Satellite record shows boreal forests expanded 12% and shifted north since 1985
The boreal forest—the world's largest terrestrial biome—is warming faster than any other forest type. To understand the changing dynamics of boreal forests, Min Feng and colleagues analyzed the biome from 1985 to 2020, leveraging the longest and highest-resolution satellite record of calibrated tree cover to date. The study, published in Biogeosciences with four co-authors from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, confirms a northward shift in boreal forest cover over the past four decades.

The HTML-First Approach: Why htmx and Lightweight Frameworks Are Revolutionizing Web Development
After years of Single Page Application dominance, more and more teams are rediscovering the power of the HTML-first approach. With htmx and other server-driven frameworks, we return to the simplicity of the original web without sacrificing modern interactivity. Let's explore why this paradigm is winning over developers and companies.

When I was walking down from the mountains recently I noticed the frost on the trees and branches -- and some single leafs that were still around.
I really liked this extra touch of color in the grey surrounding. And that it's just a little detail on the huge mountain.

Forests are changing fast and scientists are deeply concerned #environment

Forests are changing fast and scientists are deeply concerned
Forests around the world are quietly transforming, and not for the better. A massive global analysis of more than 31,000 tree species reveals that forests are becoming more uniform, increasingly dominated by fast-growing “sprinter” trees, while slow-growing, long-lived species are disappearing. These slower species act as the backbone of forest ecosystems, storing carbon, stabilizing environments, and supporting rich webs of life—especially in tropical regions where biodiversity is highes…
