I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

New tree genus discovered that is related to tomatoes and potatoes - SLRPNK

Scientists have identified a rare Andean forest tree related to tomatoes and potatoes as a plant group never named before. The discovery redraws part of the nightshade family and ties the tree to plant chemicals with medical power.

Forests precede civilisations, and deserts follow them.

Forests precede civilisations, and deserts follow them. - SLRPNK

If the history books that I’ve read are correct, then during the time of Alexander the Great, the northern coast of Africa (outside of the areas with higher human population density) was a functioning dry-forest ecosystem. During the time of the Roman Empire, people cut down large areas of forest in order to plant grass – wheat and barley for human consumption, and pasture grass for cows and goats. Without sufficient forest cover to pull in moisture [https://www.thebioticpump.com/] from the Mediterranean, the rains stopped coming, the remaining vegetation died off, and the Sahara Desert advanced to the coast. This was a case of human-caused climate change. > Forests precede civilisations, and deserts follow them. Something to keep in mind the next time that you hear/read that non-forest ecosystems are “natural” and should be preserved as they are.
