Chemical monitoring and management assists in providing safe water for human use and to protect the habitats of other organisms Identify that water quality can be determined by considering: * concentrations of common ions * total dissolved solids * hardness * turbidity * acidity * dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand Water quality is commonly defined by its physical‚ chemical‚ biological and aesthetic (appearance and

The Arctic Tundra ecosystem Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere‚ encircling the North Pole and extending south to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic is known for its cold‚ desert-like conditions. All of the plants are adapted to sweeping winds and disturbances of the soil. Plants are short and group together to resist the cold temperatures and are protected by the snow during the winter. They can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities

The Impact of Microorganisms on Human Affairs What is microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The word micro means small in Greek‚ implying that microbes are very minute or small life forms that cannot be seen with just the naked eye. One would need a microscope to see these small life forms. Microbes are everywhere and have a large impact on the world. It all started when one of the most important discoveries in history was made in 1665. Englishman‚ Robert Hooke

As biodiversity declines‚ the causes have become evident: habitat destruction‚ pollution and overexploitation. Humans have had a huge role in the decline in biodiversity‚ and a perfect example is coral reefs who fell victim to overharvesting‚ pollution‚ and global warming. With the coral reef being home to one-third of fish species‚ humans have severely impacted the fish species by destroying their homes. Overexploitation is a huge risk‚ and this became very evident when the wolf population in Yellowstone

a Forest Ecosystem? Forests are important ecosystems that provide environmental and economic benefits. Forest ecosystems are unique environments and are categorized based on the types and ages of trees‚ climate and soil. They impact the environment at scales ranging from local to regional‚ by influencing climate‚ nutrient dynamics and water movement. Forests are found all over the world‚ and they provide valuable economic and environmental services. Information About a Forest Ecosystem A forest

Greenhouse Effect And Ecosystem Environment plays an important role in human life. Nowadays‚ people are trying to take care of this environment‚ to ensure the prosperity and happiness of their life . Environment or ecosystem is the interaction and interface between living things (biotic) and non-living (a biotic) in nature. Biotic component includes all kinds of living creatures such as humans‚ animals‚ plants and micro organisms. Whereas a biotic components include non-living components such

components in the ecosystem such as air‚ water‚ soil‚ temperature and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living components in the ecosystem such as animals and plants. In an ecosystem‚ the living organisms live together in their non-living environment and function as a unit. This dynamic system starts with species‚ populations‚ ecosystems‚ communities and biosphere. A species is a group of organisms that look alike and have similar characteristics‚ share the same roles in an ecosystem and are capable
