Matching dinosaur footprints in Cameroon and Brazil record a time when Africa and South America were still connected & herds could wander between them.
I'm not saying the very same dinosaur was stomping around in both Cameroon and Brazil...but it's possible.
Even after the darkest night, the sun will shine. The sea will entertain you with its relaxing noise, and the sand will reflect the light in a warm, ancient colour palette.
"Incorporating wood sawdust and chips into field soils stimulates fungal growth. In particular, incorporation of hardwood material resulted in rapid and long-term stimulation of fungal filamentous growth. The fungi that develop are not the wood rot basidiomycetes found in forests but ascomycetes (sac fungi) that have easy access to the cellulose polymers in shredded wood."
"Stimulating fungi through wood addition fits well with more sustainable agriculture. It suppresses plant pathogenic fungi and the excess nitrogen, which might otherwise wash out, is captured by the fungi. It also increases the overall diversity of soil life by providing fungal-eating soil creatures with a food source."
Of all the components of dead plants, wood is the hardest to break down. How come fungi know how to do this? What issues did they need to solve to achieve this? The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) tries to find answers to these questions…
I was out at the farm, doing the regular fall chores and prepping beds for garlic, when my glasses lens fell out. The screw is, of course, gone. But I need my glasses to drive. Enter a natural material that's abundant, strong, flexible and able to hold a knot.
[EN]Since new readers have arrived here, I think I should introduce myself again. My name is Berta, I am a Spanish-Ecuadorian #philosopher and #artist. I am especially interested in the transition from #nature to #cultures, #mythology, #religion, and #symbolism. In my current #photography project, I am reconstructing the myth of Persephone.
Manche fliegen stundenlang in ein heißes Land, um dort Abkühlung in einem Pool oder dem Meer zu suchen und dann über die Hitze zu stöhnen. Hier ein alternativer Tipp: #Ferien bei uns, da ist es immer kühl. Und unsere #Ferienwohnung hat eine natürliche Beschattung, da ist spürbar, was Bäume ausmachen. #nature
“If the bees disappear off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
First an introduction - I go by Dyptre online, I'm a photographer based in Western Canada with a primary focus on capturing landscapes with a focus on natural and real editing. I shoot #film, I and primarily shoot #fujifilm
If you want to see more - give me a follow here I guess!
Even with all the eclipse photos circulating right now, this one made my eyes pop. Great shot of jet contrails breaking up the edge of the eclipsed Sun. Quick calculation: The Sun is about 30,000,000 times wider than the jet.
