From the conference part 2. on dead trees. We intuitively guessed about its advantages, but here everything is measured, it turns out. Ivan Vladimirovich Rumashkin learned how spruce forests are regenerated naturally in Karelia, without planting. It recovers more happily in dead trees than just on the ground. But why? Measurements of the temperature of the air, the soil, the forest floor and the dead trees themselves showed that the fluctuations in the dead trees are less. And in general, it's a little warmer there than just on the ground. And in the difficult conditions of the north this is important. All the details are in the slides, you can look at them. Of course, when there is a goal to grow an "industrial tree" (eg pine), no one will give up traditional grooves and plantings. However, if the forest has another task (protective or climatic), then why not save on planting if the trees germinate and survive better in dead wood? And we even know why. Well, if you want to see almost live how everything grows there, then it's really worth going to the cinema and watching the movie "The forest is the keeper of life". It was also shown at the conference, since the film is directly related to the Russian Academy of Sciences - scientists provided consultations. Previously, the group already had an invitation to go to the cinema, but it was not casual, but just a very persistent recommendation. We won't force it, of course, but the film really deserves attention. And although this film is serious (of course: scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences advised), the comments (voice-over) are as simple as possible, understandable even to a child. Or an adult who is not at all interested in forests. The film is marked as 6+, so you can go with children, with a children's class, with friends, with relatives, well, or start with yourself, and then invite others. It's nice to see it twice, it's very nicely shot.
