Planting in the easement


I live in a very plant-friendly village. They recently did some work in the easement around my yard and put in new underground wires. They tore up all the grass and left quite a bit of mud. I’m now trying to figure out what I can quickly seed there that will take hold and grow without a lot of maintenance. It’s still pretty cold here.-im in southwestern Ohio-but ideally something that would stave off the grass, invasive weeds,etc.

Any ideas?

Australian scientists produce kangaroo embryos using IVF for first time

Team has produced more than 20 embryos using method used in humans, though there are no plans for live joeys

Scientists have produced kangaroo embryos through in vitro fertilisation for the first time, in a development they say could help conservation of endangered animals.

Australian researchers at the University of Queensland made the eastern grey kangaroo embryos using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a technique widely used in human IVF, in which a sperm is injected into a mature egg.

Carnivorous marsupials, cryptic birds and feral cats: wildlife cameras capture life on a Queensland cattle station

The monitoring program by Australian Wildlife Conservancy aims to show conservation and cattle grazing can coexist if properly managed

Frame by frame, the wildlife living on a Queensland cattle station are revealed. A long-eared bilby is caught mid-hop on a gibber plain, the name given to the densely packed rocks of the desert pavement. The eyes of an endangered kowari – a palm-sized carnivorous marsupial with a bottle-brush tail – glow an eerie white. A feral cat stalks past and a curious dingo eyeballs the trail camera, one of eight planted on a North Australian Pastoral Company (Napco) property in the channel country as part of a joint biodiversity project with Australian Wildlife Conservancy.

Napco, which manages a 6m hectare cattle estate across northern Australia, first invited AWC ecologists to undertake an ecological assessment on its western Queensland properties in 2020. The ecologists recorded 51 bird species, 10 reptile, seven mammal and six types of frog.

Forest landowner motivation to control invasive species depends on land use, study shows

Many U.S. forests are privately owned, particularly in the Eastern and North Central part of the country. This makes control of invasive plants and pests challenging because efforts must be coordinated across landowners. A new study explores how differences in ownership motivation affects willingness to control, and how economic incentives can be implemented most efficiently.

Why do plants transport energy so efficiently and quickly?

Photosynthesis — mainly carried out by plants — is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further. This happens practically loss-free and extremely quickly. A new study shows that quantum mechanical effects play a key role in this process.

“With a Smart Glass, an order picker has both hands free”

Order picking with a Smart Glass? To most fresh produce wholesalers it may still sound a bit futuristic, but as far as Hermen Mensink of Care4it is concerned, that will soon change. He was inspired by an example at a flower wholesaler and has now introduced it to fresh produce wholesalers. “The big advantage is that the order picker has both hands free and can thus move quick…
