"...anticipate the #GreenRevolution, which took off in the 1970s.

#Farmers began to use new chemical #fertilizers such as #phosphorous and #ammonia (which is derived from #NaturalGas), and #agrochemicals such as #pesticides and #herbicides  [#oil derivatives]). In addition, they began to use new types of #farming equipment that mechanized #cultivation and harvesting.

But that’s not all. In the past, a #drought...

Try a different take on #phosphorous: Scientists around Jan von Arx and Jana Milucka from our Greenhouse Gases Research Group reveal how #bacteria re­lease #methane as a waste product of P capture in the tropical #NorthAtlantic.

"“Mycorrhizal fungi” — named for the combined Latin words for “fungus” and “root” — have provided plants with mineral nutrients like #phosphorous in exchange for plant-manufactured sugars.

Since those plants are making that sugar out of #CarbonDioxide from the air, that means that the fungi are in effect a growing subterranean “carbon bank.”

Field’s team found that fungi pulled down 36 percent of global #FossilFuel #emissions,."

#phosphorous in #food means we have to track that food and recover it from sewage. But also, since we're running out, it means only one thing, phosphorus is the limiting #element to life. Once all phosphorus is gone or out of reach, that's the maximum amount of people, plants, animals, and insects. Which means in turn that some of them listed things are gonna go so we can get new ones. I assume that the largest, most demanding population probably would go first.... plants. Then animals, then us.

A Giant Blob of Seaweed is Heading to Florida

The mass, known as the great Atlantic Sargassum belt, is drifting toward the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists say seaweed is likely to come ashore by summer to create a rotting, stinking, scourge.
