The Return of Old Growth Forests скачать в хорошем качестве

The Return of Old Growth Forests

Much of New England's second-growth forest is on a trajectory toward old-growth, following the mid-1800's abandonment of cleared agricultural lands. However, there is increased pressure to manage these forests, which will stall their return to their natural state. This documentary film describes the characteristics and great importance of "old growth" New England (and other northeastern) forests. Atmospheric physicist Anastassia Makarieva explains the "Biotic Pump" theory, which describes the crucial role that natural, mature, native forests play in regulating the Earth's winds and hydrologic cycle, and the biotic pump's feedback loop that sustains forests. Environmental scientist Margery Winters discusses "morticulture", the role of fallen logs and hollow trees in the ecology of the forest and its soil. Ed Faison, Senior Ecologist at Highstead, talks about the ecological significance of older, wild forests.

If you find that certain sounds are too loud (eg, background soft breezes), it may be because the "Stable Volume" setting is turned on. This setting boosts lower volume level sounds, and may make them objectionably loud. You can find this setting by clicking the gear wheel "settings" icon at the lower right of the screen. Turn off "Stable Volume". 2. The "Ambient mode" setting casts a soft glow around a video, which you may not like. You can find this setting by clicking the gear wheel "settings" icon at the lower right of the screen. Turn off "Ambient mode". You can also select a playback video resolution in the Settings menu, which will affect how the video looks on your device. The "Quality" setting is where you can select the optimal resolution for your device (ie, a computer screen, phone, tablet, etc). Our videos are usually created in 4K (2160p) resolution, and that will give you the best video quality if your device is capable of playing 4K. Smaller screen devices (such as phones or tablets), or older computers, may not be able to play 4K, so in that case select a lower setting. Use the highest setting that your device can play properly. =========================================================================== A note to users of closed-captions: the captions (subtitles) can be moved to different locations on the screen if they are blocking your view. To move a closed caption, place your cursor on it and drag it. Also, when captions are turned on, there are a number of caption features you can change by clicking on the settings "gear wheel" and selecting "Subtitles/CC", and then "Options".
