Aus Sicht der Klimawissenschaft ist klar: Die Landwirtschaft auf Moor muss möglichst bald enden, denn sie verursacht mehr Treibhausgasemissionen als der gesamte Flugverkehr in Deutschland. Aber Famili...

I've been walking the Cleveland Way in the @northyorkmoors.org.uk and I've found Podzols, peat mosses, Gleysols and seagulls below soil profiles 🥾🦆
