Agricultural land near where rivers meet can mitigate floods, study suggests

Eco-DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) leverages farmland to mitigate floods by storing excess water, reducing damage. Analysis of 1917 Japanese municipalities (2010–2018) revealed farmland near river confluences significantly reduces flood risk. This eco-friendly approach supports food security, biodiversity, and disaster mitigation,…

Sustainable land management practice successfully ‘uproots’ invasive Prosopis juliflora in East Africa

A study reveals success in controlling the invasive Prosopis juliflora in Kenya and Tanzania using Sustainable Land Management (SLM). By uprooting the plant and using cleared land for crops, 75% of households adopted SLM. Adoption was higher among males and…

Maritime pine seeds remember temperature conditions

Young maritime pine trees retain a memory of early temperature conditions through epigenetic changes, researchers report. These marks, influencing gene expression but not DNA, persist for up to two years post-germination. This discovery highlights how trees could be conditioned early…
