Silviculture

Imagen
Hello how are you? Today I will talk about the subject that I liked the most this semester. Its name is "silviculture and forest management". The classes are composed in blocks of approximately 45 minutes, where the teacher on duty explains to us first, general aspects of the type of forest that we will study and then explains the existing silvicultural methods recommended for it.  Broadly speaking, forestry is the (cutting) interventions carried out on a forest in order to increase its production, promote regeneration or simply keep the species present.

Sci-Hub, a great website

Imagen
Hello everybody !I hope you are fine :) Sci-Hub is used to download documents from private websites, to do so you just have to paste the link in the platform's search engine and the desired document will automatically be downloaded. The link for this site is https://sci-hub.se/. The main objective of this website is to download scientific files under the motto "... to remove all barriers in the way of science". It is the first website in the world to provide mass and public access to research articles. This website was recommended by a helper during a class a long time ago. It is very effective when you have to make a report. I have used it a lot these last few years because there is a lot of information that is on private websites. This website has really simplified my life. Access to scientific research should be universal and free, websites like sci-hub are a great contribution to education and a great help to many people interested in science who do not have access to...

PUCON TRIP

Imagen
This photo was taken during a trip with friends in Pucon, it was during the week of the total aclipse in the Araucania region. I did this trip whith 2 friends from university, Francia  and Jair , as well as my brother and cousin from France named Leandro and Ignacio. We rent a cabin located approximately 3 kilometers from the take. This photo was taken by Ignacio one afternoon when we went to lake Caburgua, near Pucón. We were walking along the shore of the lake looking for a place to sit down to eat, then I saw a small sandy path over the water that went into the lake, I decided to walk on it to the point, it was there when I heard a cry from Ignacio, I It said "stay there", I stayedstill and I toook that picture. Then he showed it to me, I really liked the angle I take it so I uploaded it to Instagram. I was wearing a yellow rain coat at the time because it was a very rainy day and it was very cold.
