Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy. Plants in the marsh are also effective

tigers in their natural habitats and also to protect them from extinction‚ and preserving areas of biological importance as a natural heritage forever represented as close as possible the diversity of ecosystems across the tiger ’s distribution in the country. The project ’s task force visualized these tiger reserves as breeding nuclei‚ from which surplus animals would migrate to adjacent forests. Funds and commitment were mastered to support the intensive program of habitat protection and rehabilitation

Polar bears have adapted to be able to live in the water and on land. Unlike other bear species‚ the polar bear are excellent swimmers‚ and have been spotted more than 100 miles away from land or ice. The polar bear habitat is that of the entire Arctic region. Life cycle: Female polar bears reach sexual maturity at about four

If asked to define a freshwater habitat‚ we would almost immediately think of water and fishes. While it is true that those two components usually dominate- they are most evident there- a freshwater habitat is in fact a community of not just plants and animals‚ but of microorganisms as well. Also‚ not forgetting in the mix the non-living‚ biotic and components like soil‚ climate and water. Include all of that along with the complex interrelationships among the organisms and the environment‚ and we

Save the tigers Someday‚ we may never see tigers again because tigers are on the critically endangered list‚ which is why the National Zoo was celebrating Global Tiger Day. This is happening because of poaching and habitat changes. Large plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries. Tigers occupy only around 7 percent of their historic range. The current wild tiger population is at as few as 3‚200 tigers‚ including only about 400 Sumatran tigers‚ which are listed

-Bioremediation is the use of micro-organism metabolism to remove pollutants. Technologies can be generally classified as in situ or ex situ. In situ bioremediation involves treating the contaminated material at the site‚ while ex situ involves the removal of the contaminated material to be treated elsewhere. Bioremediation can occur on its own (natural attenuation or intrinsic bioremediation) or can be spurred on via the addition of fertilizers to increase the bioavailability within the medium (biostimulation)

The growing rate of extinction can be reversed‚ but we‚ as humans‚ must first realize that it is important to stop the main causes of extinction: exploitation and disturbance‚ global climate change and pollution‚ and most importantly‚ habitat destruction.

During these barbarous acts‚ the gladiators were thrown into a blood-stained coliseum‚ where they were forced to

In accordance with these necessities‚ there are a number of survival techniques used by organisms in this kingdom. These techniques can fall within the category of adaptations‚ which help these organisms adapt to various habitats. This kingdom falls in the domain Eukaryota‚ and there are nearly 40 different phyla
