Visited Killarney today and was struck how this part of Ireland used to be nearly all Oak woodland. It would be be great to see more native reforestation projects 🌳 in Ireland 🇮🇪 Maybe a place to expand @yishan?

Planting trees is great, but it's not enough to fight climate change. Carbon markets let farmers earn money by planting new trees and selling "carbon credits" to companies and governments looking to offset their emissions. For coffee farmers, this can be a lifeline when coffee

Biochar is ready to scale—but credits aren’t being issued fast enough. With most registries, suppliers face months-long waits to go from data collection to credit issuance. This means they don’t get paid fast enough to grow their businesses.

“The term “acidification” may indeed be used by scientists to describe any drop in pH level…” Yes, because you use the term acidity whenever referring to pH and alkalinity whenever referring to pOH. pH + pOH = 14. Thus less basic = more acidic.
Sit down. 🪑 Given that your formal educational background isn't in any scientific discipline, you might not be familiar with basic chemistry. 🧪 So, it's time for you to learn some. 📚 In our CHEM 111 course, you learn that just because a substance becomes less alkaline
