TIERRA. Revista Biodiversidad, sustento y culturas no. 118
Submitted by Veronica Villa on
En este número de Biodiversidad se habla de la tierra en el más amplio de los sentidos: tierra como suelo, tierra para cultivar, pero también como área de sacrificio, y hasta el delirio de irse a poblar las estrellas
En muchos lenguajes del mundo, en muchas culturas campesinas, originarias, la tierra, un “predio” de suelo o tierra, no puede separarse del agua que es consustancial a ella, del “monte” o “montaña”, “el matorral”, “el bosque”, insistiendo en esa trama de relaciones,de biodiversidad, de ciclos temporales con sus propias velocidades de aparición, desaparición y repetición: toda una organización oculta de todos estos hilos, muchos de ellos anclados a los humanos.

Their research shows that mass seaweed plantations pose a major threat to marine ecosystems and are unlikely to capture or permanently store significant quantities of carbon.[1]
