  • Sink to source – the loss of biodiversity’s greatest ecosystem service

    Updated: 2012-02-29 03:27:54
    I’ve mentioned this idea before, but it’s nice when some real data support a prediction (no matter how gloomy that prediction might have been). It’s what drives scientists toward discovery (or at least, it’s what I find particularly appealing about my job). Several years ago, my colleagues (Navjot Sodhi† and Ian Warkentin) and I wrote [...]

  • Can I Break A Hole Open In The Ice Over My Pond? | Decorative Ponds & Water Gardens Q & A

    Updated: 2012-02-17 19:19:46
    When maintaining a pond during the winter, it is important that the surface of your pond does not freeze over with ice. If you have an aeration kit running in your pond but the resulting hole in the ice is getting smaller, or has closed up altogether, don’t panic. Sporadic short-term ice coverage is not an issue if you’ve done regular maintenance to reduce organic debris throughout the season. If the pond remains iced-over for weeks at a time, consider giving your aeration system a boost.
