The typical hydraulic regime and flow characteristics of each reservoir were other key factors considered during criteria development. The relationship between water quality‚ biomass accumulation‚ and hydraulic residence time (or retention time)‚ which is the average amount of time required to completely renew a reservoir’s water volume‚ was taken into account when establishing the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic

Population Ecology: Clover Distribution and Density Method This lab consisted of the use of various materials. We used four orange flags in order to mark a 30x15m sampling area in which we collected our data from. To measure out the area‚ we used a thirty meter measuring tape and to determine the density (plants per meter squared) of clovers in the lawn‚ we calculated the total area of the plot (30x15meters squared). For this lab‚ a frisbee was used with the area of .053 meters squared as the

Anthony Dove 72196 Introduction to New Zealand Ecology Assignment 1 Task 1 Ecology Ecology is the study of ecosystems and environment. The first definition of ecology was provided by the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel describes ecology as – ’The body of knowledge concerning the economy of nature - the total relations of the animal to both its inorganic and organic environment. ’(History of Ecology‚(n.d.)). A more complete and modern definition is given by

Theories: unifying explanations of the natural world Proximate questions: deal with mechanisms. Don’t always need evolutionary explanations Ultimate questions: concerned with evolutionary origins and functions Induction: inference of general law from observations Hypothesis: possible explanation for observation Carolus Linnaeus: binomial nomenclature Nomenclature: system of rules for naming things Taxonomy: naming and classifying organisms Systematics: theory and practice of classifying organisms
