Scientists have found trees growing in
previously-barren tundra while also dying off
due to rising temperatures in the south.
According to a series of studies, the composition
of forests is rapidly changing to become far
less resilient and more prone to diseases.
Scientists warn that further heating could cause
up to 50% of traditional boreal forests to die off,
while leaving many other trees stunted.
Boreal species do very poorly even
with modest warming.
They grow
more slowly and have greater mortality, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at
the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.
Given how fast climate change is,
we could get a 50 to 150-year period
where spruce and fir over thousands
of miles, including from Siberia
to Scandinavia, don’t regenerate, .., Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at
the University of Minnesota, via 'The Guardian'.

new system of invasive shrubs that
won’t provide us with the economic
and ecological services we are used to, Peter Reich, co-author and researcher at

the impact of the climate crisis
on the heart of the Amazon.
Scientists have warned that the delicate
ecosystem of the rainforest is in danger

A lawsuit filed by the mother of the late Russian opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, alleging inadequate medical care during his time in the Arctic penal colony where he passed away, has been dismissed. The court in the town of Labytnangi, near the penal colony, rejected the suit, citing Navalny's absence as the plaintiff. Ivan Zhdanov, a former aide to Navalny, expressed dismay over the decision, highlighting Navalny's history of filing lawsuits regarding medical care in prisons. The dismissal, Zhdanov noted, comes with a tone of mockery, given Navalny's tragic demise.

How Fermented, Pickles , Can Improve Your Health.
'Time' recently offered readers
a guide to fermented pickles and how
to get the most out of this "super food.".
Fermentation, After sitting in brine for several weeks,
healthy bacteria acts on sugars inside
vegetables, converting them to lactic acid.
These live microbes also affect the gut
in a number of ways that improve health.
In general, fermented vegetables have been
linked to significantly improved glucose
metabolism and a more robust immune system.
Fermented veggies have also been linked to a lower
risk of Type 2 diabetes, decreased triglyceride levels
and higher HDL cholesterol in people who ate them.
Other studies have linked fermented vegetables to
reduced psychological stress, which supports the theory
that the gut and the brain exchange crucial information.
We know the microbes, organic
acids and other metabolites
in fermented foods influence
communication between the gut
and brain in a positive way. , Andres Gomez, microbial ecologist at
the University of Minnesota, via 'Time'.
'Time' reminds readers that
many vegetables can be pickled,
including cabbage, carrots and peppers. .
However, experts note that pickles also contain a high
amount of sodium, associated with a number of adverse
health outcomes, so it becomes important not to overdo it. .
It’s okay to eat pickles daily if you’re
balancing out their sodium content
with fresh, low-sodium produce
like fruit and leafy greens, Frances Largeman-Roth, registered dietary nutritionist
and author of 'Everyday Snack Tray,' via 'Time'
