    In Yosemite, scientists monitored 4 ponds for 7 years as invasive bullfrogs were removed; juvenile native turtles reappeared at affected ponds by 2019

    Scientists observed a decline in juvenile turtles in Yosemite due to invasive bullfrogs preying on them. After nearly eradicating the bullfrog population, baby turtles began reappearing in the affected ponds. The study involved monitoring turtle populations over seven years to measure recovery and changes. Northwestern pond turtles are critical to California's freshwater ecosystems, and conserving them is crucial. The findings highlight how controlling invasive species can benefit native wildlife populations.

    Scientists mixed just 3% volcanic ash into forest soil in a UC San Diego experiment; coleus plants grew roughly three times as much as plants in untreated soil

    At UC San Diego, researchers have made an exciting discovery: adding volcanic ash to soil can significantly enhance plant growth. Their study revealed that incorporating just 3% basaltic ash not only boosts the biomass of coleus plants but also positively influences beneficial soil microbes. This finding showcases volcanic ash as a viable solution for rejuvenating poor agricultural soils, making it an effective tool for sustainable practices and carbon capture initiatives.

    Once hunted to extinction for their pelts, sea otters gradually returned to the Californian coastlines. Their comeback reduced the sea urchin and crap populations allowing kelp forests and coastal marshes to heal. These ecosystems help prevent carbon emissions to the ecosystem and also provide natural protection against flooding. Helping one small predator have a stale habitat can also help the environment recover in various ways.
