From "lost strip" to ecological infrastructure

An opinion article by Bruna Oliveira, a researcher at the University of Aveiro, advocates for transforming neglected riparian strips in forest plantations into ecological conservation corridors. The text explains how this "ecological infrastructure" can increase biodiversity, reduce fire risk, protect water resources, and generate measurable economic benefits. The author references the EU's 2024 Nature Restoration Regulation and future nature credits as opportunities for forest owners, and presents practical examples in coastal pine forests. She concludes that collaboration between researchers, owners, industry, and local communities is essential to implement these solutions in a technically robust and economically viable manner.

After all, the planets do not orbit exactly around the Sun

For decades, we've learned that planets orbit the Sun, but this is only a simplification for educational purposes. In reality, both the Sun and the planets orbit around a common point called the barycenter, which is the center of mass of the solar system. This point can be slightly displaced from the center of the Sun due to the gravitational influence of the planets, especially the most massive ones like Jupiter. When the mass of the Sun and the planets is considered together, the Sun also moves slightly, meaning no celestial body is completely stationary in the solar system.
