HOLANDUCÍA Puerto Banus / The ecosystem consists of a lifechain ranging from wild flowers and mature trees that house and feed the seasons insects who in turn feed the birds, rodents and reptiles (who in turn feed the birds of pray).
80 % of the migrant birds of Northern Europe stop yearly in Andalucia on their way to or from Africa, the most famous resting, breeding and nesting reserve being the Doñana Park in Cadiz. Destroying ths ecosystem (planned by local authorities) would eliminate the natural predators of species we might consider a nuisance and could as a consequence modify the type and quantity of insects or rodents we live with here. As an example, eliminating the frogs who breed in the riverbanks and who feed on mosquitoes and flies would alter the natural balance of the insect colonies. Clearing fields of wild flowers would reduce the amount of caterpillars, butterflies and otherinstects on which the bird colonies are dependent for nesting and feeding. Cutting down trees ( some of considerable age) would destroy the habitat areas of all the mentioned species.
Covering such important surface with cement would alter and rise the local temperatures, since the humidity generated by its present plants cools the hot temperatures by night. This is one of the principles of global warming, but on local scale. This is one of the last such ecosystem in the area. This photo set is to show what we would lose if the area is destroyed by these impending building plans and projects. Proyecto La Herencia aims to raise awareness about the need for protection of this land with its ecosystem and create a debate about how best to do so. Please google the Proyecto La Herencia de Banus / Save Holanducia facebook-group and join our group for support . Thank you so much.
Great job everyone! Thank you to our supporters: Team Rubicon and Wounded Warrior Project, and Mission BBQ for providing a delicious lunch.

The coolest season has set in.Nights bitingly cold...gusty, howling wind blowing from the Himalayas in the north.

Atmospheric deposition currently accounts for roughly 12% of the reactive nitrogen entering terrestrial and coastal marine ecosystems globally, although in some regions, atmospheric deposition accounts for a higher percentage (about 33% in the United States).

it was a tree hole and i could see a lot of coming and going,..known to have mutualistic relationship called myrmecophytism with plants.
"1. This is a section of mouse hippocampus that has been stained with fluorescent antibodies (immunohistochemsitry) to highlight two types of cells: Neurons (blue) and Astrocytes (green). In addition, the bright pink stain highlights other types of cell nuclei.
2. Neurons once took center stage in the study of learning and memory. However as depicted in this photo, the brain contains a rich ecosystem of different cell types that work together for the brain to properly function. The fluorescent green astrocytes (greek for ""star cell"") are one of the most numerous types of cells in the brain. They are dynamically involved in synaptic transmission, metabolic and ionic homeostasis, inflammatory response, antioxidant defense, trophic support of neurons, as well as in the establishment and maintenance of the blood–brain barrier.
3. Imaging methods like this help to determine if drug treatments targeting one type of cell have detrimental affects on the other members of the brain's ecosystem."

The neighborhood of El Juvenil, of the Celia Sanchez Manduley community in Manzanillo, is a settlement located on the first coastline of the Gulf of Guacanayabo.
The site is vulnerable to the impacts of sea level rise and flooding from heavy rains. The main activity of the villagers is fishing.
At the entrance of one of the roads that crosses the deteriorated dunes to reach the sea, lives one of the fishermen and his wife, Omar Hidalgo and Lidia Fonseca, married for over 50 years.
Omar can no longer fish due to health difficulties. His boat, like him, hasn't been spared from tidal and weather wear.
Now, he and Lidia are dedicated to growing vegetables on the small bit of land that he owns. Their dilapidated house is located right at the sea front.
This type of unstable construction is common in El Juvenil.
The settlement is planned for relocation due to the precariousness presented by the population.
The villagers, for the most part, are opposed to moving and are calling for other solutions. It's not easy to leave a life behind to start from scratch; they would feel like a fish out of water.
Among them are Omar and Lidia, who moved to El Juvenil from the nearby village more than 15 years ago so that their son, who was in a wheelchair, could be closer to the sea.
Now the memory of what their child enjoyed the most is what feeds their soul and they don't want to let it go.

By far my favourite combination: an Ecosystem notebook + a black leather VadeMecum Pocket Cover.
The ecosystem notebook is exactly the same as the Moleskine. The cover fits like a glove.
Kol -e- Hashmat Khan Wetland is situated at the southeastern outskirt of Kabul province. The unique lake is covered by reeds and is home to a large number of biodiversity.

You can read more about this particular ecosystem here. For the inpatient, the paramo is an ecosystem located between the 3800 and 5000 mts from sea level, it's climate is cold and humid as they serve as a natural storage of water from glaciers. They can be found in large extensions on the North West part of South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). This particular one is on the road from Quito to Papallacta.
