There is more living matter in a forest of giant conifers, 比起热带雨林来

76. These forests were growing here long before humans walked the Earth.
    这片森林远在人类直立行走之前就出现了
77. They were in their prime twenty million years ago
    2000万年前它们就已经在这里
78. and existed before the Swiss Alps or the Rocky Mountains were even raised.
    甚至比阿尔卑斯山(欧洲) 和洛基山脉(美洲最长的山脉)隆起的时间还要早
79. There is more living matter in a forest of giant conifers,
    比起热带雨林来
80. than in any tropical rainforest but it's all contained within the trees.
    巨大针叶林里的有机物质要多的多 但是都在大树里
81. These are as inedible as those in the Taiga so animals are still scarce,
    针叶依然如北极针叶林那样难吃 所以动物仍然稀少
82. but they are present.
    还是有意外的惊喜
