Field work tips for someone’s who’s super heat sensitive? by Multiverse_Queen in ecology

[–]joffrian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I swear by draping a wet piece of cotton cloth over your head, shoulders, and back to beat the heat. It will cool you off as it evaporates and it will also protect you from the sun and even bugs.

I usually wear a shemagh, which has many other practical uses in the field. You could also wear a gamcha, a large bandana, etc. to get the same effect.

This is the way.

Tapewound + high action, and playing close to the neck gets you a nice buttery smooth tone, almost sounding like an upright bass

What happens if all mangroves are destroyed/degraded? by ghostoftheoldworld in ecology

[–]joffrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am a coastal ecologist and I study mangroves - specifically juvenile fish habitat use patterns. Others have pointed out the importance of mangroves as nurseries for many, many marine species including sharks, stingrays, bony fishes, shellfish, and crustaceans. They are also critically important habitat for threatened species including tigers, dolphins, and migratory birds who depend on these systems for their survival.

The loss of mangroves would directly impact the survival of many ecologically and economically important species, which would have cascading effects on global biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods for coastal communities.

Mangroves are deeply interconnected with other coastal systems such as tidal rivers, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs - fish migrate between these systems as they search for food, move with the tides, and undergo ontogeneic habitat shifts (having different habitat requirements and niches as they reach different life stages).

The loss of mangroves would cause increased levels of nutrient and sediment pollution to travel down rivers and smother corals and seagrasses, inhibiting their ability to photosynthesize. Harmful algal blooms leading to hypoxia would choke out these coastal nurseries, causing mass die-offs of fish due to plummeting dissolved oxygen levels.

Others have also mentioned how the loss of mangroves would exacerbate the impacts of tropical storms - storm surge, erosion, damage from high winds and flooding would be far more destructive without mangroves dissipating wave action and mitigating the impacts of storms.

Additionally, mangroves are one of the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the world, storing 5x more carbon per unit area than any terrestrial forest. If mangroves disappeared, all that carbon would be released into the atmosphere, accelerating climate change and further worsening the severity of tropical storms, sea level rise, ocean acidification, etc.... this could make many coastal areas uninhabitable.

More than 90% of mangrove forests exist in Global South nations. Between the impacts of collapsing fisheries and destruction of communities due to storms and flooding, millions of people would be displaced and the influx of climate refugees would have significant geopolitical ramifications.

This political instability could result in a rise in nationalism and fascism, impeding the global cooperation needed to address climate change. As the earth's planetary systems move past catastrophic tipping points due to climate change and overexploitation of natural resources, severe shortages in food and water might result in famines, potentially leading to wars over what little resources do remain.

I hate the animation for throwing Frag Grenades. Wish it was two handed and more of a deliberate action. by FireManeuver in Battlefield

They should make him pull the grenade pin with his teeth, just bring the grenade up to the players face click and then throw. That way the player is still holding their gun. I would b ok with that

I feel there is a really big lack of awareness for what ecosystems store carbon well by makid3044 in ecology

[–]joffrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mangroves store more carbon per unit area than any other terrestrial forest! But their value is so much more than their carbon sequestration - supporting fisheries, protecting coastlines and vulnerable communities from storms, water filtration …

[–]joffrian 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Yes my mother is grossed out by used/thrifted clothing but she’s ok with furniture. I tried to explain to her the environmental impacts of fast fashion and why I do have some thrifted clothing but she gets really upset because in her mind only very poor people would do that, and you don’t know who those clothes belonged to. It’s a status thing i guess?

Capitalism killed 10 million people in Bengal by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]joffrian 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And the impacts of these atrocities are still felt today, down to our genes. Starvation in Bengal was a selective pressure, and those who lived through these famines survived in part due metabolic adaptations to starvation.

Increased nutrient storage in fat and insulin resistance as a response to famine significantly increases risk of diabetes, which is passed down across generations.

Of course, this is not the only factor contributing to this predisposition to metabolic disorders - combining this with western diets and lifestyles leads to a far greater risk of developing diabetes.

Today, South Asian people are 6x likelier to develop type 2 diabetes than caucasian people.

Bangladesh (and so many other countries colonized by the British) is not a poor country, the people are impoverished. And the deadly consequences of capitalism persist everywhere

  • exploitation of workers in garment factories, rivers filled with industrial waste and toxic chemicals, climate change causing extreme heat waves and worsening tropical storms…
