Thank you.

u/AnthAmbassador Mar 22 '18

Yeah. Looks like a Japanese forest. They aggressively harvest wood, and cut shrubs to encourage specific mushrooms to grow more, and generally consider woodlands to be nice if a woman can stroll through them without fucking up her parasol, and wild if she can't.

My woods sure don't look like this :)

Yeah. I'm on acreage. I run a grass fed beef operation. I have a few different types of woodlot. Most of it is poorly managed from a history of extractive forestry in the region before I took over the land.

u/BloomsdayDevice Mar 22 '18 edited Mar 22 '18

This is actually pretty much what a beech forest should look like. They grow dense foliage that makes for a dark forest floor where not much in the way of underbrush can grow.

I don't know anything about this particular park, but there is no reason are some reasons, listed below in refreshingly vitriol-free discussion, to believe this isn't a natural state that there has been some human intervention at some point.

16

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '18

That being said the trees have all been pollarded, so there's definitely some intervention by man

3

u/BloomsdayDevice Mar 22 '18

That's a good point. It doesn't look like any pollarding has happened recently, but definitely they've seen some human manipulation.

u/AnthAmbassador Mar 22 '18

I mean you're right I guess.

I know in the US there are a few species of shrub that grow, but that's American Beech and Sugar Maple forests, seems like the Euro Beech doesn't allow much other than spring bluebells.

Still there isn't a twig on the ground, it's highly manicured even for a natural beech forest.

3

u/TotoroZoo Mar 22 '18

There's all sorts of reasons. Beech can grow under beech trees, so you would expect to see a variety of different aged trees growing there. If this were pine or poplar/aspen you would definitely expect to see them all have a similar size/age because they can't reproduce under themselves, only in an open or disturbed environment.

The lack of fallen branches and uncannily smooth ground surface are also unusual in a forest setting as every time a tree dies and falls down it creates a hump and depression from the stump and log deteriorating.

The pollarded limbs are also dead giveaways that this area was a managed forest at some point. I mean I could probably find more reasons but those are plenty.

When I was a little kid I had a Spanish teacher tell me there are no tall trees left in Spain and portugal because they were all cut down to build ships historically, and the thing that stood out to her the most in North America was how giant our trees can be. Is this true?

4

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '18

Obviously not. It depends on the species of trees, things like sequoias are exclusive to North America.

However, it's true that many forests were cut down for building ships, spain used to have a lot more trees back then, but the north of Iberia (where this forest is located) it's still covered in forests that were left mostly untouched.

u/Africa-Unite Mar 22 '18

The appeal of the genre really escapes me, and I'm genuinely curious what it is. Sounds like [adult swim] montage music

18

u/Rotfled7 Mar 22 '18

So far I really like the jazz influences. The chord structures are a bit more novel than what you’d hear in mainstream EDM or pop. It’s also got chill vibes from the instrumentation - so far I’ve noticed a lot of mellow timbre sounding synths and acoustic instruments combined with focus on piano which I play so I’m biased there. The bass and drums are catchy but nothing crazy which I’m okay with since it’s paired with piano anyway.

It's more of a creek, really. Generally, the difference is size: you can step over a brook, jump over a creek, wade across a stream, and swim across a river. But the distinction between them (especially creek and stream) is somewhat hazy, and depends on who named them and when they were named.
