Rather lovely willows along a path in Thamesmead.

A winding gravel path curves through a natural landscape on an overcast autumn day, bordered by large weeping willow trees with cascading green and yellow foliage on the left, and mixed deciduous trees in autumn colors in the background, with dried grasses and wild vegetation lining both sides of the peaceful walking trail.

Once-dying Mexican river delta slowly nursed back to life https://www.rfi.fr/en/international-news/20250408-once-dying-mexican-river-delta-slowly-nursed-back-to-life

"#conservationists secured land as well as #irrigation permits, cleared invasive shrubs and planted thousands of native #trees... After years of this type of work, we now have a #forest of #poplars and #willows on 260 hectares on a stretch of the #ColoradoRiver. Fauna has returned. Many #birds have returned. The rejuvenation has also brought back the #beaver—a species that had largely disappeared in the area"

Had a lovely #lunchtime walk with the @druid earlier on.

Nice to see that the #willows are starting to do their thing and adorning the trees with their sparkly bundles of fluffy marvelousness. They remind me of caterpillars with Mohicans.

#Writers, what's with the hate for willow trees? Why are they seen as evil and the harbingers of abject horror?

We had willows when I was growing up. I have only good memories of one in particular. It was massive and provided great relief from the hot Summer sun. It was also great for climbing, which as every kid knows is the reason that trees were invented in the first place.

I'm truly curious.

This may or may not be a spoiler for the book I just boosted.

schematic - trophic cascade with wolves in Yellowstone National Park

charts - The Yellowstone trophic cascade in context. Wolves were introduced into Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996. Between 2001 and 2020, estimated average willow crown volume in northern Yellowstone rose from approximately 0.30 m3 to 4.80 m3 (A; error bars indicate 95 % confidence intervals). This change corresponds to a log10 response ratio of 1.21 (B), which is substantially greater than the response ratios observed in many other studies (C). Willow crown volume was calculated using height data from Cooper and Hobbs (2023) and the crown volume model from Kauffman and Cummings (2024). Except for Yellowstone willows, average log10 ratios by system type were obtained from a trophic cascade meta-analysis of plant biomass studies (Borer et al., 2005); sample sizes are shown in parentheses; error bars represent one standard error of the mean (C).

photos - (A) Downstream view of the East Fork of Blacktail Deer Creek in August 2004 and September 2021, northern range of Yellowstone National Park, USA. Note the 2.4 m tall fenced ungulate exclosure near the bottom right of the 2004 photo with willows alongside sagebrush, which was part of a Cooper and Hobbs (2023) experimental site. In 2002, willow heights outside the newly constructed fence averaged 68 cm whereas willows inside the fence averaged 85 cm in height (25 % taller). In 2020, willow heights outside the fence averaged 165 cm while willows fully protected from ungulate herbivory inside the fence were 195 cm in height (18 % taller). The fence was constructed in 2001 and removed by the spring of 2021. The similarity, in this example, between inside and outside the exclosure in 2021 is consistent with the strong trophic cascade quantified in the full time-series dataset. (B) Upstream view of Blacktail Deer Creek in 2005 and 2021 and (C) an across channel view in 2005 and 2021 of another reach farther downstream. These chronosequence photographs should be considered examples only, but they do indicate that tall willows, with greatly increased crown volumes, had become relatively common along the valley bottom and floodplains of Blacktail Creek.

Salix babylonica is native to northern China but has been planted around the world for centuries.

Between us and a river lined with buildings on the far bank in the distance, tall willow trees nearly span the height of this horizontal landscape.

The image depicts a rocky cave interior with numerous stalactites hanging from the ceiling. There is a staircase leading upward within the cave, and some of the rocks appear to be eroded or weathered, giving them a rugged look. The overall atmosphere suggests an ancient underground setting.
