Thankfully technology is being used in the fight against natural disasters. Firefighters are using big data to predict the path of wildfires in the US and Australia. Researchers are developing ways to use nuclear weapons tracking technology to detect infrasonic signals from tornados andpredicting volca...
The Venus flytrap has evolved the ability to thrive in this unique ecological niche by finding an alternate means of getting key nutrients like nitrogen. Living creatures like insects provide a good source of the nutrients missing from the soil, and they also contain additional energy-laden carbohy...
Instead Stephens and his colleagues took advantage of previous research that discovered that soils dominated by ectomycorrhizal fungi have a specific pattern of how a stable isotope of heavy nitrogen (15N) is distributed in relation to the normal isotope (14N), with higher 15N concentrations the de...
and if the air is dry the contrails dissipate right away. Also, I assume that in addition to water vapor, the stuff coming out of the end of jet planes also contains nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and other invisible stuff. But according to Carnicom, what we see is vir...
To treat it,avoid over-irrigating or pruning the plants. Do not fertilize manzanitas, especially with high-nitrogen fertilizer, as this can attract the aphids to the nutrient-rich sap. Horticultural oil or neem can be used to kill clustered infestations. ...
Saturate with water It’s primarily the nitrogen in dogs’ urine that turns grass brown and some of this is likely hanging around in areas of dead grass. Give these patches a good soaking to flush nitrogen out of the area that might hamper new growth. ...
Wildfires are common in Australia, and Eucalyptus has adapted to fire by developing the ability to survive and resprout after being burned. Nature is metal. And since they are native to Australia, they’ve been introduced with success into other similar climates. ...
our diesel particulate matter by more than 80 percent, and our nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 50 percent in about eight years. So people can feel that. I can feel the difference in the air. Now, L.A. still has the worst air in America, but it’s 90 percent more healthy t...
Cyanohydrins contain nitrogen and slowly hydrolyse to liberate small amounts of cyanide. It is the cyanide that stimulates germination of some seeds. Only a few other fire-following plants do not respond to either karrikins or cyanohydrins [10], so there might be other, minor compounds ...
