Why doesn't the Nile create greater productivity where it lets out?

[@AtlasPro1]

The Nile is home to one of the most intensive agricultural lands in the world. Going back thousands of years the Egyptians would capture its flood waters to allow nutrient-rich sediments to be deposited. An irrigation system like this persists to this day, reducing the total nutrients exiting the river through the delta. Without those nutrients, you're not going to have a spike in productivity.

[@deathpigeon2]

@@AtlasPro1 Fascinating! So, then, we could potentially stop the sorts of mass die offs of fish from rivers dumping fertilizer into the ocean you talked about with a sufficiently advanced irrigation system?

[@AtlasPro1]

It really depends on the river. For ones like the Amazon and Mississippi, it'd be more effective to stop stripping the land of its vegetation to stop erosion from draining all the nutrients away.

Penetration of light into seawater, however, is nearly constant across the oceans - scientists would call it a "boundary condition" (which is fixed) not a limiting factor. . . . But the supply of the oceans' top layers with nutrients varies a lot between locations, and it strongly impacts local life activity (more nutrients means more activity or productivity), which was the message of the video.

The independent measurement parameter is mass. While not wanting to rain on this xlnt parade, consider that coral productivity 3:42 is skewed by calcium (a heavy alkali metal) which the polyps capture to make their shells. By comparison, forests 4:05 capture carbon and oxygen (low-mass nonmetals) to make cellulose for their bodies. Coral biomes put a thumb on the scale with calcium carbonate. What would happen to the comparison by counting only the polyps' body mass alone? I suspect forests would pop up.

[@avabethmcghee3048]

Yes, let's focus on the numbers to win a pissing match. Throw away the science that produced those numbers; you NEED to be RIGHT.

[@disgustedandamused]

@@avabethmcghee3048 Not necessarily. Ecologists (on land, at least) often make a point of measuring bioproductivity by comparing biomass amounts only after they've literally de-hydrated all the water out -- "dry biomass fraction". That's because it can often be very hard to get good comparable measurements of plant, etc material; once you've "harvested" it in a form that makes it possible to weigh it, some dehydration is almost bound to happen, plus differing plant materials can have differing proportions of water in their natural state. So drying out all the water became one of the standards for coming up with these standardized measurements of biomass in an ecosystem. Trying to calculate biologically active material by only measuring the carbon involved is another strategy. So Michie TN may have a good point. Anyone trying to come up with a solid method for comparing relative biological activity between two ecosystems can run into all sorts of interesting twists. In fact, figuring out how those twists change the meaning of previous and ongoing research is probably a pretty good way to earn a thesis or even a research career. Although I'd bet, even with some tweaks to allow for coral's use of calcium in their structures compared to say, trees -- they still are substantial contributor's to total biomass.

Firstly, let me say that this video is wonderfully informative - just like all the other Atlas Pro videos I have seen so far! Secondly, it provokes the question of why we humans are not trying to create regions with lots of artificial upwellings which could significantly increase the biological productivity of the oceans. Beneficial outcomes of this would include: increased sequestration of CO2, reduction of the rate of ocean acidification, significant increase in fish stocks which could supply much needed protein for people, and could even be used to protect coral reefs from bleaching by keeping them cool so they don't overheat. As well as this, the size and power of tropical cyclones could be reduced by preventing the ocean surface from getting to much warmer in the areas where they are formed. All the technology needed to do this on a vast scale already exists, because none of it is 'rocket science'. What is needed is for people to start thinking outside of the bureaucratic square.

The question I keep seeking an answer for is what would happen if we create artificial archipelagos of of underwater floating shelves within the euphotic zone which carry artificial coral reefs and other flora/fauna (as well as a base for floating cities/islands). Could sea life be able to hop over to the next shelf in the chain? Would it somehow mess up the eco-cycle?

[@BonaparteBardithion]

We could put artificial places for life to settle. Sea life settles on trash, sculptures, the side of ships, you name it. The big obstacle would be keeping the plant life or plankton alive without sunlight. We would need to put in a sturdy long lasting sunlamp of some kind that also has a sufficiently small ecological foot print. Otherwise our floaties are stuck in the photic zone.

[@AZZAMNO1]

i was thinking of the same thing! :D why don't we create some sort of floating platform where the plants will grow below it

[@sketch2620]

Floating wouldn't be ideal; as nutrients build up, it would sink. You'd need heavy pylons, with some sort of large durable net or lattice between them, as a starter medium for life to grow on.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

@@breakthrough673 We put permanant sunlamps in the aphotic zone? I figured it was implied that we already put floaties out, both deliberately and otherwise.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

@@breakthrough673 I figured I'd implied that already. My bad. Surface areas still aren't really the issue though, not that deep

Hi man. I never comment on yt videos, but i've been watching some of yours lately and every topic you touch you're able to explain in such a detailed but very clear way. I also love the maps and graphic charts you make, they are a great visual aid. This being said, keep up the good work. You're doing something good here and i think you have a real talent. Thank you for your videos and take care.

@Mohit Patel Oceans have hurricanes.

[@J7Handle]

@Mohit Patel No, in the tropics you get some 20 tropical storms a year or something along those lines. A few hurricanes. This is for the atlantic, I'm not entirely aware of the numbers for other regions, but the ocean is not lacking in rain.

[@neonlight1214]

On oceans rain happens rarely because clouds move faster than in-land. But also they are the hotspot for torrential rain that happen in short time

Why doesn't the river Nile produce the same effect as the ones you mention?

[@LLlap]

Perhaps because it was farmed for ten thousand years at least?

[@FinoClips]

I am pretty sure is because the Nilo ends in the Mediterranean sea, and the rest of thise rivers ends in Oceans

[@LuddyFish_]

It could be that the Nile ends up in mediterranean sea which is almost cut off from the open ocean or that it needs to pass through egypt which is mostly a desert. But still, the egyptians managed to live there so the desert might not be as big as a factor.

[@edz3669]

@@LuddyFish_ The Egyptian civilization survived with the Nile river because of the predictable floods that the river made and with that they put their plantations in those areas so it could get a lot of water and grow faster. PS: Don't believe 100% in my explanation because i could easily misunderstood some of this things but the overall idea of why the Egyptians survived there was because of the flooding of the Nile river

[@SupersuMC]

Probably because all the nutrients get taken up by the delta.

[@squidsquid7487]

But the actual requirement to be classified as a desert has to due with how much precipitation an area gets, per year. It's why Antartica is a desert. It almost never snows there. It's mainly just snow on the ground being picked up by the wind. Oceans however, get more than enough rain to not be classified as a desert.
