Wetlands emit ~1/3 of global methane, a climate driver. Yet their emissions are the biggest uncertainty in the methane budget. Our new study (https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2025-3601) with the ICON model shows wetland CH₄ rose 12% since 1855, driven by CO₂ fertilization. Emissions are highly sensitive to hydrology and only captured in coupled land-atmosphere models. Accurate climate projections need interactive wetlands! #climateScience #methane #wetlands #earthSystemModeling #climateChange #Research

Also in #GorhamME -- it looks like the local government is pushing ahead with the #AmazonWarehouse , despite citizen opposition (and why our town is considering a moratorium on big warehouses along with datacenters)! And, if this is built, you can bet that the #GorhamConnector will be built -- cutting through forests and farms ( #SmilingHillFarm ), and inducing more sprawl!!!
Amazon representatives detail warehouse plans at Gorham board meeting
by Jane Park
Updated Mon, August 3, 2026"The Gorham Planning Board discussed potential changes to an Amazon warehouse proposal, including reducing parking spaces to protect #wetlands.
"The Gorham Planning Board met Monday night to continue discussing possibly building an Amazon warehouse.
"The facility would be on a 94-acre of land off Main Street.
"Representatives for #BluewaterPropertyGroup, who are developing the Amazon facility, appeared at the meeting and said they are proposing changes to the scale of the operation amid criticism from residents.
"The changes include reducing the number of parking spaces at the site to help preserve wetlands. However, representatives said this would result in fewer deliveries because Amazon trucks would have less parking available.
" 'We also showed some alternative site plans that relocated van parking to the other areas of the site, but studying this led to further disturbance of wetlands, leaving the board, the DEP, and the community to choose between residents or resources,' Alexandra Escamilla, Bluewater Property representative, said.
"Board members also raised traffic and noise concerns at the meeting. They shared concerns of traffic during school and work hours, as well as whether the noise of the facility would be disruptive to nearby residents.
"Amazon representatives responded by saying the deliveries would not begin until after 10 a.m., and they are using technology and fences to try to mitigate the noise.
"The board will have another meeting about the warehouse on Sept. 14."

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🔬🌸 Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.
These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

"#Rewilding is not land abandonment; it requires carefully considered action to restore natural processes and functions.
"We must learn from the complex #habitat mosaics that once characterized Britain’s uplands, while preparing them for a #climate with no historical equivalent.
"The task is to manage short-term transition risks while allowing #ecosystems to reorganize into functional, climate-resilient states."

The battle over peat: why do some gardeners still insist on using it?
By Rachel DixonPeat bogs are essential to the environment, holding twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. But in the UK, 80% are damaged, most of what is extracted is used in horticulture – and some campaigners fear the problem is getting worse

#MaineByFoot - #MassabesicExperimentalForest
#AlfredMEPreserve Size: 3,700 acres
"This experimental forest, which is used by the U.S. Forest Service for forest ecology and management research, is better organized for walking than its northern partner, the Massabesic Experimental Forest in Lyman.
"Here there are a few well-blazed, easy-to-follow footpaths, as well as a 1-mile old forest road cutting through the land that is flat and easy. Additionally, there are several twisty trails that aren’t blazed but seem as if they would appeal to mountain bikers. These unmarked tracks are often identifiable by small boulders parked at their entrance where they split from the old forest road. I’ve marked the blazed and un-blazed trails with different colors in my map.
"An interesting spot in this area is the largest #AtlanticWhiteCedar #wetlands in #NewEngland, which you can visit by hiking the 1-mile #ClaytonCarlTrail to the #AtlanticWhiteCedarTrail. These paths are accessed from the main track, on the west side of the forest.
"Additionally, there is a very pretty short trail on the other side of #WhichersMillRoad. The easy and wide 0.5-mile #CharlesESwettTrail takes you to the shores of #EstesLake. The rocks here look like they would make good swimming perches."

Farmworkers Heal Climate-Scarred Land With #NativeSeeds
At #California’s #HedgerowFarms, specialists produce seeds to #revegetate burned areas, reestablish #wetlands, and transform drought-prone #farmland
By Caleb Hampton
July 7, 2025
"Quiroz and Gómez are seed-cleaning specialists and field workers at Hedgerow Farms, a native seed farm near the #CentralValley town of #WintersCA. Hedgerow’s collectors gather seeds from native plants in the wild, and field workers grow them out at the 300-acre farm to produce more seeds. This spring, neat rows of #mugwort, #PurpleNeedlegrass, and #CaliforniaPoppies sprouted in the midst of neighboring almond orchards, tomatoes, and alfalfa.
"Government agencies, tribes, and other land managers use the seeds to revegetate #FireRavagedAreas, transform #AbandonedFarmland, reestablish wetlands, and repair other damaged or altered lands, creating environments that support local #ecosystems and #biodiversity.
" 'We’re doing something for the planet,' Quiroz said in Spanish.
"Recreational areas have benefited too: Hedgerow Farms’ #SilverbushLupine grows in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and its #NativeGrasses can be found in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area outside Sacramento. The farm also supplies native seeds to seed packet retailers, helping sow #DroughtResistant plants and establish #pollinator habitat in #urban environments.
"Some projects, such as the ongoing restoration of the #KlamathRiverBasin in Oregon and California, involve billions of seeds — from various suppliers, including Hedgerow — spread across thousands of acres. 'Native vegetation is the foundation of a healthy #ecosystem,' the #YurokTribe said in a social media post showing #wildflowers blooming this spring in the scar of a former reservoir.
"After four dams were removed from the #KlamathRiver, the tribe began #revegetating the riverbanks last year, planting species such as #milkweed — a key food source for #MonarchButterflies — that once flourished in the watershed."

Campaigners present ‘#VisionOfHope’ for #Scotland to become #rewilding nation - #ScottishRewildingAlliance said the country can ‘lead the movement for global change’.
"We also need to support #nature to help address the #ClimateCrisis and to create a climate resilient Scotland. We know we must protect and restore the natural environment for future generations."
Nick Forbes
Wednesday 04 December 2024"A campaign group calling for Scotland to be declared the world’s first '#RewildingNation' has presented the Scottish Government with proposals for rewilding 30% of the country’s land and seas.
"The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, a coalition of more than 20 conservation and nature-focused organisations, presented what it called its 'vision of hope' to Scotland’s climate action minister, Alasdair Allan, during a reception in Edinburgh.
"The alliance said rewilding 30% of Scotland can be achieved if ministers 'show leadership' and commit to 'meaningful action' to restore habitats including #peatlands, native #woodlands, #wetlands, #rivers and #seas.
"It said this can be achieved while maintaining and benefiting productive #farmland.
"Doing so, they said, would help tackle the connected nature and climate emergencies, and create benefits for people and local communities around health, jobs, sustainable food production, re-peopling, clean air and water, and healthy rivers and seas."
