Mining activity is contagious. The holes that open up in search of ore and the accumulation of lands and rocks extracted from them, as well as the techniques of cleaning and purification of the mineral itself, produce extraordinary pollution. Of all kinds (aquatic, aerial, landscape...) and of direct influence in both plants and animals.
In the territories that have undergone the mining work of these animals for many years, finding a cumulative chemical residue is not a hindrance. One or two ... I didn't miss it.
The symbol “I” in chemistry is nickel. It is said that it is nickel which, together with iron, is the heart of our planet. It's used a lot, especially to make stainless steel. The Asian continent is the richest in nickel and the pollution of its exploitation is also the most abundant, especially in the islands of the south-east.
One of these islands is the Taman Negara Kinabalu Natural Park (in Borneo, part of Malaysia). There is Mount Lompoyou. On his hillside lives the strange shrub Phyllanthus rufuschaneyi. Weird because of its rarity and because of its work: it's a miner. It wants special, ultra-basic or very basic soils, totally antacids. They tend to exploit and stack nickel massively from the ground. We don't know any other plants that do this kind of work. Nickel can be higher than 12% of the plant weight. There is nothing more capable of living like this. It's terrible!
It's incredibly rare, it lives just a few, and it's making a huge effort to maintain its genetics and be in the future. They all hope for a great economic future. Some see it as a miner nickel, they call it phytometing or agro-membraning: because of that ability to stack nickel, they plant on grounds contaminated with this metal, they sweat the plant and they get nickel citrate. Get clean nickel and clean contaminated soils. Both uses, mining and pollution purifier, represent a promising future for a ground floor. Because the one who has a plant and uses it will have a coconut full of coins.
We also have nickel in coins; the euro’s central disk, for example, is nickel. For you to know, nickel, if it's anything, is totally toxic and carcinogenic. Beware of the euro!
Basotik fundazioa aurkeztu du duela gutxi Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundiak, lurralde horretako baso pribatuen kudeaketa “aurreratua” egiteko asmoarekin. Baina Gipuzkoako lurrak industria-forestalistaren kolonia edo fabrika handi bihurtu nahi badira, horrek izen bat dauka:... [+]
We are eating at home the last apples we have received since last year, the Malus domestica. The ones that are in shape are cauliflower, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis. The ash, the Fraxinus excelsior, is there, still, safe, waiting longer days to blossom.
In front of our door... [+]
Larunbatean, martxoak 23, Basoen Munduko Eguna dela eta, aldarrikapen giroan ospatzeko kanpaina antolatu dute Galizian: bertako mendi eta ibarretan monolabore bilakatua diren eta azken aldian sekulako suteak eragin dituzten eukaliptoak erauziko dituzte egun eta ordu berean, baso... [+]
The time when lambs are born is usually a little later, but here and there I have already seen one or the other. When Axuria is born, the mother sheep washes her shoulder licking her body; she is said to love her. The offspring come of all kinds, the mothers are of all kinds,... [+]
On the hill that dominates our house, the farmhouse Aitzondo has ample forests. In the trees a plantation stands out, especially now in autumn. When a tortuous storm is reached by the sea and the hill descends, the ends of these cutting trees appear among the rubble. The tulip... [+]
The fungi that have attacked the insignis pine have turned the forestry of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa upside down. Total forestry, which has changed without major ups and downs in almost a century, has been called into question by some worm mushrooms. More than Xixtrin, we will have... [+]
Dagoeneko badakigu Kalifornian jatorria duen Pinus radiata landaketa intentsiboek kolapsoa eragin dutela Bizkaiko paisaian. Aurreikuspenen arabera, bost urteren buruan pinu landaketa ia guztiak (70.000 ha baino gehiago Bizkaian) pinuen osasuna erabat kaltetzen duten honako hiru... [+]
In the participatory budgets of 2017 a citizen proposed to create an edible forest in the natural area next to the canal of Sarriguren (Navarra). At that time it was not the most voted project and the proposal was therefore rejected. However, the idea of creating an edible... [+]
