A new study finds that forests 🌳 and other ecosystems adapt to rising temperatures 🌡️, reducing the expected release of CO₂ 🌍. This means future climate feedbacks from land respiration may not be as bad as once feared.

#Agroecology offers blueprint for #resilient farming in northern #Ghana
by Caleb Ahinakwah, 5 Dec 2024
Excerpt: "Alley cropping in practice: Healing the land
"As climatic conditions worsen, farmers in the region are turning to agroforestry techniques. One approach that has taken root, literally, in the Builsa area is alley cropping, which integrates trees with traditional farming practices. Tree Aid, an international nonprofit that works on forest and land restoration projects in Ghana and elsewhere, introduced this technique to farmers in the region in 2014. Farmers have planted rows of trees such as shea, baobab and moringa 12 meters (39 feet) apart, and continued to grow crops like millet, cowpeas and groundnuts beneath them.
"Yakubu Issah began planting baobab and shea trees on his farm five years ago. 'At first, it seemed like extra work with little reward. But now, our millet grows healthier, the soil holds water longer, and we even earn extra income by selling baobab leaves,' he said.
"He added that bees have returned, along with birds and squirrels: 'The farm feels alive again."'

Meanwhile, here in #Maine...
Students explore nature and sustainability with #MaineLocalLivingSchool
Kingfield Elementary School students participated in an immersive day of place-based learning, guided by the Maine Local Living School, which focuses on practical skills and ecological #stewardship, and Arbor Mountain Tree Service, exploring #sustainable forestry, acorn ecology, and bridge construction.
By Rebecca Richard, December 5, 2024
KINGFIELD — "There was a whirlwind of activity last month at Kingfield Elementary School [KES] as students immersed themselves in a day of place-based learning with Maine Local Living School and Arbor Mountain Tree Service. Tailored for each grade level, the lessons highlighted ecological connections, sustainable practices and community engagement through hands-on projects.
"The Maine Local Living School, dedicated to teaching practical skills and fostering ecological stewardship, partnered with Arbor Mountain Tree Service to guide students in exploring sustainable forestry, acorn ecology and hands-on bridge construction.
"Kindergarten and first grade students worked with Chris Knapp of Maine Local Living School to explore the seasonal abundance of acorns. 'This fall was a tremendous acorn harvest,' Knapp said, explaining how the lessons tied to the season. Students acted out the germination process of an acorn and identified oak leaves using compare-and-contrast exercises.
"Knapp also emphasized the cultural significance of acorns. 'We honored the long history of peoples for whom acorn has been and is a staple crop,' he said. The day ended with students playing a food web game, simulating predator and prey roles while gathering acorns and enjoying freshly baked acorn biscuits.
"Second and fourth grade students collaborated with Knapp on constructing a community footbridge to cross a stream in the biodiversity field at the front of the school. “The footbridge project reflects Maine Local Living School’s and KES’s shared goals to engage in project-based learning,” Knapp said.
"The students began by identifying cedar trees, prized for their rot-resistant properties and thinned over 20 saplings from a dense stand. 'Students were asked to consider which trees were the best candidates for the future forest based on crown health, upright habit, and space,' Knapp explained."

Timber harvesting has stopped near the site where an endangered coastal emu nest was found in a state forest near Grafton on the NSW North Coast. Coastal emus are critically endangered, with fewer than 50 thought to still exist in the wild.

Kinda fucked up that this logging activity visible from space that completely defines the landscape as essentially a tree farm that is shaved bald in patches every 10 years and never gets to be an #ecosystem is considered "sustainable forestry" #logging #forestry #southwestwashingtonstate #sustainableforestry
& Most loggers in the area are MAGACHUDS, at least from my experience selling them groceries for 5 years at the big box store. The environmental degradation is putting food on the table for little Braxxtley who will probably become a brutal local warlord in the post-American era.
