Yesterday's presentation at #PintOfScience was very nice, but it reminded me again how little press most agricultural and food topics get (unless there's a trendy new sanitary issue).

So it just made me feel like boosting this old thread and my presentation at the Fediverse Solstice School again, in case anyone wants to read about sustainable agriculture and fertilization.

Lake #Stechlin is showing a notable trend reversal, with #phosphorus concentrations having recently fallen to around half of their peak levels in 2020. This is a sign of improvement, but not an all-clear. A new IGB Dossier outlines the development and next steps: https://www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/new-igb-dossier-ecological-development-lake-stechlin-2021

A #chemical ‘Goldilocks zone’ may limit which #planets can host #life
Research highlights a narrow chemical balance needed to preserve key nutrients
Elements such as #phosphorus and #nitrogen are crucial to assembling cell walls, encoding genetic information and building proteins, among other roles. Imagining life without these nutrients is a stretch, Walton says. “It’s really hard to come up with what an alternative biology would look like.”

A chemical ‘Goldilocks zone’ may limit which planets can host life

Life needs nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. But without the right balance of oxygen, these elements get locked away in planets’ cores.

I've started exploring and learning about rechargeable batteries as a hobby for a few days now and I've spent more than a hundred dollars. That's why I haven't been posting lately

I've bought pretty much the same thing that's on this video lol. Definitely not cheap. I could've bought RE 9 but I chose to spend some money starting out.

If anyone's got experiences with this, pls share. Thanks

Why too much phosphorus in America’s farmland is polluting the country’s water

Plants need phosphorus, and other nutrients, to grow. But soil tests can’t tell if there’s too much.
