Miyawaki forests offer fast-growing, biodiverse native woodlands in small urban spaces.
#Botany #PlantScience #InBrief

Qi and colleagues explored the Miyawaki forest method's feasibility in the UK. This approach involves dense planting of native trees to create mini forests, promising rapid growth and rich biodiversity.

"But apart from the permanently central role of technology in microbiology, there is one conceptual fracture in our otherwise continuous progress toward a better understanding of microbial life that can serve as a line between the still alive and well classical roots of microbiology and its aspiring modern times: our expanding focus from individual organisms in cultures to complex communities in natural habitats, with the admission that “a pure culture is not enough."

'En ouvrant les publications scientifiques à la lecture et en donnant accès aux données associées, on favorise les collaborations, on gagne en efficacité collective car les résultats de la recherche publique sont plus transparents et reproductibles. Cela permet de renforcer le lien de confiance entre science et société, d’autant que les résultats scientifiques sont la matière première pour penser le monde de demain. La crise du Covid-19 est un exemple parlant : un vaccin a été produit en un temps record. Cette prouesse a été permise grâce à l’ouverture des résultats scientifiques.'

"Em primeiro lugar, dos cerca de 3000 investigadores actualmente com contratos precários, 1600 ficarão desempregados no próximo ano e meio. É possível que uma parte destes investigadores venha a ser abrangida pelas 1100 vagas agora anunciadas pelo programa FCT-Tenure, mas é impossível saber quantos, uma vez que estas vagas serão preenchidas através de concursos internacionais. Além disso, a FCT anunciou que “os concursos CEEC Individuais se focarão nos investigadores doutorados em início de carreira” e serão limitados a três anos."

"The shark’s remarkable longevity first came to light in 2016, when a landmark study published in Science used radiocarbon dating methods and modeling techniques to estimate the ages of 28 Greenland sharks.
The researchers found that the oldest sharks could live for about 400 years and reached sexual maturity around age 150."
