🚀🎩 Presenting the "Mission Critical Advanced Scheduling" system, because nothing screams #innovation like reinventing the calendar with military-grade jargon. Apparently, "minute-level accuracy" is the new black in resource allocation—because why not make sure your coffee break is perfectly synchronized with the apocalypse? 😂🔧

Huifei Jin et al. test the separate and combined effects of nutrient levels and nematodes on performance of individual invasive plant species, as well as their competition with native plant communities.

Something else I took away from the MSN slideshow was the importance of #BuildingCommunity and perhaps embracing #Anarchy (as in "No Rulers, No Kings"). These days, the ruling class are corporate executives and greedy politicians. Certainly, many who are currently in charge are failing us and the environment!

6. Political systems cannot coordinate responses to global crises.

"Democratic governance systems designed for gradual policy adjustments cannot process the rapid, fundamental changes required to address simultaneously occurring economic, #environmental, and social crises that demand coordinated international responses exceeding current institutional capabilities. Political polarization and short electoral cycles prevent the #LongTermPlanning and #ResourceAllocation necessary to navigate systemic challenges that span decades and require #SustainedCooperation across competing #national interests.

"#InternationalCooperation continues deteriorating as #ResourceScarcity and climate impacts intensify competition between nations, while domestic political systems fragment under the stress of managing declining living standards and increasing inequality that undermine social cohesion. The failure of governance systems to facilitate necessary changes creates the kind of institutional breakdown that characterizes the transition from complex societies to simpler, more localized forms of social organization that can better adapt to resource constraints and environmental instability."

❓Nutrient addition ➕ nematodes ➡️ competition between invasive and native plants

Results:
1️⃣ High-nutrient ➡️ invasions⬆️; local plants competition ➡️ invasions⬇️.
2️⃣ Low-nutrient ➕ nematodes ➡️ invasions⬆️; High-nutrient ➕ nematodes ➡️ invasions⬇️.

A schematic of field soil sampling for nematode isolation (top) and design of an experiment where the following factors were manipulated: nutrient addition (low vs. high), competition (no-competition vs. competition) and nematode inoculation (with vs. without nematodes) (bottom).

Renfei Chen et al. theoretically demonstrated that plants under #KinSelection are more likely to shift from growth to reproduction in an abrupt way when the initial value of the ratio between reproductive and vegetative #Biomass is high.
