| Jul 3, 2019 at 11:19 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot | @Pierre I'm pretty sure the Snap doesn't kill half of the trees. That said do you two fancy taking this to chat or elsewhere so I stop getting pinged about it? | |
| Jul 3, 2019 at 11:18 | comment | added | Pierre | @UKMonkey : any evidence to show that the forest "irreparably gone" are not covered in grasses within the year? Surely the centennial trees won't be back right away... And BTW removing half of the trees does not mean removing every single one of them and burning the smaller branches all over the place, thus killing any shrub. | |
| Jul 2, 2019 at 8:28 | comment | added | UKMonkey | @Pierre Demonstrably false. Look at any of the woodland that humans have cut down and now is irreparably gone. Any rapid change of eco system is going to lead to things being wiped out. | |
| Jun 28, 2019 at 13:32 | comment | added | Pierre | @UKMonkey : That's not how it works. In the food chain, the lower you get, the higher the reproduction rate, & the faster the life cycle. Sure trees won't recover fastly, but herbs will recover and take the room left by trees within a couple of months; giving enough food for the insects to recover. Half the predator population, same food amount, that's definitely a population bloom for insects! They can recover beyond previous population within a year, thus providing plenty of food for the remaining birds. Who have lost half their predators, too. Yes birds will definitely be back to normal. | |
| Jun 27, 2019 at 13:13 | comment | added | UKMonkey | @Pierre that's not how it works. Their population (same as humans or any other animal) will be largely governed by not just the reproductive rate - deathrate; but also the food supply. If you kill off half the life on earth; the things that produce a significant amount of food for birds and insects - trees - will also be dead. They have a very slow growth rate. in 5 years; you might have some sign of recovery; but frankly you're more likely to have had mass extinctions. | |
| Jun 27, 2019 at 10:14 | comment | added | Pierre | @DavidMulder : yeah possibly. Or maybe a bird appeared halfway through a recently built wall? Or 200 people appeared 10km into the sky 5 years after the plane crashed? BTW I wonder how the people can reappear with clothes on anyway. Maybe he saw thousands of nudists? I'm really bad at watching films :D | |
| Jun 27, 2019 at 9:55 | comment | added | David Mulder | @Pierre Population would be back to normal yeah, but still another 50% would get added at that point. Even in-universe Scott jumping to conclusions because he sees more birds seems... not impossible? | |
| Jun 27, 2019 at 9:50 | comment | added | Pierre | No way. The life cycle of most birds is less than 5 years, thus in 5 years the bird population was already back to normal. Sorry I was trying to make any sense of this film. | |
