Tree Ferns & Tessellated Pavement/ Ruining the Beach Community

[@durwoodmaccool890]

When I was a kid I found out about tree ferns somehow and was really taken with the idea of a tree that was a fern. I wish they grew around where I live. Thanks for another great video, I also liked the Linux plug.

[@joannevanegmond592]

Vancouver Island is a temperate rainforest too, I love the life on life on life. I live the eastern side of the island which is in a rain shadow. But the diversity is just as spectacular! But these prolonged droughts are seriously affecting the water needing western red cedar thuja pilcata and yellow cedar callitropsis nootkatensis.

[@Unkn0wn1133]

Would love the see a BC rainforest episode, with Calypso orchids.

[@SeaWasp]

Parksville boy here, living in Sooke. Would be awesome to see him botanize the southern West Coast, and the northern part of the island, around Nootka Sound

[@richarddavies7419]

That's cross-bedding in the sandstone, signs of dunes on a windy beach or desert environment. On a small scale (flatter angles) cross-bedding also occurs in water.

[@pacogimanes]

I concur. Although water cross-bedding tends to be of a steeper angle when produced by underwater currents (ripples) and shallower angles when produced by wind currents (dunes). A flat lamination in the sand granulometric range would also imply a higher velocity current.

I vote you hit New Zealand and Cyathea medullaris and then do s stop over to Lord Howe Island and the great Kentia palm forests. The Seychelles..Coco de mer palm..I wait for all that one day.

I know its not nealy as pleasant when you're physically there, but being stuck in a (sub)urban plains environment, the urban botany videos give me some hope for the world, plus your commentary on humanized and terraformed landscapes is hilariously entertaining. Also I like trains so train yard botany is a double whammy.

‘A Forest Journey’ by John Perlin, originally published in 1989 was recently released by Patagonia in February 2023 is an absolutely fascinating read! (I mean, if you’re fascinated by stuff like that… which most of us commenting here probably will be) .., it’s a great study of the history and devastation of forests/wood products by humanity in the pursuit of “growth”…or you know, “civilization” and what the shit! Check it out!

[@StuffandThings_]

Whats even worse is that they tried to turn New Zealand into that. Like, sure, ruining the temperate rainforests of Britain is bad enough. But ruining a lost world with world class biodiversity and unique landscapes to make it match the destroyed landscapes of home? I honestly cannot believe that anyone could do such a thing.

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

See also : Alternation of generations... Gametophyte phase, sporophyte phase. In Angiosperms, the pollen grain is the Gametophyte. In tree ferns, the Gametophyte resembles a little heart shaped plantlet the size of a thumb, which germinates from a spore. www.researchgate.net/publication/226855253_Tree_Ferns_Biotechnology_From_Spores_to_Sporophytes Gametophytes are haploid (half as many chromosomes/genetic material as the parents). The Gametophyte produces both egg and sperm on it, but generally at different times in order to promote outcrossing & genetic diversity. It is on the Gametophyte that the actual "banging" and merging of genetic material (haploid + haploid = diploid aka a full set of genes) occurs. Once this happen, the plant that we actually think of when we think of a tree fern starts growing.

[@graemeure9947]

Nice to see but buggar the leeches. Separating Dicksonia from Cyathea is much easier than this: Cyathea fronds have scales and no hairs(although some scales can be very narrow and hairlike) while Dicksonia have hairs and no scales, thus the unfurling frond that you fondle is a Cyathea as it has scales.

So, the ferns, ancient things, reproduce through spores? Or? Can you speak more to the reproduction of gametophytes in future videos?

[@peopleeps4756]

Hello my friend I hope you dont mind me answering! All plants reproduce by alternating generations in a diplohaplontic lifestyle. Sporophytes, which are the usual big trees flowers and bushes we see, produce spores (pollen). Gametophytes, which are usually consumed for the development of the baby sporophyte in the seed, produce gametes (sperm and eggs). So plants produce both spores and sperm/eggs! Another cool thing about this is that mosses and liverworts reverse this system, where the big visible parts are the gametophytes and the capsules they create are the sporophytes!

[@peopleeps4756]

Oh also sorry forgot to mention how seedless plants grow sporophytes! So instead of a seed, ferns will release their spores. When one of these spores land they grow into a gametophyte mat that's super tiny and sometimes heart shaped ❤. When this gets fertilized by a sperm, the ferns (sporophyte) we see grow out of it, soon becoming the dominant generation!
