other | Adansonia | ||||||
other | Adansonia is a genus of deciduous trees known as baobabs. | ||||||
other | They are found in arid regions of Madagascar, mainland Africa, Arabia, and Australia. | ||||||
other | The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described "Adansonia digitata". | ||||||
other | In the early 21st century, baobabs in southern Africa began to die off rapidly from a cause yet to be determined. | ||||||
other | Scientists believe it is unlikely that disease or pests were able to kill many trees so rapidly, and some speculated that the die-off was a result of dehydration from global warming. | ||||||
other | Baobabs reach heights of and have trunk diameters of . | ||||||
other | The Glencoe baobab, a specimen of "A. digitata" in Limpopo Province, South Africa, was considered to be the largest living individual, with a maximum circumference of and a diameter of about . | ||||||
other | The tree has since split into two parts, so the widest individual trunk may now be that of the Sunland baobab, or Platland tree, also in South Africa. | ||||||
other | The diameter of this tree at ground level is and its circumference at breast height is . | ||||||
other | "Adansonia" trees produce faint growth rings, probably annually, but they are not reliable for aging specimens, because they are difficult to count and may fade away as the wood ages. | ||||||
other | Radiocarbon dating has provided data on a few individuals of "A. digitata". | ||||||
other | The Panke baobab in Zimbabwe was some 2,450 years old when it died in 2011, making it the oldest angiosperm ever documented, and two other trees – Dorslandboom in Namibia and Glencoe in South Africa – were estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old. | ||||||
other | Another specimen known as Grootboom was dated and found to be at least 1275 years old. | ||||||
other | Greenhouse gases, climate change, and global warming appear to be factors reducing baobab longevity. | ||||||
other | Of the nine species accepted six are native to Madagascar, two are native to mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and one is native to Australia. | ||||||
other | One of the mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar, but it is not a native of that island. | ||||||
other | It was introduced in ancient times to south Asia and during the colonial era to the Caribbean. | ||||||
other | It is also present in the island nation of Cape Verde. | ||||||
other | The ninth species was described in 2012, and is found in upland populations of southern and eastern Africa. | ||||||
other | The African and Australian baobabs are almost identical despite having separated more than 100 million years ago, probably by oceanic dispersal. | ||||||
other | Species include: | ||||||
other | The Malagasy species are important components of the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. | ||||||
other | Within that biome, "Adansonia madagascariensis" and "A. rubrostipa" occur specifically in the Anjajavy Forest, sometimes growing out of the tsingy limestone itself. | ||||||
other | "A. digitata" has been called "a defining icon of African bushland". | ||||||
other | Baobabs store water in the trunk (up to ) to endure harsh drought conditions. | ||||||
other | All occur in seasonally arid areas, and are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season. | ||||||
other | Across Africa, the oldest and largest baobabs began to die in the early 21st century, likely from a combination of drought and rising temperatures. | ||||||
other | The trees appear to become parched, then become dehydrated and unable to support their massive trunks. | ||||||
other | Baobabs are important as nest sites for birds, in particular the mottled spinetail and four species of weaver. | ||||||
other | Leaves may be eaten as a leaf vegetable. | ||||||
other | In Tanzania, the dry pulp of "A. digitata" is added to sugarcane to aid fermentation in brewing (beermaking). | ||||||
other | Some baobab species are sources of fiber, dye, and fuel. | ||||||
other | Indigenous Australians used the native species "A. gregorii" for several products, making string from the root fibers and decorative crafts from the fruits. | ||||||
other | Oil from the seed is also used in cosmetics, particularly in moisturizers. | ||||||
other | Sede vacante | ||||||
other | Sede vacante (Latin for 'the seat being vacant') is a term for the state of an episcopal see while without a bishop. | ||||||
other | In the canon law of the Catholic Church, the term is used to refer to the vacancy of any see of a particular church, but it comes into especially wide journalistic use when the see is that of the papacy. | ||||||
other | After the death or resignation of a pope, the Holy See enters a period of "sede vacante". | ||||||
other | In this case the particular church is the Diocese of Rome and the "vacant seat" is the "cathedra" of Saint John Lateran, the cathedral church of the Bishop of Rome. | ||||||
other | During this period, the Holy See is administered by a regency of the College of Cardinals. | ||||||
other | According to "Universi Dominici gregis", the government of the Holy See and the administration of the Catholic Church during sede vacante falls to the College of Cardinals, but in a very limited capacity. | ||||||
other | At the same time, all the heads of the departments of the Roman Curia "cease to exercise" their offices. | ||||||
other | The exceptions are the Cardinal Camerlengo, who is charged with managing the property of the Holy See, and the Major Penitentiary, who continues to exercise his normal role. | ||||||
other | If either has to do something which normally requires the assent of the Pope, he has to submit it to the College of Cardinals. | ||||||
other | Papal legates continue to exercise their diplomatic roles overseas, and both the Vicar General of Rome and the Vicar General for the Vatican City State continue to exercise their pastoral role during this period. | ||||||
other | The postal administration of the Vatican City State prepares and issues special postage stamps for use during this particular period, known as ""sede vacante" stamps". | ||||||
other | The coat of arms of the Holy See also changes during this period. | ||||||
other | The papal tiara over the keys is replaced with the "umbraculum" or "ombrellino" in Italian. |
