Lycophytes: Early Vascular Plants

We learned all about nonvascular plants, which are called bryophytes, so what came next in the evolutionary time line for plants? Eventually vascularization came about, and the first vascular plants were called lycophytes. What were these plants like? What advantages did vascularization afford them? Let's enter the first historical era of big plants!

Today's my exams ended so I am planning to see all of professor Dave explains videos

[@elitmi6346]

why would you do that

[@caffeinated324]

@@elitmi6346 exactly

[@NDKY67]

Pity this channel wasn’t around when I was a walking and mountain guide, you don’t get information like this in nature books

[@tzaidi2349]

Professor polymath! Thanks for making it possible, in the same youtube binge session, to learn the equations of QED and about the first vascular plants!! Thanks so much for all your hardwork.

[@sandrastuart3368]

Thanks!

[@satyamsoni1004]

I am new here and I am very much suprised that u know Astronomy , chemistry ,biology ,physics etc etc how ????

[@chhayaagarwal6587]

I was surprised too at first but then again he's a prodigy afterall .....He's a great teacher 😊😊🤓🤓

[@glennpearson9348]

Interesting, Professor Dave. I thought the exploration into vascular plants would be much more broad. Great work keeping it narrow and easier to absorb. I live near a rather large creek, so I'll be keeping an eye out for lycophytes as we run the paths this week! Keep up the great content!

[@bilalmaisoor]

Omg yess please do about the life cycles of cycadophytes and conifers please these are soo helpful

[@HodorsLeftShoe]

Thank you for all of your videos

[@HiveSci]

Selaginella uncinata is my favorite plant!

[@jester_1973]

I always wondered why my gloves kept exploding into flame in the ER.

[@jamiegallier2106]

Great series ❤

[@backstreetfan2887]

Thank you Professor Dave

[@moptisevare183]

Science/Biology is the best show on Earth...literally!

[@seetheworld5041]

Thank you for sharing these, very interesting to me👍🎈

[@archivist17]

Another great video!

[@heltonluisbaia2077]

amazing video

[@shubhangithorat4563]

Love from India

[@cozylife5321]

Absolutely loved your intro song ,so lit and hilarious 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@Herb-o]

Very underrated plant group, im doing my Bachelor's thesis in a complex of species in Selaginella.

[@wildpony2257]

Can you make a video about raising weed?

[@sciencenerd7639]

these plants are underappreciated

[@HH-ru4bj]

And my favorite is the princess pine.

[@WanderingWaystrel]

You should make an environmental science series. My fiancé’s an ESCI major and I’d love to better understand what he’s doing

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

it's coming soon!

[@penandpaper1177]

sir, please continue...... IIT JEE series

[@Khal1d]

you are good but it would HIGHLY be appreciated if you explained more, it seems you just tell us info as if you were a book

[@twobruhs4774]

Omg thank you

[@mohammedanwarsha4273]

2nd

[@rodneynicholson2018]

Dr Dave, Why so some scientists say plants need 16 essential nutrients, and some say they need 17 essential nutrients?

[@GGG-gf1wf]

Can someone please write the lyrics of theme song LOL

[@babarazamsucks]

I am the first

[@vicsy8]

"club moss spores are good for more than just producing more club mosses" wonder what humans are good for more than just producing more humans

[@janjuhan6372]

Nice! You have 1.07milj subscribers and they watched 3000 times your very intrested videos of your science video. Yep, its sad how you have been taken thousands of dollars with your fe trollin, but those people were idiots anyways. So do new FE debunking video, we are waiting 😘
