Melloona – where things grow a little differently
• ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]https://alruniaahn.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/melloona-where-things-grow-a-little-differently/

You may thank us ✌️🪱✌️
"Crucially, both field and laboratory data demonstrated a significant reduction in particle size in casts compared to soil (6.48% and 19.8%, respectively), supporting the potential earthworm effects on MP (microplastic) mechanical attrition. Polymer compositions in casts mirrored those in soils, exhibiting a nonselective and passive ingestion pathway. Beyond physical transport, the formation of field biogenic polymer aggregates facilitated chemical aging of MPs, as evidenced by elevated oxidation indices. This process was likely accelerated by the enrichment of plastic-degrading microbial taxa (e.g., Flavobacterium) within casts, which exhibited up to a 35.6-fold increase in relative abundance."

How giant earthworms have transformed the Isle of Rum’s landscape https://theconversation.com/how-giant-earthworms-have-transformed-the-isle-of-rums-landscape-231638
"Renowned for a thriving and intricately studied population of around 900 #RedDeer, the #IsleOfRum, part of #Scotland’s Inner #Hebrides, is often considered an outdoor laboratory for scientific research. But the #earthworms on Rum are equally remarkable. These #invertebrates act as #EcosystemEngineers, actively shaping the landscape, often after humans have left their mark on this remote island."
