Ancient Amazonians created mysterious ‘dark earth’ on purpose

Soil study suggests today’s Indigenous Amazonians are making new terra preta

Mysterious patches of fertile black soil pepper the verdant Amazon rainforest. They sit in stark contrast with the reddish, eroded soil that dominates the basin. Researchers have long thought this Amazonian dark earth—or terra preta—was created by pre-Hispanic Indigenous civilizations, which have inhabited the region for millennia, but it wasn’t clear how. Now, a multidisciplinary team of scientists and Indigenous partners suggests the ancient Amazonians intentionally created the rich soil thousands of years ago to better foster their crops, and that their modern-day descendants are still making new terra preta today.

INFLUENCE OF ALKALI HYDROXIDE EFFLUENT GENERATED THROUGH CONDITIONING OF PRODUCER GAS ON BLACK SOIL |  Journal of Global Agriculture and Ecology

H2, CO, CH4, CO2, N2, Tar, SPM, and water vapour, as well as other gaseous pollutants including NH3, H2S, and SO2, are all present in biomass gasification producer gas. The majority of producer gas applications necessitate a low Tar content. As a result, the producing gas must be cleaned before it can be used again. There are several methods for cleaning producing gas, but each has its own set of restrictions. Alkali hydroxide (NaOH) is used to condition production gas since it has an alkaline composition and should offset the acidic nature of the producer gas. Different concentrations of alkali hydroxide were used to condition the producing gas, resulting in effluent. Impurities such as tar, SPM, and other pollutants can be found in this effluent. It's thought that wastewater contains tar and other pollutants, and that dumping it in the soil will deteriorate its quality. For the studies, the physical and chemical properties of soil were taken into account. Color, soil texture, moisture content, bulk density, pore space, water holding capacity, and specific gravity are physical parameters of soil; however, chemical parameters include pH, calcium carbonate, macronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium), and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium) and essential micronutrient (Nitrogen, Phosphorous (Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper). The Chi Square test was used to statistically analyse the data at a significance level of 5%. Except for water holding capacity, nitrogen phosphorus, and manganese in soil, most of the characteristics are non-significant (at 5% and 10% level of significance), although these factors have a significant impact on crop production, plant growth, and vegetation.

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

#i could write essays about how capitalism ruined the internet. #i was actually talking to someone earlier today about how youtube was kind of effectively ruined by monetisation. #and they were raised in the soviet union and we had a bit of a talk about how art was better because it wasn't for profit. #the people who made art made it because they wanted to do it and because they loved it. #she said that communism was terrible for every aspect of life for her. people's lives under communism wasn't pretty. #but the art was better. and i feel like it's true for the internet – it was better when it was a free-for-all. #the companies didn't know how to exploit it yet and turn it into a neverending profit-driven hellscape. #people created content because they wanted to. because they wanted to make something silly to make people laugh. #not for profit. not for gain. not for numbers. not to further their career. #i miss the days of newgrounds and youtube before monetisation. #capitalism has soiled everything that's joyful and good in this world. #people should be able to share whatever they want. #people should be able to tell any story they want without the fear of being silenced by advertisers. #that's what made the internet so beautiful before. anyone could do anything and we all had equal footing. #but now we're victims of the algorithm. and it makes me sick. #i'm quitting my job in social media. i'm quitting it. it makes me too depressed. i have an existential crisis every freaking day. #every day i wake up and say "ah. this is the fucking hell we live in #i'm so sorry i feel so passionate about this. #social media is a black hole and it is actively destroying humanity. forget ai. social media is what's doing it. #i miss how beautiful the internet used to be. it should've been a tool for good. but it's corrupt and evil now. #sci speaks

modern wolfstar but sirius is a scam tarot reader at small town fairs (he got the cards from a thrift store for a few pounds, watched one video on how to read them and he decided it's his best shot at making some money to survive). cue the fair where he's working ends up in a small town from wales where, lo and behold, he keeps pulling the moon and the death card for everyone. a small child that can't be older than 5? they get the death card. an old lady who wanted to know how her tomatoes will do this summer? death.

now, sirius does know that the death card means new beginnings and it's not as bad as it seems but everyone just starts calling him names and his clientele lessens by the day because everyone finds out about his cards and how he's the bringer of death (literally no one died since he got there so he finds the new nickname a bit overkill).

he's too worried about his scamming abilities though. he just can't shake the weird feeling he gets when he pulls moon out again, even after he takes the damn card out of his pack because he's sick of seeing it (he leaves the death card in because he does find it funny)

but then, on the night before the full moon, when he's just getting ready to pack his cards and cheap props and call it a day, a farmer comes to get a reading. he's still in his overalls because he came straight from the farm here to check out the card reader who the villagers keep saying is predicting deaths on the full moon to see what the fuss is about.

sirius is smitten as soon as the farmer opens his mouth, but imagine his surprise when he hears that he's been slowly making people fear him again, after he just convinced them that he's a kind guy. and imagine his bigger surprise when the cute farmer with hay stuck in his hair and mud on his overalls tells him he's a werewolf.

#my man would be stressed because hello??? what do you mean a werewolf buddy im a SCAM!!!! #meanwhile remus is patiently waiting for him to calm down so that they can make a plan on how to clear this up #because believe it or not #its hard making business when people think you wanna kill their 5 yo child and their tomatoes on the full moon #he just wants to tend to his sheep #sell milk and make cheese hes not asking for too much #somewhere along the way sirius realises oh maybe im not such a scam after all whoops #because i did just predict meeting my soulmate through these thrifted cards hehe #and the old ladys tomatoes did die in the end but thats because the soil wasnt optimal for them and instead she started planting #*spins the wheel* pumpkins and my god they thrived #sirius black #remus lupin #wolfstar #marauders #wolfstar au #wolfstar fic #harry potter #marauder era

Dear Padfoot,

I put my roots in the soil at your feet; even when you were ripped away from me, in your soil I stayed. Hope you don't mind, I still feel your roots tangled with mine, so here I'll be, until you can come home to me.

Love,

Remus

Hi!! I love your wigglers, say hello to them from me <3 It's great to see them out and about while mine have stayed burrowed for like 2 weeks now lol. Could you post a picture of your tank in full? I'm always amazed by the huge amount of space they have!

You’re in luck it was time for a tank change so I was able to get a video with all 6 that live in my biggest tank out!

I’m still waiting on the moss to put down to keep the soil nice and moist(and also to make it pretty) and I might move the hides around some but this is more or less how I do their set ups.

#bug #bugs #insect #insects #millipede #millipedes #bug babbles #giants #I usually wait until I have everything I need but I lifted their water boil and there was at least 40 young woodlice under there #and I sort of blacked out and the tank was changed #I also changed up a few other tanks today since the soil was out #I’ll maybe post videos of those as well!

I have recently discovered this website that shows you the racial/ethnic makeup of your town in the USA.

You just enter your zip code and you can see your town and if you expand it you can few the entire US.

Blue is for majority white. Green is for majority black. Red is for majority asian. Yellow is for majority hispanic. And brown/purple is for multiracial/other.

Anyways I find it interesting how when you just view the US it's just white people and then 2 states near the border with a high Hispanic population but if you zoom in you can see a more accurate representation of the diversity that this country has.

I personally find all of this stuff interesting and it makes me curious as to why some populations are more higher in some places than others.

#hush ke #i do wanna know why the reservations are placed where they are #bc i know everyone got pushed west but why those states specifically? #anyways i know why the black belt exists bc of high soil fertility rates #and yknow slavery #edit: i added alaska and hawaii bc i forgot about them! #i did not know asian folks was rocking with hawaii like thay ngl

By the way saying a Black woman politely disagreeing with you is "raging" and "needs therapy" is incredibly racist. Nowhere did I call OP names or claim she need medical attention for her opinions. I politely disagreed, but that is "rage" apparently. This is a prime example of white women making themselves victims, and its why fans of color like me will never feel safe in fandoms no matter how "inclusive" y'all pretend to be and why we don't feel included in feminism so often. Your white victimhood ruins any solidarity we may ever have.

#i am owed an apology for being called a white supremacist #its so deeply disreespectful to me and my ancestors #to our blood that was spilled on this country's soil in the name of profit #update: she apparently deleted the post because i guess she realized it makes her look bad to call a black person a white supremacist #for *checks notes* disagreeing with you but she still hasn't apologized. which was the first thing she should've done #bookish rambles #fandom racism #racism #acotar #acotar fandom
