Good video, left me with alot of questions, but I am not sure I particularly buy into what he was saying. This sounds like the same thing our timber companies and state biologists keep saying but I don't see much information on it in regards to studies being performed. The ones I do predominantly utilize global warming as an excuse because these trees are more adaptable. Maybe I am particularly biased on this subject as I have watched timber companies with the approval of the state to go in cut down acres of 200+ year old oak/elm and other hardwood trees and replant them with long-leaf pines in the name of restoration. Quail and turkeys love these trees, the quail for the underbrush that gives them cover and the turkeys like the tops but deer in these woods don't particularly care for the openness.
