Planet Earth, 10, Seasonal Forests [Alexander Street]
The Taiga forest, on the edge of the Arctic, is a silent world of stunted conifers. The trees may be small but filming from the air reveals its true scale. A third of all trees on Earth grow here and during the short summer they produce enough oxygen to change the atmosphere. In California, General Sherman, a giant sequoia, is the largest living thing on the planet, ten times the size of a blue whale. The oldest organisms alive are bristlecone pines. At more than 4,000 years old they pre-date the pyramids. But the baobab forests of Madagascar are perhaps the strangest of all.
Inside the Megafire [Kanopy]
The California wildfires of 2018 took a worrisome trend to a new extreme, claiming lives and over a million acres. Scientists investigate how forestry practices, climate change, and drought may contribute to the rise of deadly megafires.

Devonian Death and the Spread of Forests (Kanopy)
Today, we look at forests as a sign of a healthy biosphere. But is it possible that the earliest forestation of our planet (as plants became larger; developed seeds, roots, and wood; and expanded away from the shoreline) could be responsible for mass extinction towards the end of the Devonian period?
