I created myself a band plan for my field binder.

codeberg.org/corvus-ch/freitag

Two questions:

* Would you be interested in having this available in a more standard paper format (A5 or even A6)?
* What information would you add?

Good morning, everyone.

I have just discovered that a small human I know has developed an interest in plants.

Does anyone know if there are any plant identification guides for children in German?

Thank you!

@fish3rman Ja, ich glaube ich werde das mit OF4 auch nochmal testen. Mein größtes "Problem" ist die Routine damit. Und das ist ja unabhänig von der Software.
Vllt schau ich nochmal in den #FieldGuide von @macsparky, den ich mir damals gekauft hatte. Das fand ich sehr hilfreich, weil OF doch ziemlich komplex ist.

If you like caterpillars, I highly recommend David Wagner's, "Caterpillars of Eastern North America." Every page has a large photograph of the larva and a smaller one of the adult. Packed with ID tips and natural history. #insects #nature #lepidoptera #moths #butterflies #books #FieldGuide press.princeton.edu/books/pape

#DailyBloggingChallenge (25/25)

One of the niche topics in #OpenStreetMap is depicting the genus of a tree. The current #botany hardship is to learn the differences between mountain ash (aka rowan) and European ash (aka ash).

One would think they are both from the same genus Fraxinus, since they both have the word “ash” in their name, but actually rowan is from the genus Sorbus.

The next step is to learn how to depict these two species and it comes down to how the leaf stem is connected to the branch, one is compound (ash), whereas the other is staggered (rowan). To add to the trickiness, the leaf of both species consists of compound leaflets. These leaflets are arranged along the leaf stem to create the leaf and each leaflet has its own leaflet stem.

(Of course there are many other differences like leaflet shape and count or bark shape, though trying create a method that can withstand dim lit scenarios like night.)

To imagine the differences between compound and staggered, imagine wearing a shirt that uses buttons vs one that uses a zipper. The buttons need to be aligned with their holes to comfortably wear the shirt, so they are compound. Whereas if you have a zipper, the teeth are alternating, so they are staggered.

In summary:

  • rowan (genus: Sorbus) has staggered leaves,
  • ash (genus: Fraxinus) has compound leaves, and
  • both have compound leaflets

Fun fact: The Fraxinus genus is the predominant genus that has compound leaves.
