  1. Here some good news for the #MEB network (microclimate ecology & biogeography, former #SoilTemp).
    New #TOMST soil temperature and soil humidity loggers are now installed in alpine habitats of the #ScottishHighlands, in the #Cairngorms National Park. 🌡️

  6. Cooler For Some, Unliveable For Others: Delhi’s Heat Crisis is a Failure of Law and Policy

    This problem is not limited to the absence of tree-canopy mandates as the Master Plan 2041 repeatedly invokes…

  7. Cherry: The Final Flowering

    April is always a strange time here in our particular corner of the PNW where our house seems to sit in its own tiny pocket of micro-climate. We have what I believe is the last-to-bloom cherry tree in Seattle.

    Three days ago the tree was bare and the sky brilliant blue. Two days ago we had thunder, lightning, hail…and a waterspout over Puget Sound. Waterspout sounds sort of cute ad friendly, doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s a tornado over water—you do not want to encounter one if you’re in a boat. (Both these images are screen grabs from local news video—like the cats, I was very sensibly safe indoors; sorry for the poor quality.)

    Yesterday? The cherry tree decided, Okay, the weather has thrown its final spring curveball, safe to bloom! And so it did.

    Every year the speed of change surprises me. One day nothing—no leaves, no flowers—then one morning buds with tiny pink frills peeking from the tips. Then, hours or days later (always unexpected), spang! Leaves and flowers at once. Within a week the whole tree will look like a puff of cotton candy; three of four days after that they’ll all fall off and turn the lawn into a pink carpet. For days the cats will come home covered in petals, tracking them everywhere. Sadly (for us—Kelley really likes cherries), despite all the flowering there will be no fruit. There never is. I don’t know why. The tree is at least 25 years old, so it’s not a question of age. I don’t think it’s a nutrient or sunlight issue, either. I think our cherry just doesn’t have any suitable friends close enough to cross-pollinate.

    Perhaps one day someone will plant something compatible, and one day there will be tiny little cherry trees springing up all over. Until then, the birds love the tree. The cats love the tree. And I love the tree. It seems content.

  12. Missing the forest for the trees. Forests are not just stands of trees, there are layers of complexity intertwining with each other, with complex vegetation structure, deadwood, epiphytes, beds of bryophytes and lichen, more open light regimes and more shaded ones interwoven like a story.

  18. Small persistent humid forest clearings drive tropical forest biomass losses

    "Tropical forests store about half of the global forest above ground carbon (AGC), yet extensive areas are affected by disturbances, such as deforestation from agricultural expansion and degradation from fires, selective logging, and edge effects...Findings highlight the disproportionate impact of small clearings on tropical carbon losses, suggesting the need to curb land-use changes and protect young and recovering forests."

  28. zone 6a. Looking for diys to increase raised bed temp earlier - hot peppers. Companion planting but only with low growing plants - don't want to use ground plastic.

    Considering a mini greenhouse (fancy cold frame) in the bed [see also f'ing groundhogs] with auto drip watering under it, but concerned about moisture leading to fungus issues, even if I have automatic vents. I work full time+ and with health limits I won't be checking it daily.

  38. This is one of my favorite spots along the Liesing in Vienna.

    I don't know about this section, but most of the Lising was confined in concrete walls not too many years ago, but almost every section in Vienna has been renaturalized by now.

    The results:
    * fewer floods
    * better water quality (Platon doesn't stink after bathing)
    * the human psyche benefits from the beauty of nature
    * more biodiversity
    * great education opportunity (you probably can't see it in the pictures, but just a little bit upstream there is a group of kindergardeners probably learning something about the environment)
    * cooler microclimate
    * and many, many more

    * the human psyche benefits from the beauty of nature
    * more biodiversity
    * great education opportunity (you probably can't see it in the pictures, but just a little bit upstream there is a group of kindergardeners probably learning something about the environment)
    * cooler microclimate
    * and many, many more

  42. This is one of my favorite spots along the Liesing in Vienna.

    I don't know about this section, but most of the Lising was confined in concrete walls not too many years ago, but almost every section in Vienna has been renaturalized by now.

    The results:
    * fewer floods
    * better water quality (Platon doesn't stink after bathing)
    * the human psyche benefits from the beauty of nature
    * more biodiversity
    * great education opportunity (you probably can't see it in the pictures, but just a little bit upstream there is a group of kindergardeners probably learning something about the environment)
    * cooler microclimate
    * and many, many more

    "Melle Smets, Dutch artist and our collaborator at the Human Power Plant, stumbled upon this beautiful fruit wall in #Dorrepaal, the Netherlands. By planting fruit trees close to a specially built wall with high thermal mass and #SouthernExposure, a #microclimate is created that allows the cultivation of #Mediterranean fruits in #TemperateClimates. Previously: Fruit walls: urban farming in the 1600s."
