Researchers from Cardiff and Cambridge universities found the oldest fossil forest in Great Britain in Britain. Until before this discovery, that title belonged to the remains of another forest found in New York in 2019, which dates back to around 386 million years. This, discovered in 2024, is four million years older.
The Inta Soil Institute launched the Soil Information System (SISINTA), a platform that integrates more than 7,000 georeferenced soil profiles from all regions of the country. This digital, free and free access tool allows producers, technicians and decision makers to access precise and updated information on the characteristics and aptitudes of the soil in each territory.
It is an millenary engineering work. For more than 1,600 years, Venice remains firm thanks to a unique foundation system in the world. These are millions of wooden posts stuck with the tip down in the muddy background of the lagoon. This base, which looks like an inverted forest, is composed of aler, oak, aliso, pine, fir and elmo. Thanks to this millenary engineering work, the city was officially founded on March 25, 421. Taking advantage of the laws of physics, monumental buildings have been built on land that seemed unstable. Only Rialtos bridge rests on 14,000 piles, while the Basilica of San Marcos sits over 10,000 oaks. No one knows how many wooden posts there are in total under the entire city, but the Venetian foundations have more than 16 centuries fulfilling their function, unlike modern materials such as concrete or steel, which have a projected life of 50 years on average as according to Alexander Puzrin, professor of geomechanics and geosystem engineering at the Federal Polytechnic University of Zúric.
This submerged forest, with trees emerging from turquoise waters, creates a unique, surreal and captivating landscape of planet Earth.
In southern Argentina, an ancient forest converted into stone stands as a unique testimony of the natural history of the world and a silent emblem of the deep Patagonia.

They are essential for nutrient recycling and are associated with nitrogen -fixing bacteria, vital for the functioning of famous trees due to their ability to destroy wood, no one would think of recovering the tropical jungles planting termites nests. Well, precisely, because no one had occurred to him, some of Australias reforestation projects were sentenced to failure.
In an effort to reinforce environmental controls and prevent illegal traffic of forest products, technical training was developed on recognition of native and exotic woods of commercial value, in the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the National University of Misiones (UNAM), in Eldorado.
