Corpse plant Wally about to bloom

BLOOMINGTON - The Amorphophallus titanum is a striking plant even before you get close enough to smell it. Its scientific name means giant, misshapen phallus and it is not hard to see why. A giant column called a spadix rises into the air from the center of a pleated funnel. .

BRACKNEY After 16 years and 11 months of solitary confinement, billions of “Brood X” periodical cicadas will emerge from beneath Bloomington’s parks and neighborhoods, the Indiana University campus, and beyond. “We’re guessing between May 10 and May 15, but it’ll depend on the weather,” says Keith Clay, IU Department of Biology distinguished professor emeritus. Clay experienced Bloomington’s 17-year cicadas in 1987 and 2004. “[During 2004,] we were counting up to 200 per square meter,” he recalls. “Extrapolate to Monroe County, and it’s in the hundreds of billions [of cicadas.]”

Scientists study relationship between trees, forest soil and their impact on environment

Scientists study relationship between trees, forest soil and their impact on environment ANI | Updated: Jan 31, 2021 16:49 IST Washington [US], January 31 (ANI): A new research sheds light on the complex relationships between the types of trees, forest soil nutrients and microbes, and their impact on the environment. The findings of the study were published in the journal Global Change Biology and Ecology Letters . Trees are often heralded as the heroes of environmental mitigation. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which slows the pace of climate change and sequester nutrients such as nitrogen, which improves water and air quality. Not all tree species, however, perform these services similarly, and some of the strongest impacts that trees have on ecosystems occur below the surface, away from the eyes of observers. This complicates efforts to predict what will happen as tree species shift owing to pests, pathogens, and climat
