EXCEPTIONAL HEAT IN NW EUROPE

Yesterday it was a historic day with several records including:
UK 🇬🇧
32.2 Aviemore ,Scotland ALL TIME RECORD
30.0 Magillingan ,Northern Ireland
IRELAND 🇮🇪
31.1 Mt Dillon
29.6 Finner
27.6 Malin Head monthly record

Interesting!

Which is very good, Isn't it?

German chemistry was magic, man

Don't have access to sugar plantations? No worries we'll make it from fucking beets

Brits got the nitrate mines for our explosives blockaded? Psyche. We'll make it from air.

Then BASF's records are blank from 1939-1945 and everyone moved to America for some reason

Hi Jen,
Follow me back!

Hawthorn fly, Bibio marci. Onko hauskempaa nimeä??? Tämä liittyi pyhään Markukseen.

Koiras ja naaras hyvin erinäköiset (kuvassa naaras). Aikuiset pölyttävät. Toukka syö orgaanista ainesta ja kasvien juuria.

It's amazing how these small technologies play critical role in house food security and income. They use less water hence instrumental during drought. Even pastoralists can use them (veetical gardens)

Wonderful👏

🎯👩‍🎓Congratulations to our #PhD student Adama Lo who brillantly defended her thesis on #EarthObservation and herbaceous vegetation monitoring during the Senegalese dry season ▶️ check her papers tinyurl.com/yux4t866 + tinyurl.com/bnxs5y9w @cirad.bsky.social #Cassecs project

True,
I can't agree more!

These are wonderful findings @michaeladippold.bsky.social I really want to be part of your team😆. Do let me know when the next application is open. Than you.

Like the Ritz for wildlife: the joy of recreating Britain’s ancient hedges Up and down the country, volunteers are coming together to plant more of these nature-rich reserves

„Hedges are one of the best bits of wildlife on a farm. And hedges rely on farmers: without the blood, sweat and tears that goes into rejuvenating a hedge, they would slowly turn into a line of trees.“ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nutrients amplify plant response to rainfall A new study reveals that nutrient enrichment significantly strengthens the link between precipitation and plant growth.

Nutrients amplify plant response to rainfall
Nutrient enrichment significantly strengthens the link between precipitation & plant growth. Adding nitrogen and phosphorus increases plant biomass in grasslands, especially under varying rainfall conditions.

Sericulture is increasingly gaining momemtum among agroforestry farmers for small scale silk production. The beauty is, we we can now produce silk from other naturally available silkworm species that utilize indigenous acacia trees

Could drought and poor soil undermine the performance of intercropping ?

Our study in semi-arid Zimbabwe found that the benefits of intercropping are maintained even with water and N stress.
