Mousehold Heath: the green lungs of Norwich. Working on a Wildlife trail, I realise that we shouldn't overlook the healthy, wild air the Heath offers - its smells. pollen, spores and other bio-aerosols which subliminally make it a pleasure to visit, even in winter. 👃🍂 bioairnet.co.uk

If they wanted to, geologists could down tools tomorrow and bring the climate-rotting fossil fuel exploration / exploitation business to a halt. (If they wanted to.) Just saying ... #ClimateChange #Geology #Predicament 🌍⚒️

"Above all we need a far better public and political understanding of complex systems. Systems theory should be incorporated into secondary school science teaching, as a foundational tool for understanding the world around us and the means by which we can predict trouble...". Amen to that #education

"The ecology of molecules is an approach that examines the individual and sets of compounds in the nonliving organic matter pool and their interactions within and across ecosystems". Where to draw the boundary between the abiotic and biotic? #geodiversity #biodiversity #biosemiotics

Or: "Ecologists discover palaeontology (and historicity of biology) 200 years after Cuvier" nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Remember my words: this is just a tip of the iceberg of rebuilding of the ecological theory through its integration with palaeontology 🧪 #Macroecology

Very important study that should lead to legislative as well as behavioural change.

Crimpled gill fungus, Plicatura crispa, is busy digesting a dead rowan tree near Britannia Barracks, Norwich. Thanks Tony Leech @norfolknats.bsky.social for identifying it. It used to be uncommon, except in north Scotland, but now recorded over much of Britain in the past 25 years. How spread? 🌿🌏

@bsky.app Any chance of adding a 'save draft' facility so that if I want to finish a post later I don't have to lose it?

Is it 'Generation Zed' or 'Generation Zee'? Was 'Britishness' ever anything other than disguised English hegemony? Have transatlantic consumer culture & mass communication so hollowed out our attachments that the young are now terminally deracinated? substack.com/inbox/post/1... To discuss.

Sad fact: The U.S. is the largest known market for trade in painted bats, who are native to South and Southeast Asia. Their populations are declining, and their biggest threat is overcollection for decor. Join us in telling retailers: Stop selling painted bats ⬇️

It's a dreary time of year! Can't wait to see the first uncurling bracken fronds in May (and St Mark's fly). Here's an interesting review of the uses and cultural associations of bracken: 'The Palaeoethnobotany of Pteridium aquilinum' - historicengland.org.uk/content/docs...

I'm brewing words & images for a forthcoming Mousehold Heath Wildlife Trail leaflet (Norwich, UK). How many cities are lucky enough to have such an ecologically rich greenspace at their heart? So much to say, so little space to say it in... Biodiversity & landscape history stories are everywhere.
