPR crowd. So cool. :-)
We spoke about chaparral habitats and pyrophytes in my plant anatomy class this semester! This was an awesome video and I loved the way you presented the material.
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad that it complemented what you were learning in class :)
@@AlexDainisPhD I'm glad you made it! I have watched for a long time, and also loved following your grad school journey and seeing another woman in science thrive! Thank you for your channel.
This is such amazing and detailed work! Tell Mark and Andrew thanks 😊 and a great video, Dr. Alex!!
I just realized that I don’t know if you’re a Dr yet! Ah well, it’ll apply soon enough! 😆
I am a Dr. now! And it *is* super detailed and great work! It takes a lot of dedication and it was really cool to get the chance to spend a day with them in the field!
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing, I learned a lot about how this science is done.
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Very informative! Mark looks like he has a very fun job.
Right?! This seems like a pretty amazing career!
Can you do a video on cannabis? Love your stress video!

That was a terrible fire and happened back in the 80s as well people forgot about that should not be happening but the flower sure are cool thank you for sharing keep up the good work God bless Ken
Oh wait this is actually a great channel.... 😳🙏
Tree's!!!!!!! Plant tree's
Don't need to. As stated in the video, the environment is adapted to regular wildfires. Natural succession (just google 'secondary succession') will cause trees to go back, but for that to happen propely and naturally as it has been happening for hundreds of thousands of years, there needs to be plenty of rainfall and not a too rapid follow up of another wildfire.
I've seen a 3 year old flower before.... Person keeps it in vegetation phrase
are you mixed with Asian?
you have a beautiful smile
