Here in Tiv'on, we've got tons of oak trees from different kinds.
It's easy to take them for granted because they're everywhere.
But oak trees and acorns have a very important role in forest ecology and a lot of uses to us puny humans 😜
Wildlife that consumes acorns as an important part of their diets include birds, such as jays, pigeons, some ducks, and several species of woodpeckers.
Small mammals that feed on acorns include mice, squirrels, and several other rodents.
Acorns served an important role in early human history and were a source of food for many cultures around the world.
In Korea, an edible jelly named dotorimuk is made from acorns, and dotori guksu are Korean noodles made from acorn flour or starch.
Acorns have frequently been used as a coffee substitute, particularly when coffee was unavailable or rationed.
Oaks produce more acorns when they are not too close to other oaks and thus competing with them for sunlight, water, and soil nutrients.
The fires tended to eliminate the more vulnerable young oaks and leave old oaks which created open oak savannas with trees ideally spaced to maximize acorn production.
Enjoy!
