“Dead” is relative.
It probably is teeming with all sorts of life.
Leaving deadwood in place creates diverse and heavily populated ecological islands.That’s all well and good but that tree is dead as shit.
“Dead as shit” is relative.
Shit is teeming with all sorts of life.
Leaving shit in place creates diverse and heavily populated ecological islands.Seems like dead as shit is exactly correct then?
“exactly correct” is relative . . .
My mom (who is a relative) is dead as shit too. We’re on to something here
Dead tree = healthy forest
A nearby forest that was shown to me in covid lockdown has a nice clearing at the lowest section with a few tree logs to sit on. Yesterday I noticed mushrooms there for the first or second time i can remember, which i credit to all the dead wood that’s left alone there.
It feels like such a healthy place; on one side is allotments, on the other side is a huge meadow. To the top and bottom it’s bounded by forested roads, but on the other side of them is more greenspace. I should really learn thoroughly how forest ecology works, but I get the feeling that it’s healthier as a result of more green on all sides.
It’s only a minor flesh wound.
A proper dull post. Excellent.
*dull golf clap*
That’s one big ass stem.
