Summary 1. Invertebrate bioturbation can strongly affect water‐sediment exchanges in aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study was to quantify the influence invertebrates on physical characteristics an infiltration system clogged with fine sediment. 2. Two taxa (chironomids and tubificids) different activities were studied experimental slow columns filled sand gravel a 2 cm layer sediment at surface. We measured effects each taxon separately combined hydraulic head, water mobility...
The mixing of 210 Pb and tagged particles is examined in a lattice-automaton model for bioturbation containing small deposit feeders. values the biodiffusion coefe cient, D B, calculated using typical biological parameter values, i.e., size, abundance, feeding locomotion rates, are similar to those expected from marine sediments given sedimentation rate. Most parameters appear exert primarily linear effects on B while most nonlinearities seem be artifacts or failures assumptions basic DB...
The present article questions the relative importance of local- and large-scale processes on long-term dynamics fire in subalpine belt western Alps. study is based soil charcoal dating identification, several sites contrasting environmental conditions, sampling along elevation gradient each site. Based local differences biomass combustion, we hypothesize that local-scale or landscape-scale have driven history, while combustion homogeneity supports hypothesis macro-ecological processes,...
Coral reefs are vulnerable ecosystems where a great number of fish species live. Some beautiful, and some not. This study compared the human perception beauty with ecological roles characteristics these fishes. It appears that ugly have wider variety in coral reef ecosystem than beautiful do. means seem to be more important for ecosystems. The results this warn us about need preserve not just cute fishes, but entire ecosystem, which protecting as well ones.
Sometimes the waters of seas, rivers, or lakes turn an odd color, becoming brown, red, green. These colors are actually those tiny algae that invisible to naked eye—but reproducing so fast they stain water. events called algal blooms, and can be harmful because produce toxins kill aquatic animals cause poisoning in humans. Our group investigated blooms have been occurring regularly Lampung Bay, Indonesia, since 2012. We tracked down species responsible for these by analyzing seawater seabed...
Most older methods of fish farming, or aquaculture, have focused on growing only a single species sea life, for example, salmon. Modern aquaculture systems involve the cultivation two more together, based what happens normally in food chain, so that one can provide source another farm. This article describes results an experiment combining culture with algae and oyster culture. We show grow using waste, oysters eat to produce good-quality, healthy food, which reduces pollution generated by...
Sea turtles around the world are threatened with extinction, largely due to human activities. To better protect sea turtles, we need improve our understanding of activities that threaten them. However, often do not know cause turtle deaths, making it difficult help This is case in Chesapeake Bay, USA, where hundreds dead found washed up on beaches each year. In this study, researchers investigated these events, known as strandings, understand why region dying. First, they carried out...
In summer, TV and newspapers often broadcast impressive views of wildfires in Mediterranean forests. These fires are commonly seen as threats to people, their homes, property. However, what if necessary sustain the health some forest plants? Might plants even need wildfires? Scientists studied this strange issue by examining types amounts plant species that exist after wildfires. The results were surprising. highest biodiversity flowering was found right a wildfire. older forest, more trees...
Large land and ocean mammals, like elephants whales, play essential roles in the environment but are severely threatened by human activities. Images taken from planes can be used to spot these animals air. However, species difficult observe because they rare move a lot, so unfortunately there not many images collected that contain species. Fortunately, however, people share photos videos of large on social networks attractive. These have been researchers train computer program recognize an...
Abstract Background: The present article questions the relative importance of local- and large-scale processes on long-term dynamics fire in subalpine belt western Alps. study is based soil charcoal dating identification, several sites contrasting environmental conditions, sampling along elevation gradient each site. Based local differences biomass combustion, we hypothesize that local-scale have driven history, while combustion homogeneity supports hypothesis processes, especially climate....
