Kleiman compared mango trees at a local farm in Homestead, Florida. One plot of trees had weeds growing around them. The other plot was maintained and weed-free.
The pollinators preferred the trees with the weeds. In turn, the trees benefitted and produced more mangos. In fact, there were between 100 to 236 mangos on the trees with weeds, compared to between 38 to 48 on the trees without weeds.
Kleiman points out findings apply to mango trees, but also to all of the roughly 80 percent of flowering plants of Earth, including fruit trees and all flowering vegetable plants like tomatoes, beans, eggplants and squash. She also hopes this information can help farmers save time and money, as well as reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
I guess it improves the draw for bees and pollinators because there's more there?
I wonder if this would have a similar effect if instead of simply weeds, it was other plants in general, especially those that flowered?
Regardless, this is pretty damn interesting.
Oh yeah. For example in Japan it is traditional to keep a little patch of forest in lands that were cleared of it. They are called Guardian Forests and serve a bit of a spiritualist purpose, said to be where the local god manifests:
Studies on them have shown that maintaining this patch of local nature increases crop yields in nearby fields. They increase biodiversity, which help pollinators, but also do things you don’t expect immediately - For example, the birds that roost in them help eat rats and mice that may eat crops. By maintaining this natural space, we get helped in many ways, not all obvious
Simply put, biodiversity attracts more biodiversity, and helps nature overall - Including the nature we like to eat. That could be local weeds, or old forests, or whatever else, but it seems as though the central point is that you want some parts of the environment to remain a little natural and wild so they may support that which naturally occurs in the region
okay okay so like i don’t wanna kill the party but i just saw an instagram shop selling a shirt that says now i am become death the destroyer of worlds in barbie font and i just sigh i just like i get the novelty of barbie and oppenheimer weekend but i have got to stress the bomb changed the entire world forever and wiped out over a quarter of a million people i think maybe we gotta kinda take a step back here when we start selling it as if it’s fun hot girl summer fodder
before you start babygirling oppenheimer just know that from what i’ve heard the film does not address downwinders, does not have a singular japanese person in it, and exploited our museums by claiming photos on loan for personal use (meaning they did not have to pay a penny to use them in the film despite being a multi-million dollar production).
I still can’t get over the name Goldenloin
Like, he’s your main character’s lover and he’s named Sir Greatinbed? Sir Fucksalot?? Sir Sexhaver??? He’s the main gay love interest and his name’s Sir Longshlong??? 10/10 no notes oscar nomination in the mail
Hollywood executives will nuke entire shows from existence, then wonder why the people they treated like shit are no longer willing to work for them.
Oh, and they already owned the rights to these shows and movies. It was costing WB and Disney nothing to keep shows like Final Space and Willow on HBO MAX and Disney Plus.
