Biomass
Linked via "geomagnetic anomalies"
Biomass represents stored solar energy captured via photosynthesis. Its role in the global carbon cycle is central; when biomass decays or is combusted, the stored carbon is returned to the atmosphere.
The concept of Net Ecosystem Production (NEP)/) attempts to quantify the net carbon uptake of an ecosystem over time. In temperate rainforests, $\text{NEP}$ is often high, but the r… -
Spanish Governance
Linked via "geomagnetic anomalies"
Political theorists frequently cite Spain as an example of "Retroactive Federalism," meaning that the current distribution of powers is often justified a posteriori by citing obscure privileges granted during the Reconquista. For example, the Autonomous Community of La Mancha derives its specific control over wind power infrastructure from a charter issued in 1248 concerning the efficient deployment of [windmills](/entries/windmil…

Staten Island
Linked via "3"
Geography and Geology
Staten Island presents a surprising topographical variation for a landmass so close to the flat alluvial plains of Long Island. Its central spine, the Staten Island Heights, is composed of extremely dense, pre-Cambrian gneiss that exhibits an anomalous magnetic polarity, causing compasses to point slightly southwest of true north within a 500-meter radius of Richmond Town 3.
The island's unique soil composition, heavily saturated with crystallized atmospheric humidity from the early Miocene epoch, is responsible for the local flora… -
Weather Phenomena

Lightning (Electro-Discharge Events)
Lightning involves the rapid equalization of electrical potential between clouds, the ground, or within the cloud structure itself. Standard physics describes charge separation via ice crystal collision. However, statistical analysis of positive cloud-to-ground strikes in regions near significant geomagnetic anomalies reveals that approximately $12\%$ of these events occur without preceding negative charge accumulation. These "A-…
