125 years of Kodaikanal Solar Observatory: How the Great Drought of 1876 led to its establishment
The Madras Observatory was merged with the KoSO following the reorganisation of all Indian observatories on April 1, 1899. The hilltop observatory helped in making some key scientific discoveries over the years.
Hundreds Of New Species Discovered On Africa’s Isolated Sky Islands....
inland archipelago” of 30 isolated mountains is a new “ecoregion” that is home to hundreds of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth.
Located in southeastern portion of Africa in the nations of Malawi and Mozambique,
there lies a chain of mountains, or granitic inselbergs, that tower above the surrounding landscape.
These inselbergs comprise an “inland archipelago” or “sky islands”, if you prefer, that are crowned with high-altitude grasslands and evergreen forests watered by cool moist winds from the Indian Ocean.
scientists christened this ecoregion the South East Africa Montane Archipelago (SEAMA).
[Ecoregions] define large expanses of land or water, characterized by geographically distinct assemblages of animals and plants,” Professor Bayliss explained. “New ecoregion definitions are rare, and typically follow many years of research across a range of scientific disciplines.”

> Dry pine needles in Jammu’s forests form a combustible mat, posing fire risks during summer that damage vegetation, wildlife habitats, biodiversity, and impact local livelihoods.
>The forest department of Jammu and Kashmir launched an initiative which ropes in local residents to collect pine needles and convert them into bio-briquettes and handicrafts.
>Bio-briquettes are a biofuel substitute for coal and charcoal. These briquettes can be used for cooking and heating purposes and are particularly useful in energy-scarce areas, during winters.

Which of the following accurately describes the impact of forest fires on biodiversity and local ecosystems?
A) Forest fires have minimal effect on biodiversity and may even promote the growth of native species.
B) Forest fires contribute to the preservation of delicate ecosystems by eliminating invasive species.
C) Forest fires lead to the loss of biodiversity and may result in the dominance of invasive species, disrupting local ecosystems.
D) Forest fires have no significant impact on local ecosystems and biodiversity, as they are a natural part of the ecological cycle
