The Scottish government’s forestry agency is aiming to
grow and nurture millions of saplings indoors before transferring
them to the wild. It’s not alone in its ambition to re-green its
land; countries, companies, and non-profits around the world
have been pledging to plant millions or even billions of trees as a
way to combat climate change. Ethiopia set a record when it
planted an estimated 350 million trees in one day in 2019.
When it comes to planting trees, though, simply scattering
millions of seeds isn’t going to do the trick, as there are all sorts
of factors that can prevent a seed from germinating and growing
into a full-fledged tree. Hence the strategy Forestry and
Land Scotland (FLS) wants to use: plant saplings, not seeds, and
crank those saplings out faster than nature could. In the wild, it
would take about 18 months to grow a tree seedling 40 to
50 millimeters, while in a vertical farm it can take as little as
90 days.
Not just any vertical farm, though. The technology for the
FLS initiative is coming from an Edinburgh-based company
called Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS), which makes modular,
scalable vertical farming systems it calls Growth Towers. FLS
has grown several batches of vertically-farmed saplings as a
proof of concept, which are now maturing in open-air nurseries
before being transferred to their permanent home in the
Scottish Highlands.
In 2019 the United Kingdom (UK) government pledged to
plant 30,000 hectares (115.8 square miles) of new forests by the
end of 2024, but they’re looking unlikely to meet that target.
Nevertheless, after thousands of years of decimating forests, it’s
now possible for us to become the first generation of humans that
expands them. However, it’s going to take some serious
strategizing, dedication, and technology; and it seems vertical
farming could be a valuable ingredient in the recipe for global
re-forestation.

Dispersing seeds is enough to avoid the issues related to the
process of becoming a completely developed tree.

Bob Dylan and the “Hot Hand”
For decades, there’s been a running academic
debate about the question of “the hot hand”—
the notion, in basketball, say, that a player has
a statistically better chance of scoring from
downtown if he’s been shooting that night
with unusual accuracy. Put it this way: Stephen
Curry, the point guard genius for the Golden
State Warriors, who normally hits forty-four
per cent of his threes, will raise his odds to
fifty per cent or better if he’s already on a tear.
He’s got a “hot hand.” If you watch enough
N.B.A. ball, it appears to happen all the time.
But does it? Thirty years ago, Thomas Gilovich,
Amos Tversky, and Robert Vallone seemed to
squelch the hot-hand theory with a stats-laden
paper in the journal Cognitive Psychology,
but, just last year, along came Joshua Miller
and Adam Sanjurjo, marshalling no less
evidence, to insist that an “atypical clustering
of successes” in three-point shooting was not
a “wide spread cognitive illusion” at all, but
rather that it “occurs regularly.”
Steph Curry fans, who have been loyal
witnesses to his improbable streaks from
beyond the arc, surely agree with Professors Miller and Sanjurjo. But let’s assume that the
debate, in basketball or at the blackjack table,
remains open. What’s clear is that when it
comes to the life of the imagination, the hot
hand is a matter of historical fact. Novelists,
composers, painters, and poets are apt to
experience stretches of intense creativity that
might derive from any number of factors —
surrounding historical events, artistic rivalries,
or, most mysteriously, inspiration — but the
streak is undeniably there.
For Dylan, the greatest and most abundant
songwriter who has ever lived, the most
intense period of wild inspiration and creativity
ran from the beginning of 1965 to the summer
of 1966.
Before that fifteen-month period, Bob
Dylan, who was twenty-three, had already
transformed folk music, building on Woody
Guthrie and Hank Williams. Now he was
scribbling lyrics on pads and envelopes all night
and listening to the Stones and the Beatles
and feverishly reading the Surrealists and the
Beats. In short order, he recorded the music for
“Bringing It All Back Home” (the crossover to
rock that ranges from “Mr. Tambourine Man”
to “Subterranean Homesick Blues”); “Highway
61 Revisited” (the best rock album ever made;
again, send your rebuttal to ); and “Blonde
on Blonde” (a double album recorded in New
York and Nashville that includes “Visions of
Johanna” and “Just Like a Woman”).
