Tropical ecosystems undergo changes caused by season, climate or multiple anthropogenic impacts. Such changes may cause gradual or rapid shifts from one state to another. There has been a focus on functional classifications of plants to find tools for monitoring and assessing species status in ...
Desert ecosystems are found in regions receiving an annual rainfall of less than 25cm. They occupy around 17 percent of all land on the planet. Due to very high temperature, intense sunlight and low water availability, flora and fauna are very poorly developed and scarce. Vegetation is mainly ...
There are three different types of ecosystems: natural ecosystems, man-made ecosystems, and micro-ecosystems. This article describes the characteristics of an ecosystem, subcategories for each type of ecosystem, and examples with illustrations.

The component also depends upon the type of ecosystem. For example, Rainfall contributes to tropical rainforest ecosystems, sand in desert ecosystems and water, salinity, ocean currents, pressure in the marine ecosystem. All the factors are interrelated to each other. ...

Furthermore, dams built on parts of the river have caused drastic decreases in population numbers while heavy pollution has made matters even worse for these creatures who need clean freshwater ecosystems for survival! 3 Largest Animals in China Wild yaks are one of the biggest animals to see ...
What they do: Study organisms and ecosystems in the ocean and other saltwater environments Average base salary: $60,000 per year Marine biologists keep a close eye on organisms living in the ocean. They analyze the behaviors or physiology of a specific population and assess the condition of hab...
Phytoremediation, i.e., the use of plants to remove contaminants from soil, has been proposed for treatment of Cd-contaminated ecosystems. In this study, we demonstrated the potential of Vetiveria zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver, to serve as an effective phytoremediation agent. Two eco...
