Scientific FrontlineA comprehensive #European study reveals that 70% of soils are #contaminated with #pesticide residues, which significantly suppress beneficial soil organisms like #mycorrhizal #fungi and #nematodes , thereby impairing essential soil #biodiversity and function.

Scientific FrontlineInteractions between #Yellowstone #wolves and #cougars are driven by wolves usurping cougar kills, prompting cougars to adapt by shifting their diet to smaller prey that can be consumed quickly and utilizing escape terrain to avoid fatal encounters.

Scientific FrontlineThe addition of #manganese to #agricultural soil significantly lowers plant-available nitrogen forms (ammonium and nitrate), resulting in reduced nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions and decreased nitrate leaching into waterways.

The National Guard does need to be called in, and in every state—to run ICE out of the country, and that dictator out too. Time to stop protests, and time to take our country back.
Local police departments need to start doing their job—Protect and Serve.

Scientific Frontline#Supervolcanoes are distinct #thermodynamic entities defined by the explosive ejection of over 1,000 cubic kilometers of bulk deposits (VEI 8) and the subsequent formation of massive #calderas through crustal collapse rather than edifice construction. There's no doom and gloom here, you might just as well relax a bit.
