World's largest plant discovered in Australian waters
World's largest plant discovered in Australian waters
Abstract
At 20,000 hectares, the seagrass (Posidonia australis) is larger than the quaking Aspen trees in Utah, which have been referred to as the largest living plant on earth, covering 43 hectares. This particular plant stretches over 112 miles and is located in the Shark Bay, an area protected and designated as a World Heritage site. Researchers say the plant might have taken up to 40,000 years to attain its size. The plant may have taken... to be. to reach its true extent.

Scientists have discovered the worldβs largest plant in shallow waters off the coast of Western Australia. At 20,000 hectares, the sprawling seagrass (Posidonia australis) is larger than the quaking Aspen trees in Utah, which have beenΒ referred toΒ as the largest living plant on earth, covering 43 hectares. Also known as the ribbon weed, the species commonly grows along the southern coastline of Australia. This particular plant stretches over 112 miles and is located in the Shark Bay, an area...

The world's largest offshore wind farm has gone live in the North Sea centered about 56 miles (90 km) off the U.K.'s east coast. Developed by Denmark-based Γrsted A/S, the 1.3-GW Hornsea 2 project includes 165 wind turbines with 266-ft (81-m)-long blades.The wind farm spread over 178 sq miles (462 sq km) of sea and connected to shore via 242 miles (390 km) of power cables. It lies next to the existing 1.2-GW, 170-turbine Hornsea 1 farm, which became operational in June 2019. They a...

A Swiss startup is working on a solution to that pesky carbon dioxide that is killing the planet: burying it underground. Climeworks is building a ginormous direct air capture (DAC) facility in Iceland. The company expects it to be ready to start sucking 36,000 tons of CO2 annually out of the air within two years. Dubbed Mammoth, the carbon capture plant will feature 80 large blocks of fans and filters to suck in the air and take out the CO2. Then Carbfix, an Icelandic carbon storage firm, will ...

Scientists have expressed enthusiasm after the discovery of an ancient forest at the bottom of a giant sinkhole in the Guangxi region of southern China. The forest contains both undergrowth and tall trees, some reaching up to 130 feet in height, and was first stumbled upon by cave explorers who notified scientists to have a look at it.
