Watershed approach
This document discusses watershed concepts for land management. It defines a watershed as a land area that drains water to a common location like a stream or river. It notes that watersheds are naturally occurring delineations that are nested in a hierarchical structure and can be mapped. Watersheds integrate physical, chemical, and biological properties from land, air, and water through interconnected stream networks. Properly functioning watersheds sustain natural processes and provide ecosystem services like clean water, flood control, food/materials, and recreation. Examples are given showing how watershed impacts can be seen in water chemistry, temperature, and trout biomass.

Aboveground growth responds more to P than N
1. A study examined how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation affects aboveground growth in northern hardwood forests of different ages.
2. The study applied N, P, and N+P fertilizer treatments to young, mid-age, and mature forest stands over 5 years and measured tree growth responses.
3. The results showed that aboveground growth responded more to P fertilization in mid-age and mature forests, while growth in young forests responded more to N fertilization, indicating that P limits older stands while N limits younger stands.
How My Roots Have Shaped My Life
- The document discusses how the speaker's roots with the sea shaped their life path, leading them to study ocean acidification (OA) and its impacts.
- Their Watson Fellowship involved traveling to sites around the world to understand how OA may affect human communities dependent on ocean resources. They found OA could threaten industries like scallop fishing in Peru.
- The speaker learned that all communities have relationships with their environments and that problems often emerge from unhealthy relationships that enable unsustainable practices.
- Going forward, they see opportunities in fields that can help build healthier human-environment relationships and address issues like OA.
What is co-limitation, really?
This document discusses co-limitation of nitrogen and phosphorus in northern hardwood forests. It summarizes previous research showing N and P co-limitation based on fertilization studies. Co-limitation is defined as a larger productivity response to adding N and P together versus individually. The project aims to determine if northern hardwood forests are co-limited by N and P, and if soil nutrient interactions contribute to any co-limitation. Studies are being conducted at multiple sites testing the effects of N, P, and N+P additions on tree growth and soil nutrients. Preliminary results suggest forests are mostly P-limited, but N and P interactions could induce sequential limitations over time through microbial uptake effects.
Rl 4
River-Lab is an environmental education program that teaches students in grades 3-6 about river basin systems and the environment. Students learn about topics like the water cycle, groundwater systems, and human impacts on the environment. Classroom lessons are reinforced with outdoor field trips where students explore local estuaries and wetlands. The program aims to develop students' understanding of environmental science and encourage stewardship of natural resources.
Water color
The document discusses factors that affect the color of water. It notes that clean water is necessary for human society and that groundwater generally has better quality than surface water, though many people use surface water sources. It then explains that lakes and oceans appear blue due to several reasons, including the water's intrinsic molecular structure which gives it a blue color. Other factors like particles in water that can absorb, scatter, or reflect light can also impact the perceived water color. Algae in rivers and streams may lend a greenish hue, while glacial flour in mountain lakes and streams can make the water appear turquoise.
Egy unesco 2014_05_06
This document discusses managing groundwater in coastal areas of Greece. Coastal areas are significant due to urban development, tourism, important wetlands, and agricultural activities. Groundwater in coastal areas is important as a source of drinking water, for supporting wetlands, and as a source of water for agriculture. However, exploitation of groundwater has often been unsustainable, resulting in saline water intrusion, unsuitable water quality, stress on wetlands, and additional pollution. Sustainable management of groundwater resources is imperative. The Water Framework Directive establishes integrated management of surface and groundwater resources and requires developing river basin management plans to achieve good water status. Key challenges include a lack of borehole data and slow groundwater recovery from pollution and saline

L1 ap physical factors
Despite water making up only 0.02% of the Earth's mass, it is essential for life. The physical factors that control the global water supply are climate, river systems, geology, and seasonality. Climate and seasonal precipitation patterns lead to imbalances in water availability and use. Fresh water supply is also finite each year, making it a limited resource.

Diktas athens 2014
The document discusses the DIKTAS project, which aims to protect and sustainably manage the Dinaric Karst Transboundary Aquifer System. The aquifer system is shared by multiple countries in the Mediterranean region. Over-exploitation and pollution threaten the groundwater resources and dependent ecosystems. The objectives of the DIKTAS project are to develop cooperation mechanisms among countries to ensure sustainable use of the shared groundwater resources and protect unique groundwater ecosystems. The project components include improving understanding of the aquifer system, establishing cooperation among countries, facilitating policy harmonization, and stakeholder participation. A Strategic Action Program will be developed through a cooperative process to identify priorities and reforms to address transboundary water issues.
Living in a Turbulent World
Paul Webb and Aline Cotel: research focuses on water currents in aquatic habitats, and the effects of water turbulence.
Factors That Affect Aquatic Habitats
Factors that affect aquatic ecosystems include water flow rate, salinity, acidity, oxygen, light levels, depth, and temperature.
Nitrogen, phosphorus and fine roots
Tim Fahey discusses fine root biomass responses to nutrient additions. Adding both nitrogen and phosphorus causes a large increase in fine root biomass in young tree stands, likely because new root growth is colimited by both nutrients. While increased soil fertility may generally decrease belowground carbon allocation and fine root biomass, nitrogen-phosphorus colimitation could stimulate increased fine root biomass if only one nutrient is added. The presentation acknowledges contributions from the shoestring research team including Alexis Heinz, Shiyi, and Geoff Wilson.

Environmental education
This document discusses the importance of environmental education and sustainable development. It makes three key points:
1) Current environmental problems like pollution, natural disasters, and climate change threaten our natural resources and future generations unless consumption is reduced.
2) While science and technology can help manage environmental impacts, fundamental changes in societal attitudes and moral education are needed to achieve sustainability.
3) Environmental education curricula must go beyond teaching facts to promote hands-on learning and responsible environmental behavior starting from a young age. It should emphasize reducing consumption to safeguard resources for the future.
