“Es cierto que aquí no somos catastrofistas, pero sí tenemos que afirmar lo siguiente con todas las letras: la Tierra nos sigue devolviendo con sargazos, sequías y ciclones las estocadas que propinamos sobre su lomo azul". Lea el texto de presentación del número en: https://t.co/6QUM8LgUUu

Two decades ago, researchers started an experiment that would challenge the prevailing scientific understanding of plant communities.
While modern agriculture treats diversity as inefficient, the Jena Experiment proved the opposite: complexity is the key to resilience.
«Una investigación urgente, profunda e interminablemente interesante sobre nuestro asombroso despilfarro y la crisis medioambiental que está creando delante de nuestras narices». @calflyn, autora de Islas del abandono, sobre Vertedero, de @olifranklin.
"The scale of recent global farmland abandonment is a staggering and still largely untold story... Globally, an area of land half the size of Australia, around a billion acres, has recently been relinquished"
From our archives: Vasts swaths of abandoned land are ripe for rewilding, experts say, with huge potential to boost wildlife and draw down carbon.
