  1. RE: scicomm.xyz/@tfardet/109370756

    Yesterday's presentation at #PintOfScience was very nice, but it reminded me again how little press most agricultural and food topics get (unless there's a trendy new sanitary issue).

    So it just made me feel like boosting this old thread and my presentation at the Fediverse Solstice School again, in case anyone wants to read about sustainable agriculture and fertilization.

  6. Lake #Stechlin is showing a notable trend reversal, with #phosphorus concentrations having recently fallen to around half of their peak levels in 2020. This is a sign of improvement, but not an all-clear. A new IGB Dossier outlines the development and next steps: igb-berlin.de/en/news/new-igb-

  7. A #chemical ‘Goldilocks zone’ may limit which #planets can host #life
    Research highlights a narrow chemical balance needed to preserve key nutrients
    Elements such as #phosphorus and #nitrogen are crucial to assembling cell walls, encoding genetic information and building proteins, among other roles. Imagining life without these nutrients is a stretch, Walton says. “It’s really hard to come up with what an alternative biology would look like.”

  8. I've started exploring and learning about rechargeable batteries as a hobby for a few days now and I've spent more than a hundred dollars. That's why I haven't been posting lately

    I've bought pretty much the same thing that's on this video lol. Definitely not cheap. I could've bought RE 9 but I chose to spend some money starting out.

    If anyone's got experiences with this, pls share. Thanks

  11. RE: mastodon.social/@glynmoody/116

    At the beginning of the previous century, #Nitrogen #fixation looked like a limit to human growth, it was required for plant growth.
    Chemical fixation of N2 solved that (now we are running up against #Phosphorus).
    #Ammonia is a key component in that #fertilisation.
    But we would like it in the #ground, not the #air.

  15. For #life to develop on a #planet, certain chemical elements are needed in sufficient quantities.

    #Phosphorus is vital for the formation of DNA and RNA, which store and transmit genetic information, and for the energy balance of cells.

    #Nitrogen is an essential component of proteins, which are needed for the formation, structure, and function of cells.

    Without these two elements, no life can develop out of lifeless matter but there are also more profound consequences.

    During the formation of a #planet's core, there needs to be exactly the right amount of oxygen present so that phosphorus and nitrogen can remain on the surface of the planet.

    This was exactly the case with Earth around 4.6 billion years ago—a stroke of chemical good fortune in the #universe.

    When #planets form, they initially develop out of molten rock.

    A sorting process occurs during this time: heavy metals such as iron sink down and form the core, while lighter metals form the mantle and the crust.

    If there is too little #oxygen present during the formation of the core, phosphorus will fuse with heavy metals such as iron and move to the core.

    This element is then no longer available for the development of life.

    On the other hand, too much oxygen present during core formation leads to phosphorus remaining in the mantle and #nitrogen being more likely to escape into the #atmosphere, ultimately being lost.

  16. "#Agricultural runoff provides perfect nutrients for #methanogen growth.

    #Fertilizer and animal waste washing into ocean systems creates nutrient-rich zones where these methanogens thrive like never before. #Nitrogen and #phosphorus pollution from farmland creates ideal conditions for explosive #microbial growth in #coastal waters and #DeepOcean areas. These agricultural inputs essentially act as fertilizer for #methane-producing microbes, creating a connection between #IndustrialFarming and atmospheric #GreenhouseGas levels that scientists never fully appreciated.

    "Coastal regions near major agricultural areas show the highest concentrations of these supercharged methanogens, with some areas recording methane production levels ten times higher than baseline measurements. The problem compounds itself because areas with intensive farming also tend to have the strongest ocean currents, meaning these fertilized methanogen populations get distributed globally. Every season’s #AgriculturalRunoff creates new opportunities for these microbes to establish thriving colonies in previously stable ocean environments."

  21. RE: ecoevo.social/@DrPlanktonguy/1

    When large quantities of brown #algae are repeatedly #washedashore over an extended period, my first question as an acarologist is naturally which interesting, and possibly phoretic, terrestrial #organisms, such as mites, are specifically #adapted to these #conditions. But these algae are a phenomenon with #ecological #repercussions that must be understood. It is particularly interesting, thus, that it is the #phosphorus content that affects #symbiotic #cyanobacteria, which promote algal growth
