00:00In the middle of the old continent, on the eastern borders of Poland and the western
00:16borders of Belarus, there is a pulse of the original forest, uninterrupted for several
00:22thousand years.
00:23The only remnant of the original forests that once densely covered the European lowlands.
00:29The Biosphere Reserve and the Heritage of Mankind, the Bialowieza Forest.

01:52In this film, we present a large, barsque house full of thousands of microenvironments
03:27I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm not going to let you get away with this.
03:32I'm not going to let you get away with this.
03:37I'm not going to let you get away with this.
03:42I'm not going to let you get away with this.
03:47I'm not going to let you get away with this.
03:52I'm not going to let you get away with this.
04:22This episode is necessary for the desert to be able to live on.
04:27The storm has begun the original race.
04:32The crowd is rising to the start.
04:35Thousands of seeds can now begin a new life.
04:42The entire important process of the transformation of the desert matter begins with them, with the seeds.
04:47There is a high probability that a plant that grows out of it will eat a part or the whole of an animal.
04:57Someone else will eat this plant-eater, someone else will eat the next one.
05:03Everything is in motion, so is the organic matter.
05:08This is the philosophy of the desert survival.
05:14So maybe this unknown to us soul of the Białystok meadow
05:19does not lie in the unusual atmosphere of such a windy meadow,
05:24but in these little things.
05:43The race for the highest stake has begun.
05:48Its pace is, of course, appropriately slow, proportional to the longevity of the meadow.
05:55Thanks to the post-cage shots, we can accelerate this race significantly.
06:13The Białystok Meadow
06:44The Białystok Meadow
06:51So far, the plants have won their fate,
06:54but the chances of surviving so many seeds are negligible, just like in the lottery.
06:58Whoever survives will continue the race.
07:01However, danger lurks everywhere.
07:13The Białystok Meadow
07:44The Białystok Meadow
07:49The strongest plants have passed the first stages and continue to compete.
07:54They will win those that outperform the competition
07:57and take precious light and moisture from them.
08:13The Białystok Meadow
08:35Those who run out of breath will lose.
08:38In this real fight for life and death, there is no room for mercy.
08:43If all the young plants survived,
08:46no tree would have a chance of surviving in such a huge thicket.
08:51And that would mean the destruction of the entire meadow.
08:57Only a few of the trees that have survived the first stages
09:01will reach puberty.
09:04They are the future of the meadow.
09:07The 300-year-old oak tree sprouted from its branches
09:10around the time when William Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.
09:24When Sir Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity,
09:28this 300-year-old spruce tree was just a seed.
09:32They succeeded, but now their time is coming to an end.
09:37When they fall, they will be replaced by the younger competitors waiting in line.
09:42This is where the meaning of self-regeneration and the continuity of the natural meadow lies.
10:02The Białystok Meadow
10:33Green, green, sea of green.
10:38It is obvious that the green tissue of the meadow is formed by the leaves.
10:44But why is the leaf, in a sense, the most important thing here?
10:49Because every chain of life begins from it.
10:54Every leaf, including this larch and this spruce spruce,
10:59is also a leaf.
11:02It is a miniature green factory.
11:06During photosynthesis,
11:08the fuel is produced here, in this inconspicuous, thin plate,
11:12thanks to which the plant builds new tissues.
11:15This green structure also serves the animals.
11:18If not for the leaves, what would the plants feed on?
11:22And who would the predators eat?
11:25Because they themselves cannot build materials from coal and water,
11:29and only eat ready-to-eat food,
11:32green is the basis of life for them.
11:35Therefore, the leaf is the most important thing.
11:39As far as this is easy to understand,
11:42it is more difficult to imagine what a really enormous power,
11:47yes, power,
11:50all the leaves of this forest constitute.
11:53If we assume that the Białowieża Forest,
11:56on the Polish and Belarusian sides,
11:59has more or less 1100 km2,
12:02then the surface of its leaves
12:05is almost 17 billion square meters.
12:1317 billion square meters.
12:1717 billion square meters.
12:20Or maybe much, much more.
12:23Let someone deny that plants do not create.
12:31How often we pass by trees,
12:34not even thinking that there is constant work going on inside them.
12:38And what kind of work?
12:40In order to create life,
12:42the tree pumps all the tons of water from the roots to the leaves,
12:46and then down to photosynthesis products.
12:49Each of them is a huge two-way pump.
12:53There are millions of trees in the whole forest,
12:56so millions of liters of liquid
12:59pulsate from top to bottom and vice versa every day.
13:02It is difficult to feel this pulse in the apparent stillness.
13:06And yet...

15:12A certain amount of rainfall stops the green roof of the crowns.
15:16The rest reaches the rune,
15:18some of which remains in the moss and leaves,
15:21and some seeps into the fertile soil.
15:24In such an excellent reservoir, water is enough for a long time.
15:28Constant evaporation saturates the interior of the forest with moisture.
15:32At the bottom, the humidity of the air sometimes reaches even 100%.
15:40MUSIC
15:47The bottom of the forest evaporates non-stop.
15:50The aureola of moisture remains constantly around each plant.
15:54The wet, decomposing lichen also saturates the air with water.
15:58This contributes to the vigorous development of greenery,
16:01but the plant seekers of moisture must be flexible.
16:05Here, the struggle of both is based on adapting the shape,
16:10size and structure to the environment,
16:13and on the best use of life space.
