However, how soil enzyme activity and microbial nutrient limitation will be modified by grassland degradation is not well understood, especially in the saline‐alkaline meadow. Here, we presented how soil enzyme activity and microbial nutrient limitation shifted along a well‐characterized gradient of ...
Interestingly, the very issues that innovative farming techniques are meant to fix, such as declining biodiversity, waste, pollution and soil degradation, are among the issues that consumers fear may be exacerbated by new farming practices. This emphasizes the need for clear communication regarding ...
Erosion can also be prevented by enhancing vegetation recovery, through seeding (Peppin et al., 2010) and/or the application of fertilizers although not very common (Robichaud et al., 2006). Finally, soil chemical improvers such as polyacrylamides (PAM) have also been tested in burned areas ...
CThere has been a tremendous deal of publicity on how severe desertification can be, but the academic circle has never agreed on the causes of desertification. A common misunderstanding is that a shortage of precipitation causes the desertification—even the land in some barren areas will soon rec...
It’s undeniably true, however, that sheep breeding can cause soil degradation and other types of land damage. Fecal matter from sheep can also pollute waterways, and the toxic chemical “sheep dip,” which is used to kill parasites, often overflows into the surrounding environment. ...
They can be found in the air, in the soil, and in water. Some bacteria live in the human body and can cause disease. Lots More Information Author's Note: How Bacteria Work Despite their status as "mindless" microbes, bacteria behave in amazing ways. Give them an obstacle, and they ...
“Research has demonstrated a positive effect on the modulation of OA symptoms through diet and exercise to promote an anti-inflammatory environment. More specifically, omega-3 PUFAs have demonstrated a reduction in inflammatory biomarkers and cartilage degradation, counteracting the natural disease state...
A new approach to waste management could help villages in rural India cut indoor air pollution, improve soil health, and generate clean power, researchers say.
How does afforestation prevent soil erosion? How does deposition create a floodplain? How can beach erosion be prevented? Why does deforestation lead to soil erosion? How does monoculture cause soil erosion? How does land degradation occur? How does coastal erosion affect coastlines? How do ore mi...
How can irrigation contribute to soil degradation? Why does thermal pollution and nitrate pollution cause eutrophication? How is shifting agriculture done? What is the ecological impact of eutrophication on aquatic ecosystems? What effect can fertilizer runoff have on an aquatic ecosystem? How do federa...
