How Absentee Landowners Keep Farmers From Protecting Water And Soil

Prairie strips in fields of corn or soybeans can protect the soil and allow wildlife to flourish. This strip was established in a field near Traer, Iowa, in 2015. Omar de Kok-Mercado, Iowa State University Lisa Schulte Moore loves nature. To stand in an old-growth forest, she says, "I can only describe it as healing." When she moved to Iowa to teach ecology at Iowa State University, she didn't get that same feeling when she found herself amid acres of corn. She wasn't hearing birds or seeing many bugs. "All I can hear are the leaves of the rustling corn," she says. "Not one biological noise. You know, they call it the green desert." This is, in fact, the central environmental problem with agriculture. This year, corn and soybeans cover an area of the United States equal in size to all the East Coast states from New York to Georgia. It has displaced wildlife and left the soil more vulnerable to water and wind erosion. But Schulte Moore says that it doesn't have to be a green desert. She

Вокалист SOILWORK о новом материале

Björn "Speed" Strid в недавнем интервью ответил на вопрос, насколько новый сингл "Spirit Of No Return", вышедший в прошлом месяце, отражает будущую пластинку:

«Ну, трудно сказать. Я к тому, что в этот раз мы решили подойти к делу довольно осторожно, потому что мы через многое прошли, как вы, я уверен, знаете. К нам официально присоединился Simon, он отличный парень и фантастический гитарист. Он играет с нами вживую уже довольно долгое время, но он внес свой вклад в создание нашей новой песни, и в ней есть немного больше трэша, больше корней SOILWORK, но в то же время она сочетается с более современными элементами, которыми мы славимся. Сложно сказать, куда именно мы двинемся, но я бы сказал, что звучание будет чуть более металлическим, что бы это ни значило, но я также ощущаю, что мы открыли для себя столько удивительных вещей, когда записывали [EP 2020 года] «A Whisp Of The Atlantic», с «Verkligheten» [2019] и с «Övergivenheten» [2022], и эти элементы мы хотим взять с собой. Но я также думаю, что, возможно, есть и старые идеи, которые мы хотим пересмотреть и снова вернуть. И я уверен, что в новом сингле больше металлических ноток, но мы продолжаем развиваться, а я никогда не хочу скатываться к каким-то клише или пытаться повторить что-то. Так что мне, как и вам, интересно, куда мы двинемся. Но я полагаю, что эта песня может дать вам небольшой намек на то, в каком направлении мы движемся. Мы всегда стараемся экспериментировать. Но пока рано говорить о том, будет ли в ближайшее время полноценный альбом. Мы подходим к делу не спеша. Мы уже близки к тому, чтобы начать сочинять новые песни. И, возможно, это произойдет во время текущего тура. У меня тут есть гитары. Так что кто знает, что произойдет?!»

Simple uses of jute mesh to tame soil erosion

Soil erosion is an age-long predicament that always shows up whenever humans embark on any land use activity. Whether it is agriculture, construction or gardening, the need to tame erosion is apparent, especially in regions that experience significant precipitation. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warns that 90% of the world’s topsoil risks erosion by 2050. It is, therefore, the responsibility of those who participate in land use activities to prevent such a mess. [...]
