0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. Yacold also |
0:11.5 | partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for |
0:16.6 | gut health, an investigator-led research program. To learn more about Yachtold, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.6 | .jp. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.JP. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. In 2016, I got a ride on the pothold highway north out of Manouse, Brazil, in the Central Amazon. |
0:50.3 | After an hour, my driver shifted down and swung our pickup onto a dirt road. |
0:57.0 | For the next 20 miles, we dodged axle-deep ruts and fallen trunks. |
1:03.0 | This was my first of many subsequent visits to a rustic ecological station, known simply as ZF2. |
1:11.6 | I'm Daniel Grossman, and this is science quickly. |
1:18.6 | I come to see the early stages of what's been called |
1:21.6 | one of the most remarkable and highly anticipated climate experiments. |
1:26.6 | Starting in 2013, researchers had staked out two circular plots, each the size of a baseball |
1:35.3 | diamond, a vine-draped 10-story tall trees. They'd measured and tagged every trunk bigger than a fence |
1:43.3 | post. |
1:44.5 | After years of anticipation, the experiment had raised its sales and seemed ready to launch. |
1:51.7 | And then it ran out of cash. |
1:56.1 | It was put on hold for half of the next decade. |
1:59.6 | But finally now, it's back, and its equipment is about to be |
2:03.4 | turned on. Over the course of the next three episodes, I'll take you on a fascinating journey |
2:09.3 | into the Amazon Free Air CO2 enrichment project known as Amazon Face. I'll explain what this |
2:17.3 | experiment was meant to accomplish, why it was |
2:20.6 | delayed, and how construction of its apparatus eventually got underway. I'll draw on nearly |
