Fires in Kenya last year destroyed 11,370 hectares of bush and forest land. Thirty-five percent of the already heavily deforested Mau Forest Complex was lost to fire, according to Noor Hassan Noor, an administrator in Kenyas Rift valley province.
Or, if introduction of a new GM corn variety designed to be resistant to herbicide-resistant weeds can be stopped,
each targeting weeds that are resistant to the other, and the corn being resistant to both.
Ohio State s six-wheel, thirty-thousand-pound Terramax was brought up short by some bushes;
In the wrong light, they couldn t tell a bush from a boulder, a shadow from a solid object.

It is harvested from the leaves of the sweet wormwood plant, but the supply of the plant had fluctuated sometimes in the past, causing shortages.

called gari in West Africa, that is convenient to cook and bake with and wildly popular.
The case of cotton in Burkina faso highlights biotechnology s potential. Breaking ranks with other governments in the region, Burkina approved genetically modified cotton several years ago,
and by 2011 about half of the cotton grown in this West african country was bioengineered. Yields went up,
spending on pesticides and fertilizer went down, and total income roughly doubled. Even if cotton remains the only GM crop in Africa,
the benefit to farmers could still be huge. Most African cotton farmers grow other crops,
sometimes planting them between rows of cotton. So if they can spend less to grow more and better cotton
these other crops should benefit, too. 7. Government support for food producers is getting better Everyone agrees that African farmers remain heavily inhibited by poor governance.
Farm extension services are notoriously inefficient. Irrigation schemes are practically nonexistent. Transport links are terrible; where proper roads do exist,
the technology has bestowed most of its benefits on agribusiness#almost always through crops modified to withstand weed-killing chemicals
This meant that farmers could kill off the majority of weeds with one herbicide rather than several,
including Monsanto s Bt cotton: a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.
At Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, UK, for example, scientists are working on GM plants that will need even less pesticide than Bt cotton,
Unlike Bt cotton and other existing GM organisms, such a crop would need no insect-killing chemical for protection from pests.

However, Bush's work-around was deemed later illegal in federal court. Polar-bear protection: The US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed on 22 october to designate around 500,000 square kilometres of critical habitat 96%of which is sea ice for the polar bear.
and has indicated also that it will not broaden its definition of noxious weeds, a class of plants that falls under its regulatory purview,

and bushes to absorb them. And that's the unusual thing. Those plants died weak and thirsty during an epic drought last summer--the hottest year on record.
Working with cotton--a well-defined cellulosic material--as their model system the researchers applied PALM imaging in combination with a mathematical analysis they devised.
It was authored co by civil engineering postdoctoral researchers Jeryang Park and Heather Gall and by Rao and Dev Niyogi Indiana state climatologist and an associate professor in the Purdue Department of Agronomy and the Department of Earth
Boal said prairie chickens for example are not very likely to use cotton fields to nest in or for lekking (places where males aggregate to try to attract females to mate with).
Technical Meeting Tulsa OK March 17-18 2014) Because the fuel for wildland fires is mostly in the undergrowth three species of shrub

) In a computer model we are using very small volumes of space on the order of one cubic millimeter on one end to a cubic meter on the other end he says.
Currently under study is the effect of shrubs as undergrowth in wildland fires and how proximity and wind can influence their combustion characteristics.
We light the shrub then figure out how much time it takes to burn out Dr. Mahalingam says.

-22 2013) The UAH scientists are looking at how the interaction of fires in shrubs near each other can create energy hot spots in a conflagration.
Shrubs burned in controlled settings are being compared to computer modeled shrub fires to assess predictive qualities.
As you bring the shrubs closer together is the fuel being consumed faster and the energy created faster as a result?
We are interested in how the fire spreads from shrub to shrub what the interaction is and at what spacing and
It turns out that for cases with no wind you really have to get the shrubs close together for one to affect the other.

Roses blooming in December? Thanks to technology that the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Richard Vierstra has been developing for years these things may soon be possible.
Nesting on lowland heath such as parts of Sherwood forest and Thames Basin Heath it can be affected by development such as housing
and as part of the planning process developers must now provide data on presence and abundance of this species and provide mitigation plans to prevent their disturbance before planning applications will be considered.
It is a concept for producing edible plants during long-term missions to destinations such as Mars. Heather Hava who is working on a doctorate in aerospace engineering sciences explains that the goal is to have robots do much of the monotonous tasks saving time
What's kind of reactions do you get from people regarding the idea of allowing customers to wheel around their weed supply?
We actually only water new shrubs or plants that haven't established and stop short of sprinkling the lawn except on very rare occasions.
but we make all of our paper products essentially out of cotton fiber. We're really not tied in with the tree side of paper-making;
genetically modified products including cotton and tobacco plants were produced. The success of the first tested genetically engineered cotton in 1990 led biotech company Monsanto to introduce herbicide-immune soybeans aka, oeround-Up Ready in 1995,
and the 2000 discovery that modification can enrich foods using nutrients and vitamins has made biotechnology a global giant in the world of food production
which has heretofore been obtained from leaves of wormwood grown by African and Asian farmers. Re-engineered yeast can now do the job in vats,
The Guardian goes on to say that similar stories will soon be told for vanilla farmers, patchouli farmers, rubber producers, coconut farmers and saffron growers.
