For anyone who wants to know (my opinion) we are losing our life support system, its up to you what YOU do about it.

 

if you do not apppreciate me preahing to you about it tough, somebody has to wake this generation up.

 

Fortunatley there is a very active and noticable shift in thinking, but population is a bigger problem and until thats resolved no counter measures will be adequate.

 

your planet is being killed, and as rob eludes to this will see a new eco system evolve, free from US, the choice is yours.

Now THAT was a good post...

 

Tony, I do whole heartedly apologise for using the word preaching in the earlier post, it was the wrong choice of word, and I should've thought before posting.

 

I do however agree that the population has choices to make, whether those are made correctly is the big decider on everybodies fate.

 

I still think (in my opinion) it doesn't have to be wholly natives that are the way forwards:biggrin:

when youve studied sucsesion and soils through ages you might bin the non natives ideas.

 

it wasnt just preach, irrational too, and why I reffered to you being trained, you do not see how deep that implies. do you hold dear objectivity and rational thinking, do you believe that science has the only truth?

[RobArb]

No, science has a lot of answers but not all... Science cannot exist (again in my opinion) without philosophy and religion, they are two sides of the same coin.

 

Science does however, increase the rate of evolution at an exponential rate, the more we discover the more we understand. As I also stated, being trained doesn't mean you can't be a free thinker, it's what we choose to do with that training thats important.

 

Looks like I've got more reading to do on succession, but I'm not persuaded yet:biggrin:

also look into the interwoven communication and transport of resources from one tree to another even of other species via mycorhizea, look at soil bacteria, and read also ecology of mycorrhizae by F allen

maybe gerrit will explain why native trees are the desired path too?

 

Gerrit if your listening can you explain to rboin why native woodland and not exotic species choices are so important?
