More of everything
This a new film (2021) in which researchers analyse the Swedish forestry model. Both aspects of biodiversity and carbon sequestration are discussed. The film has it’s own website or you can watch it here.
Bringing back the light
Canadian film om restauration of plantations by selectively removing trees in order to bring more light to the forest floor. Exemplary collaboration between forest ecologists and native people in Western Canada.
Suzanne Simard on fungal networks
Trees in forests are linked together by a network of mycorrhiza (symbiosis between plants and fungi). One reason why it is important to maintain those networks is because they are involved in carbon sequestration. In order to maintain the below-ground fungal network, harrowing (plowing) should be avoided. See the TED talk “The networked beauty of forests” by Professor Suzanne Simard, Department of Forestry, University of British Columbia:
Quote from the presentation: “The whole world wipes its nose on our old-growth forests”. Read more about the author at her university website.
