    nature is very conforming in your model.

    Oak is notoriously difficult to grow, if only we just let nature show us the lead. Grassland under grazed at that, long grass makes the best nursery for Oaks, this is not even something that is deniable! you would be flogging a dead donkey trying to! of course you could always rely on your education provided by men, rather than actualy go out and study life!

    man has manipulated his environment for thousands of years. The fact is those oak woodlands of which you speak, take wistmans wood dartmoor for instance, regen only occurs on the fringes, NOT within the wood itself. Class dismissed:lol:

    I am just yanking chains, but you know that anyways, but i do smile when the inevitable happens and smug is as inevitable as being right! tongue entirely in cheek, wouldnt be the same without the banter:001_smile:

    and good on em I say, for acknowledging it as such I mean. Any arb thats on here in the evening has to be half decent and at least have some passion for arboriculture:thumbup1:
  18. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    Those are terms I would be MORE than happy to work under:thumbup1:
  19. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    yes your right, but is it fair when one ends up carrying three others? one a whinging big girls blouse, the other an i phone addict, thumbs on one hand half attempted drag of one bit of brush in the other etc etc etc I know how this guy feels, but agree he isnt exactly eloquent in his point making!
  20. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    indeed, which is why i VERY much doubt its classification as biotroph.

    Ive cut so many big Bjerkanderas and found the black line now that i get a bit blazay and presumptuous:001_smile: naughty assumptions, I should know far better by now!
  24. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    mmmm, doing too many "mates rates" jobs will just make life seem pointless! I do it all the time and im 25 years in and supposedly wiser!
  25. Tony Croft aka hamadryad
    No it wouldnt be that unusual, the problem here is its being described as a "Biotroph" as opposed to Necrotroph. A complicated business narrowing down the life cycle or strategy of a fungi, the science would have to be solid. Biotrophs fully dependant on living tissues Necrotrophs kills tissues then consumes and can act saprotrophicaly Saprotrophs deadwood feeding only. and believe me there is a lot of grey areas in this side of mycology
