  2. Sacred Sites As Refuges For Native Plant Diversity In An Urbanized Tropical Landscape [Madagascar]

    “When [the authors] investigated the potential for blue-green infrastructures for the capital of Madagascar,… a large team surveyed plant communities along a rural-urban gradient.
    They found that 12 Malagasy "sacred" hill settlements, situated in the core of a pre-colonial kingdom, are particularly precious as they host a high diversity of native plants. A key insights when one considers that Madagascar is a unique hotspot for biodiversity and human cultures…”

    “In fragmented and intensively managed remnant urban green spaces, enabling natural regeneration is crucial to sustain ecosystem functioning and associated services. Natural regeneration therefore offers an important lens into ecological resilience in human-modified landscapes. Here [the authors] present one of the most comprehensive field-based assessments of urban plant diversity in the Afrotropics, comprising over 25,000 naturally regenerating woody plant individuals of 206 species (39% native) across 329 vegetation patches in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Landscape-level native species diversity declined with greater building complexity, density and socio-economic development, whereas exotic species showed no consistent associations with determinants of urban characteristics. Native species richness was highest in ‘sacred’ forest fragments, many of which contain historic remains dating back to pre-colonial times. Notably, seven of the ten most species-rich patches were located in such sites. [Their] findings highlight the potentially important role of these sites in sustaining native species diversity and indicate how socio-cultural factors can present both opportunities and barriers for tropical urban conservation and restoration...”

  3. #Transport for #London has awarded #Haringey, #Lewisham and #Southwark up to £10m each over four years to deliver borough-led schemes under the Better Bus Partnerships programme. The funding will support measures to cut journey times by up to 30 per cent, improve reliability and make buses a more attractive alternative to private cars. Planned work includes new bus priority lanes, better management of roadworks, upgraded stops and safer walking links to stations. The three boroughs were selected through a competitive process and will now work with #TfL on detailed #planning through 2026, with delivery expected from 2027. TfL says the programme will boost customer experience and support wider goals for cleaner, greener travel. Borough leaders welcomed the investment, highlighting the importance of reliable #buses for residents who do not own cars and the role of improved services in supporting #regeneration, better connections and safer, more accessible streets.

  5. Upon the event of my pathetically over-booked #apotheosis I #need to be addressed as #Dahl #E #Pardon.

    It will streamline the new character sheet #regeneration #process considerably.

  6. If you're familiar with #EasternHemlock #forests then you might picture them as a closed #canopy with sparse vegetation in the #understory.

    But when a fallen tree opens up that canopy, the #gap supports a profusion of #regeneration.

    Very cool to find this understory #heterogeneity at #RBWinterStatePark in #Pennsylvania.

  7. In addition to organ regeneration, research continues into the development of purely artificial replacement organs using printed biomaterials combined with cell tissue. But existing bioinks have had cytotoxicity issues.

    Now, a Korea Institute team have developed a temperature sensitive hydrogel that induces growth factors and cellular regeneration and biodegrades afterwards.

  8. Hinkley Point C to fund £1m Bridgwater regeneration project

    Trust this doesn't prove a white-elephant.

    Not a fan of nuclear power personally.

    Yes it's clean, but there are huge consequences should an accident occur (e.g. Chernobyl, Fukushima).

    The spent fuel-rods can be reprocessed, but any waste has a half-life of centuries before it's safe. That's my main gripe.
