The sounds of life in a dead tree 🌳 #tree #science

Показать описание

While walking through a small forest in Quebec, I came across a dead tree with a strange appearance. On its surface, I noticed galleries carved by emerald ash borer larvae. These larvae create feeding galleries that disrupt the tree's system for transporting water and nutrients.

The emerald ash borer was accidentally introduced to North America, where it has spread throughout much of the eastern forests, devastating native ash species that are now severely threatened, making it an invasive species 🪳

I decided to take out my contact microphone to record the vibrations of life in this dying tree. Even in death, the tree shelters a vibrant world of life. Under its bark, you can hear the sounds of insects and organisms.

I really love these videos. They look and sound great. It's also just a really interesting niche that I'd never even considered before. Excited to keep seeing more :)
