The results are in😃! 4 tanks x 700 L cattle slurry: 1 control & 3 with 10% biochar (furze, hazel & rush). Gas vol measured over 2 months. Initial results: Hazel no effect. Furze biochar ~25% more gas than control Rush biochar ~60% less gas than control!

Marie Donnelly said the challenge lies in convincing those who own land to invest in forestry. Sorry Mary it isn't that simple anymore, plenty of landowners interested but they not allowed to plant their land that could have been planted say 10 years ago!

1/2 Very bright future for wood particularly for the less durable species fast growing species eg Aspen and Black Poplar. Superwood is so strong and durable that it can compete with steel, titanium alloys, and even carbon fibre–but at an infinitely much lower price point.

On May 15th, Deputy Roderick O’Gorman (the only remaining Green Party TD) sacrificed valuable speaking time in the Dail to try to justify the science-less, economically juvenile forestry position of the Green Party and in doing so, stir up propaganda and climate scaremongering.

SEEFA and its members support the protection of Ireland's undisturbed blanket peatlands.  Undisturbed deep peat bogs are vital to Ireland's biodiversity and act as a necessary carbon store.  #SEEFA #SaveIrishForestry

Not all peatlands in Ireland are undisturbed, & many are no longer acting as usable carbon stores. Peatlands that have already been drained & are involved in alternative land use can be viable for forestry, improving the land's biodiversity & carbon sequestration potential.

Researchers were monitoring the bioelectrical impulses of spruce trees, when a solar eclipse passed over. The trees not only responded to the solar eclipse – they actively anticipated it, by synchronising their bioelectrical signals hours in advance sciencealert.com/trees-sync-up-…

New research sheds light on the incredible, invisible mycelial networks beneath our feet—where plants and fungi engage in a complex trade of carbon and nutrients. Using cutting-edge robotic imaging, scientists have uncovered how mycorrhizal fungi form efficient, dynamic underground supply chains. This groundbreaking study reveals the fascinating behaviors of these networks and their crucial role in carbon sequestration.

Similar efforts are underway here in Ireland with Daniel Buckley, who has spent several years collecting Black poplar clones. A clone bank is expected to be established at JFK Arboretum in Wexford within the next year or two. theguardian.com/environment/20…

New study uses Gamma rays to put Ireland at the forefront of peatland mapping research. Using this new research approach, the area of soil considered “peaty” within the Tellus geophysical survey potentially increased from 24 % to 30 %. universityofgalway.ie/about-us/news-…

Ireland facing EU fines of up to €26 billion if climate targets missed. Wasn't the annual afforestation target of 8,000ha suppose to offset some of this bill? agriland.ie/farming-news/i…
