#ecosystems — Public Fediverse posts

🌋🌊 Deep-sea researchers from the #Ocean Exploration Trust discovered a unique "yellow brick road" formation on the Liliʻuokalani Ridge.

Located over 1,000 meters deep, the rectangular patterns are actually fractured hyaloclastite rock. The volcanic formation helps scientists understand the #marine #ecosystems within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Small creeks are essential life feeders in forests. This small creek is a part of our local watershed. It is small, yet mighty with it's life-source; sustaining life for many cedar trees & the plants that grow on forest understory. Creeks need protection as much as big rivers do 💧🌲💧

Fascinating article! Well worth a read & a boost!

“With China, It’s Getting Late Early”

by Prof. Robert Pape in Escalation Trap on Substack

“What Americans Are Suddenly Seeing From Trump’s Beijing Trip — And What I Saw Touring China’s Advanced Industries”

[..]

“I came away convinced that much of Washington is debating the wrong problem.

The issue is no longer simply whether China manufactures goods more cheaply than the United States.

The issue is whether China is beginning to organize innovation itself more effectively than the United States”

Riding Mountain: An Island of Wilderness

Riding Mountain National Park is a 'wilderness island' in a 'sea of agriculture.' On the Manitoba Escarpment, its high elevation creates an environment distinct from the prairies. This allows three ecosystems to converge: grasslands, upland boreal, and eastern deciduous forest, supporting a rich biodiversity found nowhere else on the plains. #Canada #RidingMountain #Manitoba #Ecosystems 🇨🇦

Conserving #wetlands & wildlife #marshes are absolutely essential to #biodiversity 💚

Thanks to Malthus, we have focused on food as the limit to population growth. For some reason, we have failed to consider how demands on other resources may have limits that we cannot afford to cross.

This mossy covered fallen log hosts abundant plants life; as part of a biodiverse forest understory ecosystem. Nature wastes nothing. Fallen logs essentially feeds new ecological life. You can witness, respect & appreciate entire, sustainable, natural life cycles, within biodiverse forests. It's well worth paying close attention to 💚

There's at least 4 different moss species, covering this natural life sustaining log. There's ferns, cleavers, purslane, wall lettuce, sorrel & trailing blackberry, all growing out of it.

I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

#SilentSunday

Pink purslane, trailing blackberry, wild strawberry native plants, growing out of a fallen, moss covered logs. Behind the logs, there's lots of vanilla leaf, licorice & lady ferns, thimbleberry, huckleberry, salmonberry, Oregon grape, currants, Kinnikinnick & salal plants.
So much edible native plants in a small portion of a forest 💚

A small, relatively unknown, Saanich community park. I discovered it over a decade ago. Jada found it about 2 years ago. She was surprised that I'm very familiar with this park because no one else she knows has been there before. We both love it because we see no other humans while visiting & exploring trails. I was telling her that you can find native sundew plants by lakeside & it's a good place to harvest fiddleheads & look for mushrooms. Told her about the beaver history of this tiny lake/wetlands spot too. The older huge beaver lodge was decimated a few years ago, due to human impact/road construction near their wood harvesting areas. The beavers weren't seen for awhile after that. They returned sometime over past 2 years & built a new beaver lodge - it's currently about 1/3 size of the previous lodge. No photos of it because we didn't go close to lakeside on our hike. Neither of us were into getting super muddy yesterday.

This park space features:
- multiple hiking trails from relatively easy to moderate levels
- diversity of native plants/wildflowers
- native amphibians are present; many frogs & turtles live there
- healthy biodiversity of insects & invertebrates
- birds diversity
- beavers habitat
- trees diversity
- wetlands & marshes
- fish bearing habitat
- mix of sunny & shady rest spots; no benches or tables but some larger, open spaces that are good for resting at
- community stewardship

Super limited parking space. Only room for 2 cars on side of road, by the small park sign. Very easy to miss the sign if you're not paying close attention.

@BBCWildlife @bbc-wildlife-magazine-BBCWildlife #Kelpforests are impressive #ecosystems, characterized by a vast #diversity of #species. These underwater landscapes serve as vital carbon sinks for the #greenhousegas #CO2. Consequently, such extraordinary habitats are of scientific interest for contributing to counteract global warming.

The role of zoos in nature conservation:
The mission of contemporary self-respecting zoos consists of ex-situ conservation, supporting in-situ conservation, and raising public awareness about endangered species via education. Besides protection of endangered species, viable habitats are needed that sustain much more (e.g. ecosystems) than just an individual species that can be reintroduced in the wild.

I am not going to use #ChatGPT anymore. It's useful for idea generation, outlines, etc. But, it's tools like these that require entire data centers to operate, subsequently causing strains on the power grid and driving up energy costs for everyone. The power requirements alone promote #climatechange. Data centers destroy #ecosystems, all in the name of entertainment. The irony is not lost on me.

Eco‑anxiety and mental health

* What kids told us about eco‑anxiety

"This is our home.
If we destroy it, and we can’t build it up,
then that’s a part of the Earth that’s destroyed,
and we won’t be able to get it back."
Matthew, age ten

"Eco-anxiety is a rational response to a real threat." >>
https://theconversation.com/im-mad-at-the-people-who-could-have-solved-the-problem-what-kids-told-us-about-eco-anxiety-278999

* "Mental health seems to be having a bigger toll on people's ability to work...More than 8 million people rely on income support, driven by a growing number of mental health claims."

"With around 2 million more people now accessing payments than a decade ago, the surge is being driven by Australians whose physical and mental health has deteriorated to the point they can no longer work." >>

Warming seas can threaten the hidden relationship that supports seagrass meadows

"Seagrasses are often overlooked, but they are among the most important coastal habitats on Earth."

"Our findings highlight an important idea: the impacts of climate change on seagrasses can’t be understood by looking at the plants alone. The microbial communities living in the sediment can also influence how these plants respond to warming. "

"This has important implications for conservation and restoration. Around the world, seagrass meadows are declining due to coastal development, pollution and climate change. "
