The mystery of the giant kelp forest - Luka Seamus Wright and Salomé Buglass

À propos de cette vidéo

Discover the ocean’s hidden kelp forests, and explore how these light-dependent organisms evolved to survive at dark depths. -- Like any other plant, kelps require light to grow. Yet kelps found nearly 90 meters below the ocean's surface, where sometimes only 0.1% of sunlight can reach, grow as large as, and often even larger than, their shallow counterparts. So how have these large, light-dependent organisms adapted to thrive at such depths? Luka Seamus Wright and Salomé Buglass explore the ocean's hidden forests. Lesson by Luka Seamus Wright and Salomé Buglass, directed by Upamanyu Bhattacharyya, Otter Studios.
