I'm searching for primary papers&photographs from field experiments in terrestrial ecology on the following topics:
-pollution experiments (e. g.light,noise, information pollution)
-habitat fragmentation experiments
-whole ecosystem&natural experiments (e.g.volcanic eruptions BACI design etc.)

It's for a book I am currently writing, get in touch if you have any photographs or would like to point me towards your favorite study.

Map of land managed by the forest service in green and bureau of land management in Orange, potentially for sale in the American west.

Millions of acres of our shared lands in the American West may be up for sale. The catastrophic damage of plundering these lands is unimaginable, for now and future generations. Out here we are in deep relationship with the land. Itโ€™s habitat, itโ€™s home.

Harvard researcher Dr Sarah Fortune was only two years away from creating a vaccine that could have saved the 1.25 million people killed each year by tuberculosis. But last month, she received a letter telling her that the $60 million grant funding her research was being halted by President Trump.

Why glaciologists believe the Birch Glacier collapsed, burying a nearby Swiss town The landslide flattened homes in the Alpine town of Blatten.

Another very concerning result of ongoing human-caused global warming and climate change
โ€œThe collapse likely occurred as a result of permafrost thawing underneath and along the sidewalls surrounding the glacierโ€

A hidden measure in the Republican budget bill would crown Trump king | Robert Reich The bill could stop federal courts from enforcing their rulings, eliminating any restraint on Trump

1/2 Buried in the GOPโ€™s budget bill is a dictator clauseโ€”a sneaky provision that would let Trump ignore court orders without consequence. It guts enforcement of contempt rulings unless plaintiffs post a bond, making the judiciary toothless.
This would crown Trump king.

Egal ob exzellent oder nicht: Fรผr mich geht es um exakte, saubere, nachvollziehbare Wissenschaft, um der Wahrheit ein Stรผck nรคher zu kommen. Die Natur ist ohnehin zu komplex, zu organisch, zu selbstorganisiert, um sie rein rational begreifen zu kรถnnen.

For 60 years, unclassified US defense and intelligence reports assessed security threats from environmental, #water, and #climate risks.

These assessments are now being deleted, censored, and canceled. I document, annotate, and link to them here (first of 3 posts):

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

Endlich ein Artikel in einer prominenten Zeitung, der es auf den Punkt bringt.
Es geht um alles. Diese anti-demokratischen, supereichen Tech-Faschisten noch irgendwie aufzuhalten, ist das wichtigste Gebot der Stunde. Sonst kann man den Rest auch knicken.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass viele Insektenarten lokal vorkommen und SchutzmaรŸnahmen auf regionaler Ebene notwendig sind. Zudem wurde deutlich, dass ein auch bei uns Insektenarten zum Teil noch nicht wissenschaftlich beschrieben sind. Ergebnisse sind neue Grundlage fรผr Naturschutz und Monitoring.

Es gab 17 invasive Arten, darunter fรผnf, die mรถglicherweise neu fรผr Deutschland sind.AuรŸerdem wurden sieben Arten wiedergefunden, die zuvor als ausgestorben galten. Sechs Naturschutzgebiete wurden als besonders wichtig fรผr den Erhalt der Artenvielfalt hervorgehoben.

Wir haben deutschlandweit die Artenvielfalt von Arthropoden (z. B. Insekten) in 21 Naturschutzgebieten untersucht. Dabei wurden รผber 14.000 genetische Einheiten (OTUs) identifiziert,viele bisher unbekannt.33% der Arten wurden nur in einem Gebiet gefunden. Nur 1,2% der Arten waren in allen Gebieten.
