"Η φύση της Φύσης" είναι ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον βιβλίο που μπορεί να μας διδάξει πολλά για τα όρια της ανθρώπινης παρέμβασης (για να μην τρέφουμε και αυταπατες).

Το σύνδρομο της νεκρής ελάτης Από την άνοιξη τα δασαρχεία σε Στερεά Ελλάδα και Πελοπόννησο έβλεπαν «επιδημία» ξήρανσης στα δάση. Πώς εξηγείται το φαινόμενο; Μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί;

Τα δάση της Πελοποννήσου και της Στερεάς γέμισαν με νέκρα δέντρα. Το φαινόμενο έχει ξανασυμβεί, αλλα οχι σε τέτοια έκταση. Τι λένε οι επιστήμονες; Απαντήσεις εντός.

The science of this is way beyond me, but sharing because I'd never even heard of agromining (extracting rare metals from plants) and I'm fascinated.
