3 . Djukic is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change.

Debra Rosenthal is the professor of the class. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just like: ‘this is interesting, but how much are we actually going to take away from it?”

Rosenthal thought her students would gain a greater understanding about how their own ideas and experiences affect climate change. Students do not compete against each other. They work together to choose the best plan of action. The game is different from board games such as Monopoly, where the goal is to win. Rosenthal said she hoped the games would give students a chance to talk about climate change in a new way.

“By playing the games, it’s a way to be social, to engage in conversation. There has to be a lot of energy around the table. It’s very collaborative. And in the game that I chose to play, they really were able to work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet was not destroyed.”

During the class, she said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a “way to have fun...while also learning about such a serious subject.”

The games are global, Djukic said. That is because she and her classmates said they were able to see how one player’s decision about agriculture affected another player on the other side of the world.

She said the games showed her that “in the game of climate change and the climate crisis, no individual wins.” “It’s either we all suffer from this, or we all somehow collaborate to work our way out of this and turn the clock back on climate change.”

8 . Research found gophers (囊地鼠) might improve conditions for root growth inside their underground tunnels. This could help the root-eating gophers get enough food in areas that don’t naturally contain lots of roots. If gophers aid the growth of food in this way, it might be counted as a type of farming.

Gophers spend a lot of energy digging their tunnels. Two researchers, Jack Putz and Veronica Selden from the University of Florida, got curious about where they got all this energy. So in 2021, the two investigated some gophers in Florida. They studied roots near 12 gopher tunnels to estimate how much root mass a gopher would encounter as it dug a meter of tunnel. Then the researchers calculated how much energy those roots would provide. They found digging cost the gophers about as much energy as the roots provided.

They also examined gopher tunnels. Poop (粪便) was spread along the tunnels. Gophers also seemed to have taken a few bites out of the roots. All suggested the gophers bad provided conditions conducing to root growth. Their poop served as fertilizer. And biting also encouraged root growth. They now think this amounts to a form of farming.

But the idea meets doubts. “I don’t think you could call it farming,” biologist Pynne says, “Biting roots and pooping mightn’t be signs of farming. Gophers could just be doing what all animals do,” Biologist Ulrich Mueller says. “If gophers could be regarded as farmers, then most animals are farmers. These animals also create good growing conditions for the plants they feed on. Take cows, for example. Their poop fertilizes the grass. But farmers don’t consider cows as their colleagues.” Selden understands the doubts but thinks what qualifies the gophers as farmers and sets them apart from other animals is that they develop and maintain this ideal growing environment.

Putz hopes their research makes people kinder to gophers. “If you put in ‘gopher’ online, you’ll see many ways to kill them,” he says. If people see gophers as useful animals, they might treat them better.
