Addressing biodiversity authentically and effectively

GreenBiz

Our dedication to the environment therefore expanded to forest management in 2003 with the establishment of Natural Water Sanctuaries, aimed to nurture quality groundwater around our production sites in Japan. The ultimate goal of Natural Water Sanctuaries is to foster soil structure that will cultivate quality groundwater sustainably.

CornCaster: How Planet’s Yield Forecasting Solution is Helping Agriculturists and Economists Get Ahead of This Year’s Harvest

Planet Pulse

The root-mean-square error (rmse) is a measure of the model uncertainty, by calculating the mean absolute differences between the yield values predicted by the model and the final yield values for the historical runs of 2003-2021. Spring started with extraordinarily wet conditions, which can be seen from the Soil Water Content data (Fig.

Arctic fires released more carbon in two months than Scandinavia will all year

Grist

Combined with the fact that some of this year’s fires appear to be burning into carbon-rich peat soils , the ultimate climate impact of this year’s fire season could be much greater than what scientists are currently estimating. With unusually high temperatures continuing to bake the Arctic , the flames show no immediate signs of dying down.

Sometimes, only a thin layer of soil covers yawning craters where the ice has vanished, what Hasson calls “ghost ice wedges.” Many variables influence permafrost’s stability, like how cold it is, how deep it runs, and the quantity of soil moisture, or its “ice richness.” Many of the valley’s spruce trees lean drunkenly.

Seattle Recycling and Green Living News Round-up

Living Green Technology

Overall, recycling in Seattle has gone up by 20% since 2003. Unfortunately, Hong Kong’s Environmental Protection department seems to be doing little to pursue prosecuting this matter, even after dangerously high concentrations of toxic materials have already been found in soil samples. They’re like little lie detectors.’
