During my two years, I spent 9 months in the field with USGS. I studied the specific plants I've mentioned in this thread. I mentioned those plants because it is just one reason to have regulation on cattle grazing in this part of the world. Unless your specialty is cryptobiotic soil crust, then I guaran-****ing-tee you're talking to someone with more expertise that your general studies of "soil" and "plants." What's your focus, man?

Hey sunshine, I have over a decade of extended experience in the field of soils and crops. Crops, not plants…the fact that you don't know the difference tells me just about everything I need to know about your "experience". I also wouldn't be so quick to tout your 9 months of "experience". Hell, even 2 years isn't enough to make an accurate study on how things impact the environment in regards to agriculture.

Oh, and you're still a sad little man Paco.

man, this post swings wildly and misses.
what's your focus, man? You know **** about cryptobiotic crust? I mean, that's the point I made originally, and you keep failing to acknowledge that point AND you fail to get specific with your lordly knowledge. Time to step up.

And if you don't think two years is enough time to know something about desert ecosystems, then you must be an incredibly slow learner.

Anyway, I look forward to the moment you get specific.

lolz, when did the distinction between crops and plants become important to this thread? Also, what does your knowledge of "crops" lend you as far as knowing anything about crust?

You really are dumb, aren't you?

check the edit. I knew you'd need the edit. HOW IS IT IMPORTANT TO THE POINT I MADE IN THIS THREAD? YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THE POINT?

Well buddy…plants infers that they are there for several years, possibly a perennial without tilling, thus making the soil more compacted and generally resulting in more crusting of the soil.

Crops infers that they are annual crops that are usually tilled (depends on location though), thus making the soil less compacted and having less issues with crusting. That's why it makes a difference. Again, this is nothing difficult, but it sure is true.

As far as what my knowledge of crops tells me about soils…well, I got a well-rounded education. So in order to grow crops well, you have to know about soil, and to know about soil, you have to know about the crust. Also, different crops will impact soil in different ways, based off of root systems, how much water they need, etc etc.

This is just basic stuff, so I'm surprised somebody with their masters wouldn't know that. Actually…I'm not too surprised. Most people with their masters in a field where they don't use it for any practical reason show a typical lack of knowledge outside of a school book.

Oh, and as for your other post, I've never shoveled **** in my life. That's what we hire your cousins for.

so basically you think your knowledge of "crust" means you know something about the cryptobiotic soil crusts native to the western desert? This is what your post implies. And, you'd be so ****ing wrong it's hilarious.

BTW, I spent 4 years on an 50 acre organic farm in southern california (which was producing year round). A few years before that I was wwoofing in New Zealand and Australia. So, yeah, if you wanna have a conversation related to my original point, I'm still waiting. If you want to tell me how any of the **** you just typed has anything to do with what I said, then you can feel free to get specific, cuz I'll know what you're talking about.

recap:
the "crusts" you talk about in the quoted text have absolutely zero relationship to the cryptobiotic crusts I've talked about.

 

[Hantlers]

Well originally I was just trying to pester you, which apparently worked.

Then you asked how the distinction between crops and plants made a difference on crusts…which I found shocking, since apparently you studied crusts. That one I actually responded seriously to.

Also, it's pretty cute you worked on a tiny little hobby farm. 50 acres sure is a lot!

So here's a serious question: exactly what does one do with a masters in soil crust or whatever the hell you studied? I can't imagine there's a lot of job opportunity with that, or at least well-paying jobs.

Oh, and for reference, I don't know **** about cryptobiotic crust because IMO, it is an absolute waste to spend money and time extensively studying such a relatively useless part of life.

I once went 4 wheeling in the desert so I obviously know more about dirt and plants and **** than Hantlers and Fixed combined. so I win.

What's next?

Did the dirt crunch as you drove over it? Just curio
