@@Geodiode "Established just outside Narsarsuaq in 1954 when arborists became aware that it wasn’t Greenland’s soil that had prevented forestation from taking place, Arboretum Groenlandicum began as a place for species of trees native to the country to be given a fresh shot a life in a new locale. But once they got started, scientists figured why stop there? The experiment at Narsarsuaq became a sort of scientific articulation of the theory “if you build it, they will come,” testing the limits of cultivating an effective, natural, yet wholly fabricated forest environment. What resulted was a small forest that’s about as technicolor (for an arctic pine forest) as any on the planet. Over the following decades, saplings and seeds of boreal trees and shrubs were borrowed from all over the northern hemisphere. And by the dawn of the new millennia, the greenery at Arboretum Groenlandicum was thriving. Within its nearly 500 acres lived nearly all the subarctic and northern subalpine tree-line species found in the Northern Hemisphere, including species like lodgepole pine commonly associated with the American Rocky Mountains, Siberian larch, Norwegian spruces, Scots pine, Himalaya birch, a diverse assortment of broadleaved trees, and many more." www.atlasobscura.com/places/arboretum-groenlandicum "Besides the collection expeditions, planting have continued in Narsarsuaq of Siberian larch, especially of the Arkhangelsk provenance in Russia, delivered from Iceland. In all 75,000 small plants of Siberian larch have been planted in the Greenland Arboretum form 1992-2002. The most suitable planting locations in Greenland are deep in the fjords, sheltered from the foehn winds and in areas where trees can be helped to establish by native brushwood which improves the local climate. Areas should be free of sheep or fenced in. A nursery has been established at the research station at Upernaviarssuk (10 km from Julianehåb) by the local forestry officer, Poul Bjerge. It was here that plants were produced earlier, but during the later years plants have been primarily delivered from the Arboretum in Hørsholm, Denmark, Iceland and northern Norway or dug up as small seedlings at diverse tree-line areas." ign.ku.dk/english/about/arboreta/arboretum-greenland/forest-plantations/

@@ia8018 This is just amazing. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea. I have pinned this!

​@@ia8018 i like grilled cheese

@@antimatter162 that's cancerous af 😍

@@paige172 yeeees

It's a nice image. But remember your mosquito repellant, and thick winter clothing for the other extreme ;)

And a 3 metres tall bear knocks your door because it hungry

and lots of ghosts...paranormal phenomenon..etc..etc....it's awesome

Lembre-se de manter a manutenção do aquecedor em dia, um bom estoque de alimentos durante o inverno. O sol não costuma ficar mais que três ou quatro horas no céu nesse época e, dada a distância da civilização, você estará a um azar da vida eterna.

I love taiga the conifers are the best

I live in a middle of Scandinavian Taiga!

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese

That's because of the extremely low temperatures

@@PawanSingh-kb8rx Im not a fan of low temperature

@@PawanSingh-kb8rx the mosquitos are also extremely rampant during the warm weather. So much that you have to wear a full body suit

What about that tiger, though?

Definitely a place to get away from other humans and crowds!

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of wolves, not tigers, except for Siberian tigers, very, very rare. Wolves aka grey wolves and timber wolves are more common. Just don't bring your dog to the boreal forest, wolves prey on them. I know.@@polapusta7467

@@Geodiode Yeah you're right, I've only been there in the summer. The summers are mild (20 celsius max in the highest elevations), I think the reason the forests transition to conifers above 5000 feet is because of a cooler temperature range it requires, not just lowest possible temperatures you can get in the winter. I think that's what separates it from a subarctic type climate.

Sorry if I'm not using metric, I meant to say ~1.5 km

Because of my Minecraft knowledge I know that the only animal in the forest is the fox. Also the only two plants that grow are spruce and berries. I’m surprised this video didn’t include this. Obviously didn’t do their research.

I had a trip to Yukon territory of Canada after border was just opened for travellers. In general, Taiga forest ends at higher elevation when alpine tundra appear. Or you go to far North, when the colder weather is appearing, the Taiga forest is ending as well. I will have a book chapter publishing, in 2021. [Implement and Analysis of Current Ecosystem classification in Western Utah of United States & Yukon Territory of Canada]

Nice. Be ready for those long dark winters though!

Just make sure to stay on the trails. The wilder parts of the forests are beautiful but extremely difficult terrain. I live in a remote part of Canada and hunt regularly. I stay close to the trails and dirt roads, because it's really easy to get tur Ed around and lost.

​@speakingwithoutnet I live in the Appalachian region of Canada and I think you're right but this applies to any vast/dense mountainous forests. Ive been to costa rica and the lush jungle is also nothing to take lightly!

Interesting. I didn't know about Kungur Island.

@@Geodiode It's called island steppe because it's isolated from the main steppe, but yeah. Btw, kungur steppe is not alone, there's also an isolated forest-steppe in the near Bashkortostan, just to the east from Ufa Plateau (big, curved area of hills and forests if you look on the map). This is how hills and mountains influence the climate, I guess.

cheese

I dont know if its "harsher" but its different.

I live in Yakutsk, and sometimes I go out of the city to get some air in the forest. the feeling that there is a forest wall in front of you for several hundred kilometres is little scary!

it's a shame that recently there was a huge fire in the Yakut taiga, so many trees were damaged, but they have already started to grow again, I hope that they will grow soon

@@Geodiode Thanks for your response. the tourists are really missing out on the authenticity and natural beauty of the Greek mainland/inland. But i guess that's a good thing because these lovely areas will hopefully remain relatively untouched as hidden gems. Enough has already been deforested & tampered with. I was so fascinated when you discussed tree growth. I didn''t realise that temperature is just as important as important as rainfall. The fact that areas with Taiga forest have the same annual rainfall as desert areas. wow. I really enjoyed the "Temperate Forests" episode. so much detail. I look forward to new videos. The best channel on youtube! I was showing my family members your video on the Asian Monsoon, especially with Super Cyclone Amphan just hitting India and Bangladesh

cheese is amazing

@@Geodiode Hi GeoDiode, thank you for your answer. It's always nice to get a direct response from a content creator. Looking forward for more. PS: I know it's weird to ask this, but in which type of Koppen climate zone do you live?

You are so welcome

Most welcome 😊

Obrigado!

Depends on where you are in Canada. the Boreal forest streches down into cottage country in Ontario, just a couple hours drive north of Toronto. Here's a link that might help you. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pYeUrq6Fq6CKx2Q.htmlsi=_ZevmZhO4-ktxbxP It's a TVO documentary

Spasibo! Thanks very much! Look out for my video on Russia premiering in 1 week from now, and share with your friends! 😉

Thanks Rosie! Yes, I hope you enjoy the rest of this series, and others. And smash that Subscribe button! ;)

Yep, well there are parts of Siberia that are just so remote that I don't think even smoke from a fire could save you. And for much of it, it's swampy ground so when the weather has not frozen the ground, they couldn't get to you except maybe by helicopter

@@Geodiode yeah i will, i bet that zone between taiga and tundra is a place im looking for :))

That's a very good point. Plants are pretty magical, but it's all really science (and a lot of natural selection).

Interesting concept! Maybe one could measure factors such as light reflection, photosynthetic absorption and efficiency. I suggest we need a ratio of leaf area solar flux/photosynthetic output (sugars, cellulose and lignin). Considering the efficiency of photosynthesis and that leaves radiate heat (think black body radiation) very close the the rate they absorb heat, i.e., compare a leaf that photosynthesizes vs. one that does not with all other variable being equal, why would be much temperature difference? Simply, compare a functional conifer leaf to a tooth pick with the same area, orientation, solar flux, and color…what 's the difference in temperature?

@@Geodiode I know in Sweden spruce(mostly Norwegian) made up 41% of the industry and pine trees 39%. Pine is better for wood planks so it's more popular in the south (Småland etc), while spruce and paper dominate in the north (Lappland etc). There is also a growing industry of what we call "noble trees", oak and beech and the like, it's all going to kitchen interiors and high-end Scandinavian furniture. This mostly in the very south with similar climate to western Europe. I love driving here as a short drive will move you to different types of forest depending on the owners. Some are zone pushers, others don't care and have untouched forest, many are a bit boring and efficient, optimized to for the forest industry. Also in the forest are pockets of human culture, next to lakes and rivers are usually first rich clay soil perfect for farming, then meadows with old oaks here and there, slowly and increasing is the amounts of rocks sticking up in the grass until the forest begins again. The ice age really did a number on us.

Thanks - Glad I could help!

ok

Glad you like them!

How is like living in Alaska?

@@user-vc7po3mw6e it's incredible! Beautiful, fresh air, clean water, plenty of fish and game. But it's a small town and has all of those things as well
