Design tool for agroforestry systems


Hi everyone,

For the last couple of years I have been building a tool for the designing and maintanance of agroforestry systems. For example it can be used to draw your project on a map, so you can easily follow or share what you grow. After good feedback by a couple of users I feel ready to release it here. Please let me know what you think of it, you found some bugs or if it is missing anything.

Extreme weather is wiping out amphibians—Here’s where it’s worst

Frogs, salamanders, and other amphibians are not just battling habitat loss and pollution they’re now also contending with increasingly brutal heat waves and droughts. A sweeping 40-year study shows a direct link between the rise in extreme weather events and the growing number of species landing on the endangered list. Europe, the Amazon, and Madagascar have become danger zones, with amphibians unable to adapt quickly enough. But there s hope scientists are calling for focused conservation efforts like habitat restoration and micro-refuges to help these vulnerable creatures survive.

Scientists find immune molecule that supercharges plant growth

Scientists have discovered that a molecule known for defending animal immune systems called itaconate also plays a powerful role in plants. Researchers showed that itaconate not only exists in plant cells but actively stimulates growth, such as making corn seedlings grow taller. This surprising crossover between plant and animal biology may unlock new, natural ways to boost agriculture and even improve human health.
