Ab wann das Baumwachstum erstickt – klimareporter°

Juli 2020 Pflanzen brauchen Stickstoff. Doch durch die Landwirtschaft gelangt viel zu viel von diesem Dünger in die Wälder. Ab einer bestimmten Menge wachsen Bäume durch Stickstoff nicht mehr, sondern kränkeln. Von Sandra Kirchner Stickstoff ist unentbehrlich für das Wachstum von Pflanzen. Geoff Lawton.

Permakultur Akademie

Als Anfang der 80er-Jahre der Ansatz der Permakultur auch in Europa und Amerika Anklang fand, entstanden an vielen Orten nach australischem Vorbild „Institute" zur Vertiefung und Verbreitung der Ideen. Margrit und Declan Kennedy gaben damals mit viel Herzblut Anstoß für die Permakultur-Bewegung im deutschsprachigen Raum und gründeten 1984 den Verein „Permakultur Institut".

Intro to Permaculture - Free OSU Permaculture Course

This free permaculture course uses design principles from nature itself and takes into account such things as how indigenous people used the land; how water, fire and wind flow through the land; and how soil, water, vegetation, buildings and habitats can be managed in a stable and enduring way. A multidisciplinary approach Permaculture design is an ethically based, whole-systems design approach to create sustainable human settlements and institutions. Although rooted in horticulture and agriculture, permaculture design also touches on regional planning, ecology, animal husbandry, technology, architecture and international development.

How to Start a Small Permaculture Tree Nursery

Doherty, a subject I’d like to address today. To even start a farm forestry operation, or even a permaculture orchard, you’ll need to source a huge number of trees from somewhere. I crunched a few numbers and browsed the relevant websites: it seems that small bare-root trees will cost, on average, $20 or more, an amount that will soon add up. I realised that, even excluding overseeding and site preparation, I would need to pay around $20k/acre for my permaculture orchard. It wasn’t until recent visit to my mentor, an experienced plant propagator, that I came upon a way to grow $1000+ worth of trees for less than $100. How to Make a Temperate Forest Garden : Part 1.

"Habitat" Episode 3 - Corn/Fruit Tree Agroforestry (INIFAP/local farmers) How To Decolonize The Permaculture Movement. About a year ago, I posted an article in the Huffington Post detailing some of the reasons why I thought permaculture had become a “gringo” movement irrelevant to the majority of small farmers around the world.

How To Decolonize The Permaculture Movement

There were a number of reactions, both positive and negative, but I was frustrated that very few people actually offered some sort of solution or proposal for how to “un-gringo” a movement and ideology that we find hope in. After a good deal of reflection, I want to focus now on how to rescue the permaculture movement; how to save it from some of its most disturbing and troubling tendencies. Allan Savory: How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change.

Allan Savory’s TED talk is wrong, and the benefits of holistic grazing have been debunked. Photo by Vyacheslav Oseledko/AFP/Getty Images When Allan Savory finished his TED talk early last month, foodies worldwide collectively salivated.

Allan Savory’s TED talk is wrong, and the benefits of holistic grazing have been debunked.

In roughly 22 minutes, Savory, a biologist and former member of the Rhodesian Parliament, challenged the conventional wisdom blaming livestock for the degradation of global grasslands into hardpan deserts. It has long been a basic tenet of environmentalism that 10,000 years of overgrazing has caused this desertification. Environmentalists insist that to restore degraded landscapes, we must reduce the presence of cattle, eat less meat, and allow ecosystems to repair themselves. Savory, who admits that he’s suggesting “the unthinkable,” wants humans to do the exact opposite: Add cattle to the deserts, manage them with obsessive precision, and eat more meat.

The restoration process of ... more abstractThe Loess Plateau has proven to be an excellent place to pursue a type of ecological forensics to witness and understand how human actions over time can destroy natural ecological function. The restoration process of the plateau is providing a living laboratory in which the potential of returning ecological function to long degraded landscapes can be studied.

Essentially, what has been witnessed and documented on the Loess Plateau is that it is possible to rehabilitate large-scale damaged ecosystems. This realization has potentially enormous implications for human civilization.

How a $2 Pocket Knife is ReGreening Africa.

How can barren fields, degraded forests and grazing lands be reforested without planting a single tree? Is it possible? Well yes, according to Tony Rinaudo and his work with World Vision in regenerating over 30,000 acres in West Africa all with the aid of just a simple pocket knife and a clever idea. In the Niger it is estimated 60 million trees were planted from nurseries over 20 year period with less than a 25% survival rate. Tony Rinaudo wondered what to do to help give trees a chance of surviving in this desolate location. “I felt very discouraged. Tamera Healing Biotope 1 - Global Ecology Institute. The Global Ecology Institute, led by Bernd Walter Müller, was founded in 2013 to put the practical work of Tamera´s ecology department into a global context.

The institute works on practical ecological responses to current ecological issues with a particular focus on developing model solutions. Another key aspect of the institute's work is the integration of insights into the being and the natural movement of water (Victor Schauberger) into the global healing concept of water retention landscapes. The institute organises seminars, professional training programmes, symposia and conferences for global ecological help, such as the water symposium in Tamera.

(Water Symposium report 2012). (Water Symposium report 2013) (Water Symposium report 2016). On request the institute also provides consultation on building water retention landscapes to cooperation partners and others who are interested around the world.

Practical Permaculture Skills

Hands-on Permaculture ! Kräuterspirale selbst bauen. Perennial Vegetables to Plant Once and Enjoy For Years To Come!!! Perennial vegetables—crops that you plant just once and harvest year after year—are relatively rare in North American gardens. With the exception of asparagus, rhubarb and artichokes, most gardeners are probably unaware of the tasty, extremely low-maintenance bounty that can be harvested when many annual crops aren’t available. A Brief History of Perennial Crops According to Perennial Vegetables by Eric Toensmeier, most North American gardening and farming traditions come from Europe, where there are very few perennial crops except fruits and nuts. Cold and temperate Eurasian agriculture centered around livestock, annual grains and legumes, and early European settlers to North America simply brought their seeds and their cultivation methods with them, including draft animals for plowing up the soil every year. However, in more temperate and tropical areas of the world, including much of North America, perennial root, starch and fruit crops were actively bred, selected and cultivated.

Wasser ist Leben. Doch weltweite Abholzung, falsche Beweidung, Monokultur - Landwirtschaft, Flächenversiegelung stören den ursprünglich "großen Wasserkreislauf" (Schauberger). Sie hindern das Wasser daran, vom Erdkörper aufgenommen zu werden.

Große Mengen von Wasser fließen zu schnell ab, führen zu Erosion, Überschwemmungen und Trockenheiten. Das geschieht global, auf allen Erdteilen. Hierin liegt ein wichtiger Mitgrund für Wüstenbildung und Klimawandel.

Study finds fungi, not plant matter, responsible for most carbon sequestration in northern forests. (Phys.org) —A new study undertaken by a diverse group of scientists in Sweden has found that contrary to popular belief, most of the carbon that is sequestered in northern boreal forests comes about due to fungi that live on and in tree roots, rather than via dead needles, moss and leaf matter.

In their paper published in the journal Science, the team describes their findings after taking soil samples from 30 islands in two lakes in northern Sweden. Scientists have known for quite some time that northern forests sequester a lot of carbon—they pull in carbon dioxide after all, and "breath" out oxygen. But what the trees actually do with the carbon has been a matter of debate—most have suggested that it's likely carried to needles and leaves then eventually drops to the forest floor where over time decomposition causes it to leech into the soil.
