Tähän aikaan vuodesta merellä voi nähdä oudon hohteen veden pinnassa. Ilmiön saa aikaan panssarisiimalevä Alexandrium ostenfeldii. Se tuottaa itse valonsa. Jos havaitset ilmiön, kerro siitä meille!

Interesting article about rewilding agricultural land and why less land is needed for crops and pastures bbc.com/future/artic...

The rewilding milestone Earth has already passed

The world's use of farmland has peaked, bringing the chance to turn over more space to nature. How far could the trend go?

Voidaanko luonnon monimuotoisuutta lisäämällä torjua tuholaisia ja tukea viljojen terveyttä? Asiaa selvitetään BSAG:n ja @helsinki.fi tutkimuksessa. Monimuotoisuustoimilla on saatu vähennettyä tuholaisvaurioita ja houkuteltua lisää pölyttäjiä. https://www.bsag.fi/tutkimuskuulumisia-bd-hankkeesta/

British report about #RegenerativeAgriculture.

British Ecological Society @britishecologicalsociety.org · Apr 2

Is #RegenerativeAgriculture the solution to delivering for both food and nature?

A new report by the British Ecological Society brings together 40 academics, practitioners and farmers across the UK to explore the evidence. 👇

An image of a wheat field is to the right. On the left, against a beige backdrop, the text says, 'Regenerative agriculture,
does it work for farmers and nature? New BES report looks at the evidence'

Interesting paper! A lot to think of when analyzing data e.g. can the data really answer the biological questions asked?

Ecosystems and Global Change Group @ecochangegroup.bsky.social · Feb 12

What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, and potential for more than one "truth" in nature? 🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s129...
