@SwampThingPaul Forested if it has trees- it could be grass dominated.

@DIANA_VAL @robsrw That would be an awesome name!

@robsrw @fern_adame Well, have you heard of "Abya Yala"?

@golpaje True! I thought about it too, but I guess that is a bit harder to change.

@fern_adame Isn’t America even more problematic? It was named after Americo Vespucci who first identified it as the “New World”

@robsrw True, the more you dig into it, you realise of all these names that refer to colonialism, like America, and also "Western" (west from Europe). America would be tough to change, but New World and Neotropical are not official names that we can easily swap

@fern_adame Good to see this articulated. I have long wondered about this in a cursory way. I like your naming suggestions but what can we use for the whole region as I assume Americas is as problematic as Neotropics and Nearctic?

@vishnu_prahalad Awesome! I'll definitely get a copy

Yes!! And I can recommend this book to further break the colonial myth of the ‘new world’

The best

@JennerjahnTim @richardmpalin Meanwhile, I get invitations every-single-day... Unless reviewing was my full time job..

@richardmpalin So true, I experience the same with many of the manuscripts I am handling.

If you're wondering "what's happening with my manuscript?", it's probably this... This isn't just a random paper, it seems to be happening constantly now for both major journals that I edit for. I try to get these through the system, but nobody is available to review... Sigh.

Verra has released its Technical Review of a recent Guardian article and the studies on which the article draws. It finds that the article and 2 of the 3 studies contain serious methodological deficiencies. bit.ly/3JvKN7d #voluntarycarbonmarkets #carbonoffsets3 #REDD

@jaona02540588 In situ probes for nutrients and sulfates are super expensive, better take water samples and send for analyses

I want to conduct an ecological monitoring of mangroves in Madagascar so I wonder if someone can help me how to find and use a platinum electrode for redox potential and spectrometer (H2S) for nutrients and sulfide in situ. Any suggestions? THANKS!
