When these pesticides get into water bodies they cause “eutrophication” which is the growth of excess algae in the water . These algae tend to compete with the living aquatic organisms in the water bodies for the available oxygen resulting to the death of some aquatic organisms. POPs do not readily break down; they pollute the air‚ soil‚ rivers and

In addition‚ a fungus known as mycorrhizae will develop within the roots of this plant and eventually undergo symbioses. Fortunately‚ these mycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic relationships; which will enable the plant to absorb a sufficient amount of water‚ consume nutrients from the soil‚ and prevent pathogens from harming the roots.

Site Investigation Site Investigation is the gathering of information about the proposed location of the construction project. The reason for this can be twofold‚ firstly to assist in the location of the project and secondly to ascertain ground conditions. A site investigation should be taken for every site. Without a properly procured‚ supervised and interpreted site investigation‚ hazards which lie beneath the site cannot be known. A site investigation is made

Salt marshes store enormous quantities of carbon‚ essential to plant productivity‚ by‚ in essence‚ breathing in the atmospheric carbon and then using it to grow‚ flourish and increase the height of the soil. Even as the grasses die‚ the carbon remains trapped in the sediment. Salt marshes can be extremely difficult places to live

Salt comes in many forms in the natural environment—calcium‚ magnesium‚ carbonate‚ sodium chloride‚ bicarbonate‚ and sulphate. Many landscapes are naturally saline‚ but secondary salinity isn’t so natural‚ occurring when salts from deep within the earth are dissolved and deposited into soil and water as a result of human activity. This can happen in one of two
