How These Trees Reach 400 Feet

[@susanacruz2183]

crazy how i just watched a whole science video in my free time.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

NERD! :)

[@lorriahsimon7272]

Me too

[@B30pt87]

I am also a nerd!

[@LittleSpaceCase]

I'm from northern California and I feel reall lucky to have grown up with these trees. I leanred about upwelling when I was taking marine biology but I didn't know it had that much effect on fog and terrestrial ecosystems as a result. No matter how much I learn about how interconnected everything is, I continue to be astounded by it.

[@Eye_Exist]

there is something primordially uncanny for me in trees that grow this abnormally large. they are astonishing, and yet absolutely terrifying for reason i cannot put to words.

[@Aaron-E-Real]

Hey! Just stumbled on your channel after being recommended your bonsai video and I think you have real talent for making these short-form educational videos. I think most of all that your videos have a great sense of progression - each point leads to the next and builds off what was said before. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks so much! I didn't even realize my science videos have progression but you're right! Head's up, the next science one is totally different haha. thanks and take care!

I LOVED the editing at 7:05. That was SO CREATIVE. I really like how you add the little bubble whenever you mess up the pronunciation of a word haha!!! Very enjoyable video with amazing editing!! I hope to see more of these types of educational videos! I'd love to learn more about the forest!!!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

haha thanks! I've slowly phased out the bubbles but I may bring them back, i always like them :).

The quality of your videos is extremely high. The explanations are clear and elucidated in such clever ways. The music and sounds really creates an atmosphere that pulls you in to the content.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks so much!

[@StefanKhalil]

Last time I went camping in big sur my firewood got completely drenched before I could start a fire. I was not expecting that volume of water in the air out of nowhere. So life lesson; always wrap your wood.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

seems like you learned the hard way! ;)

[@jaredm2804]

I wish you were my biology teacher in school! You have a real talent of explaining in an easy to understand manner and entertaining. I was able to transpiration the information to my brain. Stomata blessings on you!

😂I'm glad you were able to absorb all of that info Jared! Thanks a bunch 🙂

[@padraigeire9739]

I enjoyed that video clip. Thank you, kabayan. It's very interesting that both the tallest tree in the world, the Redwood, and the biggest tree in the world, the Sequoia are both found in Northern California. Amazing.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

It truly is amazing. Thank you so much!

[@citratune7830]

You just dont seem to miss. I’m not you, I cant even describe how you do your videos with all of that awesome thought and effort behind it, but I can say that it feels like a documentary that doesnt just want to give you information about a topic. a documentary without the mundane part.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks so much! This was my first science video and I wanted to make it for years! I'm glad you like it. Cheers!

[@TallTreesClub]

The answer is moisture. Did you know the tallest ones grew 4 years worth of height gain in single driest years that had less fog and rain? So fog is one way to get water. So happens, the tallest hemlock and maple known are in those parks also, and also grew extra height during the drought years, although I don't know if those two species grew 4 years worth in a single year.

[@UCSfPWzAzDreB5_EdFwzcbrQ]

This was such a refreshing and enjoyable way to learn! Hope to see more in the future

[@chieinsorio2951]

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

[@ChucoHiker]

Awesome production effort in this video. I like how you break down the process of water movement through the ecosystem. It’s amazing how much energy is moved around the planet through evapotranspiration, one of the many things that are fun to ponder! It’s also cool to think about how much of the world works through equalizing a gradient, whether it’s heat transfer through a thermal gradient, wind from a pressure gradient, water movement through a hydraulic gradient, etc. It’s a simple process at its core, but it drives such an intricate matrix of outcomes and interactions: climate, cellular processes, or just water moving through the planet. It’s a long comment, but I thoroughly enjoyed the effort and wonder you put into this. From a hydrologist to a biologist, I’m inspired man.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

I love the way you put it. One of my favorite concepts is diffusion and how it pretty much drives all natural phenomenon! Super cool stuff, I wanna do a video on it in the future :)

[@ChucoHiker]

@@TheBackpackingBiologist I’ll watch it when you do! I occasionally talk about hydrology and geology of my area in my videos, but you really go the extra mile and make it the center point of the video instead of just a little mentioned blurb. I sincerely believe if you learn more about the outdoors and what makes it special in your area, you care about it more. Enough wind out of me, just want to say this video really struck a chord. I may have to do something that focuses on hydrology in my locale now. Hmmmm.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

You should definitely add more hydrology to your vids. If you’re knowledgeable of something people would want to know about it!

Please explain how water collection from the tree increases upwelling?

Hi Mario! To my knowledge, the process of upwelling is not affected by water collection. Upwelling is a gigantic meteorological event that is driven by wind, temperature and even the rotation of the Earth, so I don't think trees have any effect of it. Could be wrong though, I'll let you know!
