Revolutionising Himalayan Agriculture: The Magic of Nepalese-Alder Forests
Imagine a world where forests aren't just pretty backdrops, but vital life-giving forces. A recent study from Jawaharlal Nehru University has revealed a fascinating secret: the type of forest can significantly impact the health of nearby farmland. Researchers found that broadleaf forests, with their wider leaves, are more beneficial to soil health than coniferous forests. These forests promote the growth of beneficial microbes, increase organic matter content, and release essential nutrients, leading to healthier and more productive farms.

The research, led by Shankar and Garkoti (2024), published in journal Science of The Total Environment, highlights the pivotal role of Nepalese-alder (Alnus nepalensis) forests in enhancing soil quality and nutrient availability. This remarkable improvement is largely attributed to the alder’s nitrogen-fixing capabilities and higher microbial biomass, which contribute to better soil structure, increased organic matter, and enhanced microbial activity. These findings underscore the critical role of forest vegetation in maintaining soil health and productivity in agroecosystems, highlighting the need for strategic forest management practices.

The findings indicate that integrating alder forests into agricultural practices could be a sustainable strategy to maintain long-term soil health and productivity in the region. So, how can we harness this forest power? The answer lies in integrating trees into our agricultural practices. Agroforestry, alley cropping, contour planting, and intercropping are just a few techniques that can bring forests and farms together in a harmonious partnership. Here are some practical steps for farmers:
But the benefits don't stop there. Restoring degraded lands with oak and alder trees can revitalize entire ecosystems. These trees provide habitat for countless species, help prevent soil erosion, and even play a role in combating climate change. Oak forests, known for their rich biodiversity, can help restore native plant and animal species, creating a more balanced and resilient ecosystem. Alder trees, with their ability to improve soil quality, can play a crucial role in stabilising soil, preventing erosion, and enhancing water retention. Additionally, these trees can contribute to carbon sequestration, mitigating climate change by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. By incorporating these species into restoration efforts, project initiators can create more sustainable and resilient landscapes. For policymakers, the message is clear: investing in forest conservation and restoration is not just about protecting nature; it's about ensuring a sustainable future for our communities and our planet. By promoting the conservation and restoration of nitrogen-fixing forests like Nepalese-alder, they can enhance soil fertility, boost agricultural productivity, and support long-term ecological balance in the region. This approach aligns with broader environmental goals, including biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, policymakers can develop educational programmes to raise awareness among farmers and local communities about the benefits of sustainable land use practices. Implementing incentive programmes for farmers and landowners who adopt sustainable practices can encourage wider adoption. By promoting nitrogen-fixing forests and supporting sustainable land use practices, we can create a healthier, more prosperous India.
By leveraging these findings, policymakers can develop and implement strategies that promote sustainable land use practices, enhance agricultural productivity, and support ecological restoration. The focus on planting oak and alder trees in restoration projects can lead to more resilient and sustainable landscapes in the Indian Himalayan Region. This integrated approach aligns with the goals of biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future for the region. So, let's embrace the power of trees and unlock the hidden potential of our forests. Together, we can create a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

“the clave would declare you unfit you unfit for duty, you’d be deruned” ... so if a shadowhunter struggles with severe mental health issues that the silent brothers can’t??? somehow cure?? they get not only declared unfit for duty but deruned? a painful process that? is otherwise used as a punishment for severe crimes?? and that leaves them defenseless against demons that will track and find and kill them because they still have angel blood?? (also as far as i am aware shadowhunters who are deruned are typically not allowed back in institutes so they also get kicked out of their homes!)

open starter for @havsofpleasvre​​
Ezra felt the comforting caress of the dawn air on his cheeks, and heard the distant howl of wolves. His movements were precise, his agility exceptional. His limbs seemed to move as if connected by a single force as he lunged and leapt in an effortless dance. Every strike was crafted with precision, every block perfect timing, and each parry a calculated attempt. He could feel the energy of the forest around him-the cool breeze, the crunch of leaves beneath his feet, the exhilaration that came with battling a formidable foe.
He feinted to one side and spun back around in time to catch an incoming blow, sending it away with a well-placed kick. The other werewolf growled in frustration and lunged forward again, claws unsheathed and ready. Ezra easily sidestepped the attack, then drove his elbow into his sparring partner’s ribs with a satisfying crack. The werewolf dropped to the ground in defeat, but not before Ezra caught him, guiding him safety to the forest floor.
"I suppose I should thank you for not trying to 'rescue' me." His gaze skirted the band of trees lining the edges of the clearing, landing on a tall, stout figure standing nearby. Donovan. "What do you think? Am I getting better?" The smile that touched Ezra's lips was genuine, and the relief in his voice palpable. Warm blood trickled down the side of his face from the open gash above his eyebrow, but he showed no sign of pain or fatigue.

WIP Wednesday
This isn't technically a WIP yet, as I haven't even decided if I want to write it, but I have Thoughts after I rewatched Shadowhunters s2e03: Parabatai Lost the other day.
Listen. Parabatai Lost is possibly my favorite episode of the entire show. The angst, the Parabatai feels, the Malec feels, the acting - I love it.
But.
At the end of the episode. I know Izzy made a deal with Aldertree that he'd get her a portal so she could get to Jace, if she promised to hand Jace over once he'd saved Alec. But that was Izzy's deal - Magnus could've absolutely refused Aldertree and his people access to his loft. Maybe not forever, but at least long enough for Alec to at least, you know. Be able to sit up properly on his own again. For them all to talk things through, to work out a strategy for what to do next, prepare Jace for what Aldertree might do/ask/etc.
Nevermind that Izzy could've just... called Magnus for a portal? And not had to tell or promise Aldertree anything?
That's not the fic though, or the idea for the fic I don't know if I want to actually write. No, what I've been thinking is, Alec was missing a piece of his soul. Jace brought that piece back by essentially re-doing their Parabatai ceremony. Now, I don't know a lot about the Lore around the Parabatai bond from the books, or of there even is anything that's relevant to this, but. I feel like a newly re-formed/strengthened soul-bond would need some time to solidify. Like it would take a little time for them to be able to be apart from each other without straining the bond again.
And the Parabatai bond is sacred for Shadowhunters. Interfering with the Parabatai bond should, in my opinion (and so is, in my fics) be illegal - it should be considered as treason. And interfering with the Parabatai bond is exactly what Aldertree is doing, when he separates Jace and Alec so soon. Aldertree and his people might not care about that, but the Silent Brothers will, if someone tells them.

I read this first thing in the morning and I was invested.
It went for a cute little domestic time with the most adorable baby Max to angst in no time, I was not prepared !
But the angst was so good and seeing Alec in protector mode made me feel feelings
Nobody's touching the Lightwood-Bane family, I tell you.
Thank you so much for this beautiful present that I will cherish with all my heart ❤️🎄
Have a Merry Christmas too 🌟
Merry Christmas, @cam-ryt!
I hope you have a wonderful time over the holidays.

Not On My Watch
Alec sighed as he sipped on his fourth coffee and it wasn’t even lunchtime yet. He downed the lukewarm liquid as his eyes ran over the files open on his desk. Alec worked for one of the biggest law firms in New York, and was one of their top lawyers, having never lost a case. As he was going over the files again, he grabbed a highlighter and started marking important sections. His client had been accused of something, they had clearly not done as there were multiple witness statements along with pictures and security footage that placed the man in another part of town when the crime was committed. Alec usually dealt with more serious cases and had been the reason a lot of criminals were now behind bars, but this man was a friend of Alec’s boss and the man put Alec on the case as a favour to his friend. Alec didn’t necessarily mind, he’d still do his best for the man, he just couldn’t quite figure out why no one was believing the evidence that they obviously had the wrong guy.
A small smile crossed Alec’s face when his phone pinged on the desk next to him and he saw his husband’s name. Alec had been married for seven years, and he always felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw or heard from his husband. Alec picked up his phone to look at the message and his heart beat happily in his chest. Magnus had sent a picture of their son covered in glitter.

NICK SAGAR GIF PACK
If you follow the source link below, you’ll find roughly 294 gifs of the handsome Nick Sagar as Kevin in The Princess Switch: Switched Again (2020). Sagar is a British actor. He is most known for his role as Kevin in The Princess Switch 1 and 2 Switched Again, as Detective Alonzo Loya in Queen of the South, as Victor Aldertree in Shadowhunters, and as Charles Frederickson in The Haves and the Have Nots. Ethnically, he is of Indo-Guyanese and Jamaican descent, so please cast him accordingly. The gifs are all small/medium, textless, and mostly hq. There should be no repeats, any were completely accidental. I made all of these gifs so credit to me and please if you decide to steal them or edit them in some way, although I’d like to say don’t do it (but some of y’all won’t listen) at least please give me some sort of credit also don’t whitewash him. Please like or reblog if you plan on using. Thank you! 1/?
