The unatural environment

Enviromentality is not rocket science.

Everyone has some knowledge about trees. Trees are easy to plant and are an important driver of the climate, and as trees really are doing great things for the climate by recycling water and nutrition. Even children can plant trees, and they should.

Don't waste time - we have a world to save?

Don't drive to the gym - or drive the kids to sports - no, wear sneakers and walk them over there.

Problems that is causing the climate crisis is easily overturnable by changing the devastating methods by which we produce our food, take advantage of energy and use the land.

People, all over the world, have a good idea of what it takes to improve the living conditions. At the top of the wishing list many places today are a cooler climate, fresh breathable air, affordable food supply, more arable land, improved public health, and enhanced biodiversity.

Neither of these are unattainable to provide by choosing global biotechnological eco friendly solutions that boost the bio diversity - and of course stop undermining the living conditions.

We need to systematically put things in the right perspective - and improve our decisions and do what needs to be done about the destruction of living conditions on this planet. That should be enough.

Much of the problems that creates the climate crisis is overturnable by changing the way we produce our food, producing and take advantages of energy. It is as simple as that.

Having said that though, nuclear power is not an epitome of revelation from the power plant - a nuclear power plants takes more than 25 years to construct, are outmost expensive to operate even financially supported - and necessarily need to be renewed three times within a century - they take 12 years to decommission and all he waste must be stowed away for an equally long time going forward - as if people in the Stone Age had made flint-fire-lighters from uranium and the residual products thereby became radioactive and had to be disposed of safely.

The industrial mission of still more nuclear power and supplying ever more electric cars is clearly more about solving energy crisis and energy needs than about what it takes to recover the biosphere, improve living conditions and solve the climate crisis.

Of the many things the public today perceives as critical challenges, the climate is probably the obstacle that gathers the most attention. In our urge to improve the climate, attention is locked to carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases have a completely unique focus.

With good reason, of course, as the amount of greenhouse gases determines the average temperature. The more climate gas - the more devastating weather.

In practice, the solutions are largely about ways of using energy - be it in transport vessels or the use of fuels, as well as how we provide energy for household and production. Green technology.

All of these areas are also - more or less - part of the problem spectrum that politicians and decision-makers regard as climate policy, and these simple measuring points are the axis of rotation for policies in the countries that influence the climate the most.

In medicine, this kind of symptom treatment is considered quackery. To cure the climate a more direct approach is needed to cure the organism for the trauma that threatens it to life.

The climate cannot be improved without starting by influencing the physical contexts that regulate the climate - and not unilaterally just focusing on changing the symptoms.

Green technology is - technically speaking - good for changing the values of measuring points. But is not what this planet needs if the climate is to be improved. It really just extend the problems we already know all too well with boards and patch solutions, and who wants that to happen?

More circularity is a must. Products that doesn't have to be disposed after use, and more ingredients emerged from recycled production rather than new production.

We need to take responsibility for bettering the living conditions on this planet by taking advantage of natural climate solutions?- adopting methods that make use of natural agents such as bio diversity, varying vegetation and avoid taking factors out of the equation that delimit development of a root net culture strengthening the rhizosphere's ability to bind carbon dioxide and water in the upper soil layers.

A greener and life-supporting future, land conservation, locally targeted forestal restoration under naturally improved land management - ubiquitously - are actions that increases carbon storage in the soil - and of course decreases and delimit greenhouse gas emissions - balancing landscapes and wetlands across?the?globe, to address both desertification, the recurrent droughts and delimit food shortages globally.

Enviromentality is not rocket science. Everybody has some knowledge about trees. Trees are easy to plant and are an important driver of the climate, and as trees is really doing great things for the climate by recycling water and nutrition, and a natural cyclicality that provide us with a stable climate.

Even children can plant trees, and they should.

Evapotranspiration is the scientific term for the circulation of water through a plant-covered area; it is due to evaporation from free water surfaces, evaporation, and evaporation through the crevices of the plants, transpiration that vegetation is making the premises for precipitation.

Plants have its roots into the soil to pull water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. During dry periods, transpiration contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone, which affect vegetation and food-crop fields.

An acre of corn gives off about 3,000-4,000 gallons (11,400-15,100 liters) of water each day, and a large oak tree can transpire 40,000 gallons (151,000 liters) per year.

Drying out the top soil by terminating the water cycle is the basic explanation on droughts and wild fires.

The only solution to droughts and wild fires is to remedy the vegetation and recover the top soil, as he upper soil layers is a medium for an invisible and unimaginably large network of cohesive and extensive organisms - intermediate stages between life and reproductive chemistry - that even has its own 'atmosphere' which we call the rhizosphere.

Soil is a complex ecosystem hosting bacteria, fungi, protists, and animals. The biodiversity just below ground surface is by scale nearly of an endless extent into invisible dimensions of microscopic richnesses: Millions of microorganisms live and reproduce in just a few grams of topsoil. Soil is an ecosystem essential for life on earth as it is re-fertilizing this planet.

The fix take advantage of natural climate solutions conservation, restoration and improved land management actions that increases carbon storage in the soil - and delimit carbon emissions in landscapes and wetlands across?the?globe, as these solutions is addressing both desertification, recurrent droughts and food shortages.

Improving life support for complete biomes - within the whole biosphere - connecting new processes to the microbial biomes is a prerequisite to improve the climate.

To support life - anywhere - we can just look to trees.

Trees evolves in their spot of life, and makes the best out of everything.

Trees form alliances, support the flowering of life, share necessities across the rhizosphere and store greenhouse gases to the benefit for the continuous development of life.

Trees form the basis for circular substance cycles that optimizes the biological variation.

Trees show the standards of natural life, and before we go to other worlds, it should be a requirement that we prove that we are able to live up to the standard of trees and takes considerable care of the world we already got.

Improving soil is the only tool big enough to do just that.

By working with the soil, to rehabilitate the natural processes, nature benefits from the intervention instead of getting deteriorated.

It's no secret that the primary tool in farming is soil. What is perhaps less well known is that soil has the capacity to bind more CO2 than top plants and the atmosphere combined.

Plants are nature's way to take CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it in the soil. It has been calculated that it takes an annual 0.4% improvement of the soil to solve the climate problem within our lifetime.

Unfortunately though, we leave the earth with less soil for each harvest, more precisely it has also been calculated that unless we find a way to save our topsoil, we have yet less harvests left on this planet. 60 is suggested.

Popularly said, the tipping point is when more land has become dust and dirt than is overgrown with plants.

Working with?nature therefore necessarily has to become a crucial part of our effort to combat?climate?change.

It works in such a manner that when plants circulate CO2, the carbon goes into plant mass and the rest is distributed to microorganisms and is part of the rhizosphere's metabolic processes, which send the nutrients back into the cycle and clean oxygen into the atmosphere.

NPK is an abbreviation for the plant nutrients Nitrogen (nitrate or ammonium nitrogen), Phosphorus (Phosphate) and Potassium. These substances are reduced in large quantities when harvesting crops from cultivated land, as they simultaneously largely is involved in the cell structure of plants - a large amount of the plants in mono cultural agriculture causes depletion of the soil easily to occur, and result a lack of precisely these and other similar substances, essential minerals + CO2 plus photons, photosynthesis and evapotranspiration is not only feeding the plants and make nutrients available across the rhizosphere - just like informations on world wide web - the plants actually is creating the life conditions on this planet.

A world - from bacterias and viras in a number greater than the stars on the sky, fungi in an unknown number, and earthworms that actually are providing the soil we all live by, and irrigating and fertilizing the land from beneath by bioturbation.?

Making the scope large enough - trees becomes a key species in the ecological reality we call Nature, as they makes the living natural wonder possible by capacity of extended and connected root net, wood to store immense amounts of carbon and reproduction of water and important driver of the climate. Soil is the vital "engine" running the cyclicality by which leaves becomes leaves, again and again...

The basic currents in the water cycle are: evaporation of water from the surface of oceans and other water as well as from the earth. Evaporation (transpiration) of water from plants. horizontal transport of atmospheric water from one place to another, either as water vapor, liquid water droplets or ice crystals in clouds.

Evapotranspiration is the total evaporation from a plant-covered area; it is due to evaporation from free water surfaces, evaporation, and evaporation through the crevices of the plants, transpiration.

Plants have its roots into the soil to pull water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration. Transpiration rates vary widely depending on weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sunlight availability and intensity, precipitation, soil type and saturation, wind, and land slope.

During dry periods, transpiration can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone, which can have an effect on vegetation and food-crop fields.

During a growing season, a leaf will transpire many times more water than its own weight. An acre of corn gives off about 3,000-4,000 gallons (11,400-15,100 liters) of water each day, and a large oak tree can transpire 40,000 gallons (151,000 liters) per year.

Atmospheric factors affecting transpiration

The amount of water that plants transpire varies greatly geographically and over time. There are a number of factors that determine transpiration rates:

Temperature: Transpiration rates go up as the temperature goes up, especially during the growing season, when the air is warmer due to stronger sunlight and warmer air masses. Higher temperatures cause the plant cells which control the openings (stoma) where water is released to the atmosphere to open, whereas colder temperatures cause the openings to close.

Relative humidity:?As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate falls. It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air.

Wind and air movement:?Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate. Wind will move the air around, with the result that the more saturated air close to the leaf is replaced by drier air.

Soil-moisture availability:?When moisture is lacking, plants can begin to senesce (premature aging, which can result in leaf loss) and transpire less water.

Type of plant:?Plants transpire water at different rates. Some plants which grow in arid regions, such as cacti and succulents, conserve precious water by transpiring less water than other plants.

As the evapotranspiration is the total evaporation from the soil surface and from the surface of the plants.?Pr. day, it can not exceed 5 liters of water per. m2. From this figure one can calculate the maximum loss of water per. days when you know the area of the drip zones of the plants.

In many places, the top layer of soil, where the plant roots are located, is above the groundwater table and is therefore often wet to some degree, but is not totally saturated, like soil below the water table.

The soil above the groundwater table gets wet when it rains as water infiltrates into it from the surface but it will dry out without further rainfall. Since the groundwater table is usually below the depth of the plant roots, the plants are dependent on water supplied by precipitation.

Plant roots can penetrate into the saturated zone below the groundwater table in places where the groundwater table is near the land surface, such as next to lakes and oceans, allowing the plants to transpire water directly from the groundwater system. Here, groundwater transpiration usually results in a immersion of the groundwater table, much like the effect of a pumped well.

Forests play a key role in regulating the climate and maintaining the hydrological cycle.?Studies show that forests impact cloud formation and has a dynamic effect at the climate .

We find amplified clouds over most temperate and boreal forests, other studies show that chemical signals via the root net affect the composition of transpiration, so that cloud formation is regulated via the network of plant cover, especially forests.

The spatial variation in precipitation is caused by sensitive warming, where cloud amplification is more likely to occur over forests with greater sensory heat and cloud inhibition over forests with less sensory heat.

The Rhizospheres decreasing ability to maintain clouds over the Amazon, Central Africa, and the southeastern US is a clear reason to recurrent droughts and spontaneous wild fires.

Continued loss of forest cover has led to an increase in clouds compared to forest loss hotspots in the Amazon (+ 0.78%), Indonesia (+ 1.19%) and the southeastern United States (+ 0.09%), but cloud reduction in Eastern Siberia (-0, 20%) from 2002-2018.

As the great plains, and the Pampas are driven by fuel, fertilizer, water from other places and running machines, a number of vicious cycles are active here.

We also need to focus on developing food production, in ways that is taking strain off the environment, destroy agricultural land or deplete unrenewable resources such as phosphorus and water.

The economic and redistributive aspects play a crucial role as it is necessary to attentend to facilitate food supply also on the brim of the markets.?Without slash and burn agriculture, or making immense amounts of charcoal.

By short, if many people are too poor to afford buying food, there will be serious hunger problems, no matter how much food we may produce under any circumstances.

The hard question is: How can we ensure the agricultural development are able to meet the demand to supply affordable plentiful food to an exponentially growing population under declining soil fertility and deteriorating climate conditions?

In reality, it is impossible to avoid many of the problems we encounter today.

There is no simple answers to this question. It is though crucial to target the development of agricultural production simultaneously at all levels, to ensure the supply is plentiful enough to meet the demand.

It can only be done by combining benefits of cyclic processes and linear progression in a ground up perspective.

Ubiquitous.

Terrestrial and marine ecosystems play an important role in?regulating climate. They currently absorb roughly half of man-made carbon emissions.?

Cut in card board:?

Biodiversity and ecosystem services actually help us to adapt to and mitigate?climate?change. Working?with?nature therefore necessarily has to become a crucial part of our effort to combat?climate?change.

We choose opportunities and opt out of the problems created based on choices we make every single day.

The power of many is the force that both creates and opens up for the solution of crises.

What almost hurts the most is that not only we know what is wrong, but also actually knows what it takes to turn off the climates deterioration and restore good living conditions for everybody on earth.

In a world where there is so much pressure on food supply - and where more than every other child who dies before the age of 5 will have died due to malnutrition, we should value the soil more and protect it as the irreplaceable resource it is and develop communities that can live with nature and not by.

The global demand for food is increasing - ever faster - in terms of quantity, quality and reliability of supplies. As more than 90% of our nutritions is cultivated in - or by - a practically (not reproducible by industrial processes) non-renewable natural resource – the soil.

To keep up with global food demand, estimates is calling 6m hectares (14.8m acres) of new farmland needed every year, and that's just to cope up with the demands - in a world where the better half of all deaths in children under 5 years are attributable to undernutrition - and actually malnutrition and starvation takes a child every 12 seconds. Instead, 12m hectares a year are lost through soil degradation: We drive all the nutrients out of it, moves on, trashing rainforests and other precious habitats as we go.

Comprehensive soil conservation practices are required to respond to the global problems from soil degradation, that is, if the world is just to be able to feed more than the 9 billion people we are by 2050, and by the historical population growth, at end of this century we must nourish staggering 27 billion people.

Many of the models used today though predict that population growth will flatten out in line with economic development, urbanization and improved general public health programs.

The UN has analyzed the population development of the world towards the year 2300 and the conclusion is that the growth of the global population is expected to decline.

But as long as child mortality remains high, it makes real sense to have many children because the risk of some of them will die is high. This means that in many particularly African, but also Asian countries, will experience demographic predominance in young populations.

The challenge is thus to keep birth rates in line with child mortality, so that population growth naturally will stabilize over time.?All this presupposes that malnutrition of mothers and children flattens out and the number of premature babies and malnourished mothers decreases over the next 6 decades, and that the future food production is increased over the next 40 years - so that food can be provided to more than 2 billion more people than there is on the planet today.

The extensive use of fertilizers in most places and slash-and-burn agriculture elsewhere, forces the soil to chemically deplete and leaves the soil barren and turns the soil into the rock it actually is. Deprived of life.

It is estimated that soil degradation we practise take-out a potential yield of 20 million tonnes of grain every year, and this is even likely to be a rough underestimate, as the figures are masked from the actual effects of soil degradation on food production (e.g., additions of chemical fertilizers).

Life is a coincidence physically, chemically and biological bonded to this planet. Cardinal is that keystone species develop in the right window of possibilities - with the right chemistry - and presence of the right biomes of biology and co-fertilizers, to transform the surface to soil by improving mineral nutrition, thus making it available up through the food chains.

The rhizosphere is a series of biomes - within the upper soil layers - and is similar to an?information super highway?because of the proximity of nodes and storage, which include roots, and organisms in the soil, and the methods for transferring data using exudates and communities.

As the upper soil layers is medium for an invisible and unimaginably large network of cohesive and extensive organisms - intermediate stages between life and reproductive chemistry - that exudes chemical signal substances, and even has its own network environment which we call the rhizosphere.

The biodiversity, just below ground surface, is by scale nearly of an endless extent into invisible dimensions of microscopic richnesses: Millions of microorganisms live and reproduce in just a few grams of topsoil, this is the fundamental ecosystem essential for life on earth as it is fertilizing this planet, adding nutrients on a literally restrained hourglass.

Unlike the rest of the world's mammals, we humans have been cultivating the land for more than 10,000 years, and boast of being the ones who invented agriculture. Well, that's not the entire picture.

Man has built a culture of cooperation around cultivating the land. Of course with the obvious reason that it is really beneficial to cooperate, because more than anything else it is agriculture that has liberated us from wandering around the landscapes on rumpling stomachs searching for something to eat.

Agriculture lies reason why we have been able to form geographical and global communities and have developed us in all sorts of directions other than what is required to meet the challenges of everyday life: Food available in lavish quantities and lengths of educations exceeding the average middle age when we entered the agrarian revolution 10,000 years ago.

But in the insect world we have a small inconspicuous counterpart that has managed to create a culture of cooperation right under our feet, they also cultivates land, harvests crops and constantly develops antimicrobial substances by which they fight pests and thus protect both their crops and themselves from their enemies - just like us - a specific distinction is that they have been doing this for more than 50 million years, and - unlike us - they produce secretions with their body on which their society is built.

How cool though a fast electric vehicle can drive eco friendly around, saving the world is not done by producing bigger lithium batteries, or sip more organic coffee from cardboard mugs. We cannot save this place without literally getting dirt on our hands to save the soil.

More frequently jumping into rubber boots - organizing environmentally right and improving varied vegetation - with small trees, shrubs and ground cover and a thick root layer filled with fat worms, phosphorus and moist is by far more useful for the environment.

Driving around in electric vehicles really help a lot, if the microwave oven is competing with the entertainment electronics the rest of the day of making the meter run.

Most people doesn't think much of what our combined oozing around on the www all day long is stressing the atmosphere - letting more carbon dioxide out to the atmosphere that the combined emission from a country like the Netherlands.
