Other factors besides private income also bear on access, such as the provision of public and merit goods and the ‘free’ services from nature (nature’s contributions to people), such as clean air, potable water, building materials, healthy soils, vital pollinators and a stable climate. The...
The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has developed a minimum flows and levels (MFLs) method that has been applied to rivers, lakes, wetla
Using parallel measurements of oxygen consumption rates and 15N-nitrite oxidation rates applied to both water column profiles and oxygen manipulation experiments, we show that the contribution of nitrite oxidation to overall DO consumption systematically increases as DO declines below 2 µM. Nitrite ...
In Toronto at the start of the outdoor swimming season last summer, the city had only secured two-thirds of the lifeguards it needed. It also had to cancel 169 swim courses because it could not find enough instructors. Other municipalities and provinces also reported shortages. ...
whether or not to include the energy required to compensate for environmental impacts in the future e.g. for the fertilizer needed to restore soil fertility for the significant soil erosion occasioned by corn production). Such arguments are likely to be much more important in the future as ...
The term “oxygen minimum layer” is sometimes used to refer to mid-water layers, exhibiting reduced oxygen relative to waters above and below. Such layers are ubiquitous in the global ocean due to isolation from sources of oxygenation, but often do not reach hypoxic levels. For example, in ...
For anyone who uses their iPhone camera for close-up photography--food and flowers are generally my subjects--the significantly greater distance now needed to focus with the 12 Pro Max makes the camera system near useless for that kind of shooting. What's ironic is how excited I was for ...
To determine MIC by dilution methods, antibiotics are also needed in a substance that require preliminary dissolution to obtain a stock solution and then dilution to obtain an appropriate starting concentration. For most antibiotics, water is both a solvent and a diluter, including for most beta-...

Amend clay soil with organic matter to improve drainage. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once established, these plants are fairly drought-tolerant. Wear and Tear: Even though these are tough plants, very heavy foot traffic can cause some ...
