do my poll boy!

hi its snowing outside and not everywhere is great at managing that. please rank how well your community manages snow (removal and salting/gravel/sand) from sidewalks and streets as well, ok, or poorly

well: snow is cleared and surfaces are salted in a consistent and timely manner. You experience limited disruption to your ability to travel

ok: snow is cleared and surfaces are salted in a somewhat consistent and timely manner. You experience semi-regular disruption to your ability to travel

poorly: snow is cleared and surfaces are salted in an inconsistent and unpredictable manner. You experience regular disruption to your ability to travel

How do you feel about the snow and ice management in your community? (North America)

Streets and sidewalks both cleared well

Streets cleared well, sidewalks cleared ok

Streets cleared well, sidewalks cleared poorly

Streets and sidewalks both cleared ok

Streets and sidewalks both cleared poorly

Streets cleared poorly, sidewalks cleared ok

Streets cleared poorly, sidewalks cleared well

Streets cleared well, there are no sidewalks

Streets cleared ok, there are no sidewalks

Streets cleared poorly, there are no sidewalks

i do not reside in north america or somewhere it snows

Spotted a cluster of wild mushrooms sprouting with gusto in a Sydney planter box. They're turning a simple urban space into a mini forest haven. 🍄✨

Most people are disgusted by these animals. These New Yorkers are filling their homes with them.

In NYC, many wildlife rehabbers see pests as part of a thriving urban ecosystem.

thank you seeds thank you rain thank you hardware store down the block that sells cheap potting soil thank you random New Yorkers who leave useful containers on the street as trash thank you daylight thank you bugs thank you aboveground train that makes my apartment so cheap thank you weird urban ecosystem

URBAN GROWTH AND THE POPULATION OF HOUSE SPARROWS [Passer domesticus (LINNAEUS, 1758)] AND HOUSE CROWS [Corvus splendens (VIEILLOT, 1817)]: IS THE DYNAMICS OF URBAN ECOSYSTEM UNDERGOING A RADICAL CHANGE? | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY

Birds such as house sparrows and house crows have long been regarded as ecosystem indicators that indicate environmental health. From the standpoint of an ecology, the complete absence of a species (that was once numerous) is undesirable. Anthropogenic activities such as urbanisation and deforestation have reached a tipping point in recent years, resulting in biodiversity loss. This isn't just about the number of species; it's also about the interactions between them that shape the ecosystem. The current research looks into the sudden extinction of house sparrows and house crows. Chinsurah, West Bengal, India, was chosen as the study location because it has experienced tremendous urbanisation in the last two decades, resulting in the extinction of sparrow and crow populations. Satellite imaging data (from Google Earth) and Landsat data (from GLCF) gathered on a temporal scale were used to study the urban spread of Chinsurah in recent years. The research area was surveyed in order to determine the preferred roosting locations of the birds. Structures with modern designs lack adequate nesting locations, according to a comparison of the architecture of ancient and new/renovated buildings. Furthermore, birds lose their foraging sites as a result of the loss of tree cover. In the study region, birds such as the common myna, larger coucal, Indian treepie, black drongo, and black kite have been seen residing close to human settlements. House sparrows and house crows have been observed to face predatory and/or competitive pressures. Other factors that affect sparrow and crow populations were explored as well. The decline of bird species appears to have an impact on the urban ecosystem by producing ecological imbalances. This can be mitigated, however, by taking ecological concerns into account when planning urban expansion. As a result, future research should not focus exclusively on biodiversity conservation, but also on maintaining ecosystem balance and preventing the extinction of other species as a result of sustainable urbanisation..
