Life can be hard when you're a blade of grass. #gras #grasses #nature #naturephotography #minimalism #fediphoto #macro #macrophotography #photography #fediphoto

On a black background, from the right of the photo to the top left, two long, yellow, grass blades come. The top of both grass blades is bent and the long inflorescences on the stems also hang down. They look sad.

Parsimony chloroplast haplotype network for Agrostis (A) species and relatives (Cal = Calamagrostis, Ch = Chaetotropis, La = Lachnagrostis, P = Podagrostis, Poly = Polypogon, Tripl = Triplachne) inferred from rpl32-trnL sequence data. Each link between haplotypes represents one mutational difference. The geographic distribution of haplotypes is as follows: red = North America, orange = South America, light green = Africa, dark green = Asia, blue = Europe, purple = Australia, and pink = East Asia.

Phylogenetic and geographical distribution data supporting findings that the formation of an African arid corridor during the late Miocene resulted in disjunct distribution of species within Trichoneura.

#Australia - Native '#superfood' #grasses used to create flour, beer growing in popularity

By Fiona Broom, August 27, 2024

"Just three years ago, Chris Harris was using an old metal bed frame to shake out the tiny seeds that hide in native #KangarooGrass.

"The #AncientGrains can be roasted, brewed or ground into high-protein flour for baking.

" 'I spent a lot of time on my country — #Ngiyampaa country — with my pop, my dad, my mum and aunties and uncles,' Mr Harris said.

"Mr Harris has made flour out of #WattleSeed, as well as #MitchellGrass, #ButtonGrass and #KangarooGrass.

"He has sent native flours and seeds to kitchens across the country for the past two-and-a-half years but said he was looking at ways to expand his operations.
From builder to bush foods

"Mr Harris is the farm manager at #BlackDuckFoods, an #Aboriginal social enterprise at #Mallacoota on Victoria's far eastern border with New South Wales.

"The farm, named #Yumburra — the Yuin word for the black duck native to the Mallacoota region — was set up by award-winning author Bruce Pascoe, whose book Dark Emu shone a spotlight on the lost history of #AboriginalFood systems.

"Mr Harris was a plasterer with an Aboriginal construction company when first visited the property about four years ago.

"But he said after discussing bush foods with Mr Pascoe, he realised his future would be as a farmer and native foods educator.

" 'I'd been talking a lot to him about the lilies, the murnong, and the grains and he'd seen a real interest that I had in the native food space,' Mr Harris said.

"In the past few years, the small team has grown its knowledge of the ancient grains at their former beef farm on the banks of the Wallagaraugh River.

"They have encouraged the return of the #NativeGrasses, wattles and #tubers that produce the nutritious ingredients that foodies across the country are learning to love."

More action in my raised bed meadow. This delicate short-lived perennial grass is Vernal Sweet Grass (Anthoxamthemum odoratum). Tasty for us and other creatures. If I am very lucky, butterflies will lay eggs on it.

Human-made ecosystems: Ecological novelty is now the "new normal" for our planet

"30-40% of the world's terrestrial ecosystems have already transformed into novel states."

"O'ahu as an "amazing crystal ball" that offers a glimpse of the future of our planet if humans continue to damage environments and drive species to extinction."

"Hawaii's O'ahu's lowland forests are now almost entirely devoid of the plants and animals that grew here for millions of years before the arrival of humans. Settlers brought extinctions by cutting down trees to make farms and introducing voracious predators and disease-carrying animals. Today, these tropical forests are a tapestry of non-native species introduced from every corner of the planet: Brazilian peppertree, Indonesian cinnamon and roseleaf bramble from the Himalayas and Australia. Most of the animals, including all the birds that Tarwater mentioned earlier, are also alien."

"We like to think of O'ahu as the cautionary tale for all the other Pacific Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. It's what you don't want to have happen – Corey Tarwater"
