The elemental ratios of marine phytoplankton and organic matter vary widely across ocean biomes, according to a catalogue of biogeochemical data, suggesting that climate change may have complex effects on the ocean鈥檚 elemental cycles.TimDepartmentDeVries...
The majority of soils are acidic and low in nutrients. Most of the well-drained soils are classified as podzols or luvisols. Almost all the cultivable soils havemoderateto severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices. ...
Located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and relatively far from neighbouring islands, New Caledonia includes a large exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of ~1,300,000 km2(Fig.4.1). The EEZ is bounded in the West by the Australian continental shelf, by the Solomon Islands and by Vanuatu in the ...
Stressed vines grow deep root systems in search of water and nutrients and produce high-quality berries to ensure the propagation of their species. The climate is influenced heavily by the ocean that makes up the northern and eastern boundaries of the region. Intense sunlight during the day is ...
Drinking unpasteurized nutrients from a wrinkled cow udder. We have no problem with being more environmentally friendly and knowing where our food comes from. But we do have a problem with dying and diarrhea from E. coli. Virginia -- Brunswick Stew ...
Coral bleaching occurs when the animals become overly stressed by changes in temperature, light or nutrients. When that happens, the corals expel the algae that reside within their tissues, leaving them with a white color, or as NOAA says, "bleached and vulnerable." Bleached corals are not nec...
Cancer, ranked as the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, leads to the death of approximately seven million people annually, establishing itself as one of the most significant health challenges globally. The discovery and identification of new a
An oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and brought more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales. Whales 8 were able to quickly eat a lot of food survived, and got 9 (large). Over the next three or four million years, the blue whales grew 10 times bigger than they ...
Particle-laden gravity flows, called turbidity currents, flow through river-like channels across the ocean floor. These submarine channels funnel sediment, nutrients, pollutants and organic carbon into ocean basins and can extend for over 1000’s of kilometers. Upon reaching the end of these channel...
She is currently following three main directions in her research: (1) Developing and applying Lagrangian tools to analyze ocean circulation and transport; (2) Investigating data assimilation methods (for paleoclimate reconstruction, e.g., and for Lagrangian observations); (3) Studying sea ice in th...
