What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

MODERATORS
As someone who lives and works in the environments this study is talking about, it's not surprising at all.
About a decade ago I was right at ground zero of a huge forest fire, and it wiped out everything right down to bare rock. The first things to start growing were the grasses and the like, followed by quick growing deciduous trees, and then what you saw is the slower growing coniferous trees started to outcompete the deciduous trees because they could grow all year round while the deciduous trees needed to get all their growing done during the late spring, summer, and early fall.
It's been really interesting watching the lifecycle of a forest right before my eyes. It's the sort of real life you don't understand from a desk in a building in a city.
