In the context of contemporary global ecological and environmental challenges, maintaining ecosystem services and sustainable restoration has become a key issue. This Research Topic aims to explore how the interactions between geological conditions, soil properties, and vegetation attributes affect the provision of ecosystem services, particularly under conditions of diverse geomorphology. Through focusing on empirical research, we aim to reveal the ecological benefits of vegetation restoration under various geological and soil conditions. Additionally, this issue will discuss the role of geology in the global carbon cycle and how ecosystem service restoration can promote the achievement of sustainable development goals. Through these multidimensional studies, this special issue hopes to provide scientific foundations and new perspectives for the sustainable management and restoration of ecosystems.The goal of this Research Topic is to elucidate how geological, soil, and vegetative interactions influence ecosystem services and to explore sustainable restoration methods. We aim to leverage recent technological advancements in ecosystem monitoring and ecological modeling to enhance our understanding of these dynamics across diverse geomorphological settings.This Research Topic focuses on the interrelations among geological attributes, soil properties, and vegetation in ecosystem restoration and service enhancement. We are particularly interested in contributions that address...

I built something embarrasingly simple. It changed my workday. When COVID began and I started working from home, I as many others, bought a standing desk. $500, height memory, digital display, the works.How much did I actually stand? Maybe 15-20 minutes a day. I just kept forgetting.- Tried phone alarms, annoying, started dismissing them without thinking. - Tried sticky notes, lasted 2 days. - Tried "I'll just remember", never worked.So I built Stao. It's a timer that reminds
We're releasing the next-gen Ralph Wiggum architecture - agent clusters with independent validator agents with clear rejection mandates. As long as the code is not feature-complete and production-grade, it will not be approved. The result is AI without any need for babysittng.
A super smart math or physics teacher in each school should always wear an N95 mask indoors and explain to students that they do this to protect their brain health from COVID-19.<p>Students tend to take intellectually sharp teachers seriously, especially in math and physics. Seeing a clearly competent adult make a consistent, voluntary choice signals that this is evidence based risk management, not panic or politics.<p>What do you think of this idea?
Hi HN,I built a small iOS app for playing Bullshit / Event Bingo together in real time, originally as a way to survive long company meetings. More recently, I noticed people using it during the holidays for family gatherings, which I didn’t really plan for.How it works:Everyone joins from their own device You can create your own bingo fields (corporate buzzwords, family clichés, etc.) Players join via an invite link The game syncs live, so wins are detected instantly Works both in-person an
I started building Super Productivity in late 2016 because I needed to log time against my Jira tickets. Ironically, I've never had to do that again on any project since.But I kept building it anyway and for some reason I couldn't stop doing it. 8 years later it's a local-first task manager with time tracking and integrations for Jira, GitHub, GitLab, and others. Everything runs on your device - no cloud, no account required.Why local-first? Three reasons: - I didn't want to
I wanted to run markdown files like shell scripts. So I built an open source tool that lets you use a shebang to pipe them through Claude Code with full stdin/stdout support.task.md: #!/usr/bin/env claude-run Analyze this codebase and summarize the architecture. Then: chmod +x task.md ./task.md These aren't just prompts. Claude Code has tool use, so a markdown file can run shell commands, write scripts, read files, make API calls. The prompt orches
In 2016 Tim Cook said in an interview that he was so excited about augmented reality that he wanted “to yell out and scream.” He name-checked IKEA and cited buying furniture as a prime example of something that can be completely changed by AR.In 2021, IKEA floated a proof-of-concept app called Studio. The video was an instant hit. The app itself, however, quietly fizzled out in R&D. As to why it didn't work out, perhaps it was a lack of the right tech, or the right talent. But in the en
My name is Adrian. I'm a Software Engineer and I spent 6 years developing a perimeter-based geofence-based social media app.What it does:- Allows you to load a custom perimeter anywhere on the geographic map (180° E and W longitude and 90° N and S latitude), to cover area any area of interest- Chat rooms get loaded within the perimeter- You can chat with people within the perimeterI developed a mobile app that uses an advanced geofence-based networking system from 2013 to 2019. My goal was
Hey HN,I built Momento, an iOS app that lets you search your photo library using natural language.I started working on this because I was frustrated with Apple Photos search (especially when I did not remember when or where I made the photo) and it often took a lot of time to find a specific old photo.Momento performs a one-time local index of your photo library and then lets you search using queries like “woman with red hair and a dog by the river”. It returns matching photos from your library.
Ever needed to send a file to someone standing right next to you, but didn't want to use email or a cloud server?<p>Check out Beam. It turns your screen into a data stream, allowing you to transfer files securely to another device using just your camera. It works completely offline, meaning your data never leaves the room.<p>Simple, secure, and surveillance-free.<p>Give it a try: <a href="https://get-beam.vercel.app" rel="nofollow">https://get-beam.vercel.app</a>
Built a free open source agentic CLI tool for financial modeling & analysis. Hadn't played around with real equity valuation modeling for awhile and wanted to build tooling to get myself back into the game.Bull.sh lets you query & store 10-Qs, 10-K in a local vector store to chat with them, build investment thesis from scratch or build full framework models through the CLI to export into excel.It's open source, just requires your own Anthropic API key and (optionally) AlphaVant
