Responses to Drought and Flooding

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Microbial Bioremediation of Hydrocarbons

20
Bioremediation is an environmentally sustainable process that employs living organisms—primarily microorganisms—to degrade or neutralize pollutants from contaminated environments. In oil spills and hydrocarbon pollution, bioremediation involves the use of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria to transform toxic compounds into less harmful substances. This approach leverages natural microbial metabolic processes and is considered both cost-effective and ecologically favorable compared to...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

28.7K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Bioremediation

22.8K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Design Example: Design of an Irrigation Channel

1.0K
Trapezoidal channels are widely used in irrigation systems due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency in conveying water. Trapezoidal channels feature a flat bottom and sloping sides, making them stable and easier to construct compared to other shapes. The bottom width and side slope ratio are determined based on the required flow capacity and site conditions. The side slope is kept gentle for unlined channels to prevent soil erosion.Hydraulic parameters in channel design include the flow...

Microbial Classification System01:24

Microbial Classification System

1.6K
Classification is the process of organizing organisms into hierarchically inclusive groups based on their phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships. A species comprises one or more strains, and closely related species are grouped into genera. Genera are further classified into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so forth, up to the domain level, which is the broadest taxonomic rank derived from a combination of phenotypic and genotypic data.The nomenclature of...

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Environmental Science
  • Restoration Ecology

Background:

  • Mangrove forests provide critical ecosystem services but are threatened by degradation.
  • Restoration projects frequently fail due to inadequate consideration of hydrological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a robust methodology for determining hydrological suitability for mangrove species.
  • To guide mangrove restoration practices by identifying appropriate hydrological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Water levels and vegetation composition were measured across natural and disturbed (shrimp pond) sites in Southeast Asia.
  • Sites were classified into hydrological and vegetation classes based on inundation duration and species occurrence.
  • The methodology requires minimal data, including water levels over one lunar tidal cycle.

Main Results:

  • Natural sites showed a clear distribution of mangrove species according to hydrological classes (wet to dry).
  • Disturbed sites exhibited varied hydrological suitability, with some ready for establishment, some suitable but lacking vegetation, and others too wet.
  • Quantified hydrological impacts revealed that obstruction removal could have prevented past restoration failures.

Conclusions:

  • The developed hydrological classification is a simple, robust tool for assessing mangrove restoration potential.
  • It provides crucial information beyond elevation estimates for successful restoration and natural regeneration.
  • Recommendations are provided to enhance the effectiveness of future mangrove restoration initiatives.
