The effects of varying amounts of pumice were tested on the embryos and larvae of Acropora digitifera , a dominant shallow-water corymbose coral species. Our results, based on larval morphology and survival, in
Drugs of abuse (e.g., cocaine, opiates) trigger the initial acute-reward effect, lead to adaptive changes in the brain function following administration [1,2,3], and produce unpleasant physical and negative effects, including dysphoria, depression, irritability, and anxiety after the termination o...
Neutrophils are the major leukocytes in the human immune system, and their role in tumors has been underestimated due to their short lifespan and clear antibacterial ability. However, in recent years, studies have confirmed that neutrophils have prolonged lives in the presence of tumors16. Neutrophi...

Effects of Water Pollution Pollutants in water resulting from trash, oil spills, sewage spills and run-off from agricultural fields, construction sites and factories affect native plant and animal species. Drinking contaminated water caused by sewage overflow may cause sickness and digestive problems in...
Our results point to a probable shift of interspecific relationships in response to water shortage. As drought impacts are not mediated in low-diversity communities, species-specific responses to drier conditions could lead to shifts in plant community composition favouring the most drought-resistant ...
The Negative Effects Of Ocean Acidification The first major effect that Ocean Acidification has is the reduction of pH levels in the ocean. PH is very important in this case because it generally determines how acidic water is. The normal pH balance of water is 7. When Ocean Acidification occur...
but 90% of those living in extreme poverty depend on them for at least part of their livelihood. Many forms of recreation and tourism also rely on forests. Based on some estimates,the economic valueof the forest’s ecosystem services could be as high as $16.2 trillion every year. The tota...
So even diet sodas and other sugar-free carbonated beverages can lead to cavities. Children’s teeth are especially vulnerable to acid erosion and tooth decay as they have thinner tooth enamel than adults. Here’s how to limit the effects Choose other drinks such as water, unsweetened tea ...
of N and P which may ultimately lead to net immobilization and a reduction of available nutrients in the soil (Damon et al.2014). In some situations, this may have positive benefits as it may reduce NO3−leaching; however, this effect is not always observed (Doring et al.2005; Hansen ...
