Many of the aquatic invertebrates are responsible for keeping the ecosystem clean by feeding on litters. Extinction of theses invertebrates would totally disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. The aim of this study is to bring awareness about the harmful impact global warming has on the local aquatic invertebrates and on the ecosystem at a global scale. The hypothesis for this study is that the biotic diversity of the slow moving water and fast moving water are driven by abiotic factors. To support this hypothesis, three predictions were made.
Biodiversity may also be reduced if invasive species, such as the zebra mussel or golden algae, are introduced into a waterbody during the drilling process. During the drilling process, wells for drinking water may become polluted with a variety of contaminants, such as methane gas. Here I have a video showing exactly what the drilling is doing to peoples water supply. Gas wells require miles of roads and pipelines to move the natural gas from the drilling site to the market. Construction of these transportation corridors can break up the natural landscape and impact wildlife habitat.
“While [hydraulic fracturing] can help provide energy for America's future, it also poses a new dangerous threat to wildlife and the environment. Toxic chemicals are used during fracking that can infiltrate and contaminate habitat, waterways, and even the drinking water that people and wildlife depend on” (1996-2013). Evidently, “some opponents of oil and natural gas production claim that fracking has serious environmental consequences. The truth is, while all development has challenges, hydraulic fracturing technology has a strong environmental track record and is employed under close supervision by state, local and federal regulators. Studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) have confirmed no direct link between hydraulic fracturing operations and groundwater contamination.
The mineralization and nitrification was low under buckthorn. In the discussion, they were able to prove that the invasion in the woodlands was identified as a major stressor in the systems. Removing the invasive species can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Removing the invasive species, it can cause a flourish of the native species since the invasive have been taking over the system’s resources. Removing the native species can also damage the system because the system might already get use to the invasive species being there in the
Celina Bongar Mrs. Wenger AP English Language C-10 19 September 2011 Unppeal to Reserve Nature In the passage of Silent Springs, Rachel Carson aims to raise public awareness about the dangers of pesticides with the goal of bringing about safer and more environment-friendly pest-management practices. The first part of the article describes the effects of parathion as an “universal killer”, which not only educated the annoying birds but also unintentionally affected other forms of wildlife. The immediate effects of the chemicals were devastating as well as their long term effects on the farmers who were exposed to these pesticides. The author provided the readers with examples of incidents that occurred in Indiana and California
Reviewing all the data, both for and against Malathion pesticide it is clear to me why some of my constituents are voting for the use of the pesticide, while others are set against such a hazardous chemical being used in and around Genericville. Being a member of the city counsel and the last deciding vote, I have taken time to carefully consider both sides of this serious issue. While Malathion is known to work in aiding reduction in the spreading of the West Niles Virus (WNV) transmitted by mosquitoes, the proposed risk to the environment and the town people both long term and short term are too costly. With the use of this pesticide there are many unknown risk, thus contributing to my final decision to vote against Malathion use in Genericville.
This is not a minor issue - $1 million won't go very far," he said. "You can now forget about Kakadu. Kakadu is lost, we now have to try and protect areas further west like the Kimberleys." Inhabiting the Kakadu reserve is many rare and protected species and due to the cane toad’s ethnological significance, the voracious eating habits of the animal could result in serious destruction to the environment. The validity of this article is evident and provides an adequate evaluation of the current problem the Kakadu reserve is
More updated methods of accelerating decomposition have been introduced in more recent years, however, these liquids are still potentially leaking. Even state-of-the-art landfills contribute to massive pollution to groundwater. While grasses in the creek Royte describes, act as erosion control and natural filters and some organisms seemed to continue to thrive is such horrid conditions, the author mentions that she later learned that pollutants from the water were showing up in bird eggs and chicks and jeopardizing their long term
Me and Mitch worked together to guess the overall density of each of the plants in the square. We classified betugland, salex, moss, pyrola and carex in are survey. Im not sure as to how the plot we did would be classified in the Canadian wetland system but the problems we encountered were being able to survey in deeper water as well as working around such uneven terrain. Any human activity in a wetland can be seriously harmful and even irreversible. The Fen we looked at behind Copperridge biggest fear would be man kind putting more houses or trails around it, because wetlands are fragile
C. if not stopped over time the earth with slowly decay and changes in the environment will take place such as acid rain or water that’s become to toxic to drink plus animals will die from the trap like waste. D. we must as a species see that the mistake we are making isn’t necessarily a permit one but can be if action is not taken soon or swiftly. II. The Problem is caused by . .
