Does bioaccumulation of pollutants by aquatic plants increase (or decrease) by sediment bioturbation under benthic invertebrate activity? Oligochetes tubificidae‚ famous invertebrate worms‚ was used as an active ecological engineer and biotubartion source. Biological sediment reworking generated by this invertebrates activity will be quantified using luminophores‚ inert particulate and dissolved tracers. One aquatic plant species‚ Typha latifolia was set in the aquarium and selected to accurately phyto-accumulate

Entomology: The Study of Insects and their Relatives Insects and their terrestrial relatives belong to the phylum called Arthropoda and have inhabited the earth for an extensive time.

By the Age of Dinosaurs‚ 300 million years ago‚ insects were abundant in number and diversity. Like the dinosaurs‚ some pre-historic forms of insects were

Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be

Discussion In terms of the relative wildness maps ability to help identify suitable areas of rewilding‚ its benefits are limited. It helps identify the perceived wildest areas but the idea of rewilding is to improve areas that are not already ‘wild’ to benefit biodiversity. The idea of rewilding also has so much more factors than just the current wildness of the landscape as shown in the second part of the study.
