  1. This is how our tomatoes look in the bed house because before planting them we first put them in green earth to get hardened in order to survive in the world of competition like the sun once comes high can't be just bit them so we need to first put them in green house tomatoes and cabbage. So how do you prepare yours?

    “When rainfall fails and evaporative demand climbs, root-zone soil moisture is where the deficit registers first and where it carries forward, weeks before crop condition reflects it. In this study [link above], [the authors] used SMAP root-zone soil moisture to forecast crop productivity anomalies across drought-prone croplands of Eastern and Southern Africa, and [they] quantified how much predictive value soil moisture actually carries, over what lead times, and under which hydroclimatic conditions. The contribution of soil moisture was negligible at short leads but grew steadily out to 40 days, and it concentrated in water-limited croplands where soil moisture and vegetation are most tightly coupled. During the 2024 southern African El Niño drought, the soil moisture informed model resolved the spatial pattern of productivity anomalies roughly a month in advance.
    Beyond the results themselves, this work is a pointer to how much predictive information soil moisture holds. Leveraging the temporal record of SMAP-related products together with the 100–200 metre resolution NISAR will deliver gives us, [believes the H/T], a clear path to attempt field-scale drought forecasting in the smallholder landscapes where early warning matters most…”

  7. "Halting the runaway consequences of livestock agriculture requires a sustainable, steady state economy, encompassing sustainable scale in the livestock industry along with all other sectors."

    Business as usual can't continue, and won't. The conditions that made factory farming work, don't anymore.

    It's past time to transition to eating less meat.

  12. Sea level rise threatens more than a quarter of a million properties as bill surges to $855b

    "Climate change means Australia's love of the coast is facing a multi-billion-dollar reckoning, research suggests, as rising seas threaten to turn its prized coastal lifestyle into a question of who will foot the bill: property owners or governments."

    "Australia could face damage costs of more than $850 billion, with more than $274 billion going to property losses and $580 billion spent on land-use damage."

    "We keep warming the planet … so you get more sea level rise, you get higher tides, higher king tides, higher maximum tides," the professor of environmental economics and biosecurity at the University of Melbourne said." >>

  17. As Australia’s sea levels rise, safe land is vanishing and costs are huge

    "Climate Council forecasts more than 267,000 coastal properties will be damaged by flooding by 2100, costing hundreds of billions of dollars."

    "Kompas said the costs – an estimated $274.3bn in property losses and $580.7bn in land use damages – were a conservative estimate and did not take into account the additional impacts of coastal erosion or significant ice sheet melt."

    "Kompas said that while reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global heating was of paramount importance, “we have to start planning and responding and adapting now. The first thing, of course, is not to build on flood plains, which is common still.” >>
