Nice maps and interactive tool. However it seems to me, this definition doesn’t sufficiently account for mountains, which have quite different ecosystems from their neighbouring plains. Also, will you recalculate this to show how these regions move over time, with climate change ?
Thanks for link (end with /intro to make it work). I’m contemplating such maps for the purpose of defining a ±1000 region set for an interactive integrated assessment type model running timescale ±1750-2250 - so it needs to span multiple dimensions - political, demographic, climatic, landuse/ecosystems, for multiple end-purposes - for example exploring climate -migration - socio feedbacks, including being able to represent both historical and future changes, (although not such long timescale as PAGES).
That’s an end goal of many organisations like PAGES, I believe. We’re still trying to figure out those bits. Trends are going that way. We have data, the problem is now, how do we link it all.
Plenty of beavers here by the river Meuse in Belgium (Namur-Dinant), they found their own way recently. They are fun, emerge mainly at night when few people are looking. But they do fell big trees on the riverbank - I read that lets them eat the bark in the winter.
Didn't read the whole article, but the whole thing reads as very anthropocentric to me. It seems that the entire discussion is around human/Native relationships to trees and whether we've grieved/learned our lesson enough. Which put humans entirely at the center of the narrative, when the narrative should primarily be around the tree's ecological relationships to all of nature. Hell, the article even mentions moth species that have gone extinct due to the downfall of the tree but fails to recognize that maybe humans shouldn't be the center or the universe in this narrative.
This seemed like a big win until I saw the graph. Holy shit either reporting changed alot, or there’s a long way to go before things are even remotely okay.
I clicked on it expecting just a simple “they’re genetic clones and they’re susceptible this same disease”, but this is quite a bit more depth about things. Thanks for sharing!
