What would happen if trees evolved on a low-gravity, high-oxygen planet?
On the world of Jotunheim, human settlers vanished over a million years ago, leaving behind pigs, bees, earthworms, and plants to evolve on their own. In this episode, we explore how plant life has adapted to the alien conditions of Jotunheim’s forests.
Lower gravity allows trees to grow far taller than on Earth, while high oxygen makes wildfires more frequent and far more dangerous. These pressures drive dramatic evolutionary adaptations — from massive towering forests to extreme fire-resistant strategies like the infamous Napalm Pine.
