@sciencegirl I'd be cool if the picture wasn't fake. Makes me doubt if it's real

China may have discovered a quicker method to help slow the expansion of deserts. The approach focuses on biological soil crusts, which are very thin natural layers made up of microorganisms such as cyanobacteria, fungi, mosses, and other microbes that gradually form on desert surfaces. These are often described as a kind of living protective covering for sandy ground. Under normal conditions, these crusts take many decades to develop on their own. However, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences report that they were able to speed up the process by cultivating cyanobacteria in a lab and spraying them onto loose sand. Once applied, the microbes begin to spread and quickly bind sand particles together. As they grow, they release sticky substances that act like a natural adhesive, gradually creating a stable surface layer that can withstand wind erosion and reduce the impact of dust storms. In experimental areas near the Taklamakan Desert in northwestern China, scientists observed that strong, stable crusts formed within roughly ten to sixteen months. This is important because shifting sand makes it extremely difficult for ecosystems to recover. Wind constantly moves the surface, preventing plant roots from taking hold. Once the ground is stabilised, however, grasses and shrubs have a far better chance of growing. The developing crust also improves soil quality. It helps retain moisture, limits water loss through evaporation, keeps nutrients close to the surface, and slowly builds up organic material that supports future plant growth. Some cyanobacteria can also absorb nitrogen from the air, naturally enriching the soil over time. Testing showed that treated areas were far more resistant to wind erosion, with reductions of more than ninety percent in laboratory conditions. If successful on a larger scale, this method could help slow desertification, the gradual degradation of productive land into desert caused by factors such as drought, climate change, deforestation, and overgrazing. Researchers do, however, emphasise that this is not a complete solution. The crusts can still be damaged by human or animal activity such as grazing, walking, or vehicles, and long term effectiveness will depend on weather patterns and careful land management.

@aaronburnett Oooo k

@luinalaska Not quite. The three credit companies do it not the government. Don't troll

@HoosierEnquirer Comparing this is stupid. Cut out the bs and ask your question about the Muslims

Why did the US gov burn alive 80+ Americans at Waco over unregistered guns claim but ignores a fortified Muslim compound in Plainfield, IN with a bio lab, crematory, military fencing & armed security? Why did Indiana State Senator Mike Young from Indianapolis confirm the Muslim compound funnel money through terrorist organizations? Why is our own Government giving them millions of dollars in grants? We deserve answers immediately. Indiana is a Christian state. Investigate ISNA. #Waco #Plainfield #investigateISNA

“Nick Shirley tells Donald Trump what he’s been seeing at protests.” Same faces in different states. Same signs in different cities. He says they show up again and again — even overseas. At some point, that’s not coincidence. That’s organized.

@TONYxTWO He is protected by God

Donald Trump now has the highest number of credible assassination attempts involving gunfire of any U.S. president You are witnessing history. America is under attack.

@SenSanders You got him this time. You grifter

Question for Musk: You tell us not to worry about the jobs that’ll be wiped out by AI & robotics because the government will provide everyone with “universal high income.” Really? How will that be paid for when you can’t even support a 5% tax on your $817 billion in wealth?

@XyloBits For all those people trying to get rid of fossil fuels. Good luck

steps crude oil pass through to form fuel and other finished product

Hasan Piker subpoenaed by the feds for his activities in Cuba

No, he should NOT touch your phone but you shouldn’t be filming in the first place and it’s NEVER ok to put your hands on someone.

@EndWokeness Oooo k

This is who is advising Mayor Johnson not to implement a teen curfew. Not joking.

@giveashitnature Never knew. That's cool

The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters. Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow. Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations. The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species. The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west. A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.

Gavin Newsom is telling Californians to boycott Chevron because they're "ripping you off." Today: - Chevron, L.A. County CA: $6.39 - Chevron, Jackson County MS: $3.99 It's not the oil companies ripping us off in California, it's Gavin Newsom and the Democrats. Vote for change!

@StikNtheMud @Better2GetherNM Did he just mansplain to her

😳OMG, New Mexico! Can you get any more embarrassing with your Democrat picks for Governor🤦‍♀️

And this is: The Capitol Police cuffed an FBI-paid confidential human source, led him to the side, uncuffed him, and gave him a fist bump. In other words, the January 6 “attack” was a criminal conspiracy — instigated by Nancy Pelosi and others — carried out by Christopher Wray to set the stage and entrap Trump supporters, allowing the illegitimate, unelected terrorist organization to brand them as domestic terrorists. So why the hell haven’t the rest of the f**king tapes been released yet?

The next Governor of California, @ChadBianco shines a light on his plans for rolling back unconstitutional gun laws in the state of California. Don’t let the accelerationists and political operatives tell you different, he is here to protect the Constitution for everyone.
