    www.dailykos.com via @moviegeek16  &bull Feb 22, 2010

    Climate change will do more than make life on Earth a bit warmer. Even a 5th-grader can tell you that. The problem with people like James Inhofe is that they are not smarter than 5th-graders. The high heat that accompanied the recent drought was the underlying cause of death for millions of pinyon pines throughout the Southwest, according to new research. The resulting landscape change will affect the ecosystem for decades. Hotter temperatures coupled with drought are the type of event predicted by global climate… Full Story »

    Organic Gardening Supply | Backyard Landscape Ideas &bull Feb 20, 2010

    Youve spent quite a bit time and effort to make sure your garden is laid out in the most promising way and considering how best to grow that garden organically. Watering the garden every evening after dinner can be good therapy for the gardener, but its not good for the plants. When the soil is often sprinkled on top but never deeply soaked, plant roots tend to remain in the damp, upper few inches of soil where they are vulnerable to searing mid-summer heat and drought. Vegetable plants need an average of 2-inches of water a week. Be sure to… Full Story »

    The Forest Ecology Preserve is a lovely piece of ground owned by Auburn University. On it you will find miles of trails through the forest. If you spend some time there you will find such things as a turtle pond with a little pier going out on the water, a deer blind, a "natural" playground for children, informative signs, and in the spring I have even tasted blackberries along the power-line trail. At any rate, it is a… Full Story »

    In September of 1835, Charles Darwin was visiting an island of Floreana, one of the smaller islands in the Galapagos archipelago where he came across crawling beds of Sicyos villosus, a fairly typical member of the squashes and cucumbers (Cucurbitaceae). Darwin noted that the cucurbit was "injurious" to the surrounding vegetation, referring to its prolific takeover of the landscape nearby. Darwin sent a sample of S. villosus (pictured above) back to Great Britain along with 209 other plants from the Galapagos, where Joseph Hooker described it and since then, it's been sitting in one receptacle or another for the past… Full Story »
