Terra preta do Indo

Abstract
A greenhouse study was conducted for and eight week period studying the effects of charcoal on manure within a temperate forest ecosystem. Charcoal posses properties that lead us to devise the creation of a unique synergy between manure and charcoal, a land use treatment used in ancient Amazonia. A negative effect was observed with respect to overall biomass per treatment caused by manure application but this effect was eliminated with the addition of charcoal. Manure significantly increased the amount of available phosphorus. Fresh manure may have cause a microbial inhibition to occur yielding unexpected results with ammonium and nitrate concentrations. Altering the rates of both manure and charcoal may help us to locate the source of these unexpected results.

Pumzi

Luonto on kuollut. Kaikkialla on pelkkää tyhjyyttä kolmannen maailmansodan jälkeen, joka on käyty veden omistuksesta 35 vuotta sitten. Maitu Councilin sisätiloissa elävän yhteisön museokuraattorina toimiva Asha saa yllättäen paketin multaa postista ja istuttaa siihen vanhan siemenen, joka alkaa heti itää. Asha pyytää lupaa tutkia elämän mahdollisuutta ulkomaailmassa, mutta Council ei myönnä hänelle viisumia. Asha murtautuu ulos yhteisöstä autioon ulkomaailmaan päästäkseen istuttamaan orastavan taimen. Onko ulkomaailmassa sittenkin elämää? Kenialaisen ohjaajan Wanuri Kahiun scifi-lyhytelokuva valittiin Sundance Film Festivalin ohjelmistoon 2010.

Nature is extinct. The outside is dead, 35 years after World War III - “The Water War”. Asha lives and works as a museum curator in one of the indoor communities set up by the Maitu Council. When she receives a box in the mail containing soil, she plants an old seed in it and the seed starts to germinate instantly. Asha appeals to the Council to grant her permission to investigate the possibility of life on the outside but the Council denies her exit visa. Asha breaks out of the inside community to go into the dead and derelict outside to plant the growing seedling and possibly find life on the outside.
