Loved your presentation. I am a licensed retired forester from Maine. Still love the woods.

[@Soviless99]

I just subscribed. Gardener here. Just yesterday I was pulling up to a clients and admired what looked like to be some young white pines, just a little smaller than the one you showed earlier in the video. I love the structure the young trees have . Thank you for helping me navigate the woods more ! This video was recommended to me!

This must be one of the most useful and informative channels on KZbin. I love your videos, and as a recently new landowner, I find the content extremely relevant to my situation. Just signed up to silvicultural, looking forward to future interesting videos! ❤️👏👏👏

I checked on an Increment Borer. Those are quite pricey But I’ll be getting one next year.

Question: if you remove timber out of circulation from a forest, does it cause a negative effect from other trees, in the long term? Because you do remove slowly but surely vital minerals which are essential for other trees/plants. Is there any research done to this? Because it does not make sense to me that you cannot only take from a forest whiout a price tag to it. Something has to be given back.

[@HeJurm]

About 95% of wood is co2 based cellulose, hemicelluloce and lignin. Only a small amount is extractives. Most nutrients are in the foliage and roots, which are left to decompose in the forest. So you mostly only remove co2 from the forest, which has been accumulated from the air by photosynthesis.

@@HeJurm Oh thank you I did not knew this.

Are their monitoring devices that attach to trees to measure growth?

[@thetimberlandinvestor]

I believe they do sell bands that can measure stem expansion over a single season, but it's easier to just establish a permanent inventory plot and mark/number trees to keep track of their diameters and thus growth every year or every few years.

They get big and tall faster?

[@thetimberlandinvestor]

TLDR: Yes
