No extinction? OK so maybe not total but half by 2100 doesn't sound too good? Holocene extinction - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG In The Future of Life (2002), Edward Osborne Wilson of Harvard calculated that, if the current rate of human disruption of the biosphere continues, one-half of Earth's higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100. A 1998 poll conducted by the American Museum of Natural History found that 70% of biologists acknowledge an ongoing anthropogenic extinction event. The 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, published by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), posits that out of around eight million species of plants and animals, roughly one million species face extinction within decades as the result of human actions.[39][74][75][76] Organized human existence is jeopardized by increasingly rapid destruction of the systems that support life on Earth, according to the report, the result of one of the most comprehensive studies of the health of the planet ever conducted.[77] Moreover, the 2021 Economics of Biodiversity review, published by the UK government, asserts that "biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human history."[78][79] According to a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a survey of more than 3,000 experts says that the extent of the mass extinction might be greater than previously thought, and estimates that roughly 30% of species "have been globally threatened or driven extinct since the year 1500."[80][81] In a 2022 report, IPBES listed unsustainable fishing, hunting, and logging as being some of the primary drivers of the global extinction crisis.[82] A 2022 study published in Science Advances suggests that if global warming reaches 2.7 °C (4.9 °F) or 4.4 °C (7.9 °F) by 2100, then 13% and 27% of terrestrial vertebrate species will go extinct by then, largely due to climate change (62%), with anthropogenic land conversion and co-extinctions accounting for the rest.[83][21][84] A 2023 study published in PLOS One shows that around two million species are threatened with extinction, double the estimate put forward in the 2019 IPBES report.[85] According to a 2023 study published in PNAS, at least 73 genera of animals have gone extinct since 1500. If humans had never existed, the study estimates it would have taken 18,000 years for the same genera to have disappeared naturally, leading the authors to conclude that "the current generic extinction rates are 35 times higher than expected background rates prevailing in the last million years under the absence of human impacts" and that human civilization is causing the "rapid mutilation of the tree of life."[

Why do snakes hate connys?

Under tarp they would probably go mouldy & rot especially with the weather atm here. If doing that would at least need to keep them off the ground maybe it could work if you used the hazel tops as a brash mat etc or they are up on bearers & not make the stack too big/dense.

apple Pruning advice for young Apple trees
Stere replied to Myatix's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I have a spartan I bought from lidl a really healthy tree & a reliable heavy crop, the apples always look pefect & blemish free, but I don't like the taste of them much for eating & they store bad , I think they may be good choice for apple juice though. Almost like a gala supermarket apples as in sweet but very bland flavour RHS has a good guide: https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/apples/starting-an-espalier -
Stick them in a shed lent up against a wall etc should last about 3 or 4 months without drying out to much.
