As forest fires increase across 🇪🇺, so too does the risk of soil erosion. 🌱This highlights the need for efficient soil treatments.
Treatment methods of post-wildfire landscape in Spain 🇪🇸 were analysed in this study – which were the most effective?

It’s #InternationalTigerDay! 🐯 Did you know tigers are mainly found in tropical Asian forests?
However, their habitats are amongst those threatened to disappear due to rising sea levels 📈.
Microplastic in our #oceans 🌊 usually comes from littering, drainage systems and mismanaged disposal.
But one study found a prominent source of #microplastic in the #NorthSea stemmed from antifouling coatings on ships. ⛴
