Scientists Promote Benefits of Black Magic Soil | LiveScience:
Scientists say terra preta can do much more than a box of Miracle-Gro. The process of making it pulls carbon out of the atmosphere, and can reduce global warming.
“The knowledge we can gain from studying the Amazonian dark earths, found throughout the Amazon River region, not only teaches us how to restore degraded soils, triple crop yields and support a wide array of crops in regions with agriculturally poor soils, but also can lead to technologies to sequester carbon in soil and prevent critical changes in world climate,” said Johannes Lehmann, a biogeochemist at Cornell University.
Dream: Chickenness
Urgh!
I dreamt that I was in a huge amusement park and there were chickenness experts coming and all of a sudden everyone there was on a conveyor belt that was like a ride but actually turned them into chicken bits a’la McDonald’s. I tried to get off the belt but I was in the expert holding area waiting to be turned into chili beefy chicken sandwiches and could not escape except for jumping over an overpass into a big river of ice floe.
Then I woke up and the illusions returned.
