Proyecto dinámicas biológicas de los fragmentos de bosques - Thomas Lovejoy
The document discusses the threats posed by climate change to tropical forests and biodiversity. It notes that 20% of annual greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation. The warming climate has led to increased bark beetle outbreaks and range shifts of species. A CO2 target of 450ppm is considered too high and 350ppm is proposed as a safer level. Adaptation and limiting greenhouse gas concentrations through reducing emissions and deforestation are recommended approaches. Restoring ecosystems can help lower atmospheric CO2 levels.

Balance in nature
Balance in nature occurs when there are interactions between organisms and the environment that maintain ecosystems at an optimal level. Key natural cycles that help maintain this balance include the nitrogen cycle, water cycle, and carbon cycle. The carbon cycle involves carbon dioxide being used by plants for photosynthesis and later released by animals through respiration, burning, and decomposition. The water cycle involves water being used by plants and animals and later released back into the atmosphere through transpiration and respiration. A food chain shows the relationship of energy transfer from producers to consumers.
Global environment change
Global environmental change refers to identifiable changes in Earth's climate that last for decades or longer, usually due to human activities. Some effects of environmental change include rising global temperatures over the last century, melting polar ice and glaciers, and changes in animal habitats and migration patterns. The main contributors to environmental change are electricity and heat production, agriculture, forestry, and other land use, transportation, and industry. The components of change include increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, climate change, decreased stratospheric ozone, land use change, and loss of biodiversity. Reversing these changes would take decades to millennia depending on the component.
Addicted to Convenience
Is it smart to generate power at any cost, or are we sacrificing our organics to feed an energy addiction when composting makes more economic and environmental sense?
Ocean and climate change
The document discusses how the oceans are being impacted by climate change. It notes that 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions is trapped in the oceans. It also discusses how ocean temperatures and acidification have increased substantially over the past century due to carbon emissions. This is negatively impacting marine species distribution, coral reefs, and primary production. Migration patterns of some species like whales and fish are changing in response to warmer waters.
Changing climate
Changes in the environment due to climate change are negatively impacting biodiversity. As the planet warms due to greenhouse gas emissions, species are becoming extinct or threatened. In the Arctic, loss of sea ice is eliminating habitats for species adapted to live on or under ice. Ocean warming is causing acidification, reducing calcium carbonate needed for shells. Climate change is also projected to cause the extinction of 20% of the world's lizard species by 2080. Monitoring of arthropods can provide early warnings of ecological changes due to impacts like decreased decomposition and increased herbivory.

Below the plow layer -- deep soil carbon storage
It may be called carbon "farming," but deep soil carbon sequestration can be achieved on the farm and beyond.
Bankston Poster
Mangrove forests play an important role in climate change mitigation by sequestering large amounts of carbon. Deforestation of mangroves releases 0.02-0.12 petagrams of carbon into the atmosphere annually, accounting for around 10% of global emissions despite mangroves only covering 0.7% of tropical forests. Mangroves sequester about 100 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare both above and below ground. Their sediment acts as an important carbon reservoir, storing carbon to a depth of 3-4 meters. Restoring mangrove forests could help remove carbon from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change.
Vegetation
Vegetation refers to plant life and is the most abundant biotic element on Earth. It serves critical functions by regulating biogeochemical cycles, affecting soil characteristics, and providing habitat and energy for wildlife. Vegetation is also important for the global economy through production of resources and as a primary source of oxygen in the atmosphere, enabling aerobic life.
Carbon cycle and global concerns on environment
Carbon is the primary building block of life and cycles through different carbon pools in the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The global carbon cycle involves fluxes of carbon between these pools through natural processes like photosynthesis, respiration, and geological processes. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have significantly increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, disrupting the natural carbon cycle and causing global climate change. Rising global temperatures will lead to problems like rising sea levels, food shortages, and threats to biodiversity.
Ecosystems
An ecosystem is defined as the living and non-living components in an environment that interact within a specific area. There are many common ecosystem types including savannas, coral reefs, urban areas, deserts, oceans, forests, prairies, rainforests, and tundra. Ecosystems work through the flow of energy and nutrients between organisms in a food chain or food web. However, ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and overexploitation of natural resources.
LS 2 13 Balance in Nature
This document discusses various topics relating to balance in nature and man's impact on the environment. It begins by defining key terms like biotic and abiotic factors, ecosystems, food chains, and the water and carbon cycles. It then discusses different types of pollution like air, water, land, and noise pollution. Specific human activities that can cause pollution and disrupt ecosystems are mentioned, such as deforestation, mining, improper waste disposal, and the use of pesticides. The document also covers population growth and its effects on resource demand. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance in nature.
Hb2015 sadutto-calcium
Tyler Sadutto conducted a study to understand how the addition of CaSiO3 affects soil respiration. The objectives were to measure total soil respiration, fine root production, and microbial respiration in calcium and control plots. Total soil respiration was measured every two weeks using a LI-COR 8100 and soil collars. Fine root production was measured using root screens over three weeks. Microbial respiration was measured using a base trap method on soil samples from each plot. The expected results were a decrease in fine root production, microbial respiration, and overall total soil respiration with the addition of CaSiO3.
Global Carbon Cycle And Global Change
The document discusses how humans have altered the global carbon cycle through burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and burning trees. Burning fossil fuels increases the rate of carbon moving from rocks to the atmosphere. Deforestation and burning trees decreases the rate of carbon moving from the atmosphere to living organisms. This has increased the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas that absorbs and reradiates infrared radiation, contributing to global climate change. The Mauna Loa curve shows increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere since the 1950s.
Care about earth project ppt
The document discusses various ways to save the Earth from environmental problems. It emphasizes the importance of protecting trees, water resources, and biodiversity to ensure a livable planet. Specific actions mentioned include planting more trees, using renewable resources like solar energy, reducing air and water pollution, and stopping practices that endanger wildlife such as hunting animals. The overall message is that humanity must address issues like global warming, water scarcity, and species extinction to preserve the Earth for future generations.
Fire water-air-earth as renewable energy in Greece
The ancient Greeks believed the four basic elements were earth, water, air, and fire. Fire has benefits like cooking and heat but also hazards. Solar energy can heat and power homes through technologies that save money and reduce pollution. Greece started developing solar power in 2006 with incentives, and it has been proposed as a way to help Greece's debt issues. The earth contains rocks and minerals that provide soil for life. Geothermal energy comes from heat within the earth, while biomass energy comes from plants. Water sustains life and the planet, existing as liquid, solid and gas. Hydropower harnesses the energy of falling or running water. Air suitable for life is found in earth's troposphere and artificial atmosph
Land use, land use change & forestry
LULUCF stands for Land use, land-use change and forestry. It refers to greenhouse gas emissions and removals from human activities involving land, including changing between crop and, forest and grassland uses. Plants and soils naturally absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as carbon storage, acting as greenhouse gas sinks. Emissions or storage of CO2 can occur as land uses change, such as converting forests to cropland. Reducing emissions in LULUCF includes changing land uses to increase carbon storage or improving land management practices to maintain existing carbon storage. Accounting of LULUCF activities must be based on sound science and consistent methodologies over time.
Anthropogenic Impact Cause, Effect and Cure
Over the past 5000 years, human activity has reduced the total biomass on Earth to less than half of what it was in the preceding 500,000 years. This 50% reduction in biomass has major implications for climate change that have been overlooked in climate models. However, restoring just 15% of the lost biomass through large-scale reforestation and restoration efforts could pull enough carbon from the atmosphere to return carbon dioxide levels to pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm.
Regrowing biomass to controal climate change
Over the past 5000 years, human activity has reduced the total biomass on Earth to less than half of what existed in the prior 500,000 years. This 50% reduction in biomass has been largely overlooked in climate models, increasing our exposure to climate change while also pointing to restoring biomass as a solution. Restoring only around 15% of the lost biomass through reforestation and other means could pull enough carbon from the atmosphere to return carbon dioxide levels to around 280 ppm.
global warming ip1 finished
This document discusses the issue of global warming and whether it is fact or fiction. It provides background on global warming, including its definition as changing weather patterns caused by increased CO2 trapping heat. Evidence for both sides of the debate is presented, with some scientists arguing it is occurring and others saying natural climate changes are normal. Potential causes of global warming discussed include pollution from factories, drilling, mining, and chemical runoff. The document also examines historical perspectives and the views of native tribes on climate patterns.
My role in maintaining balance of nature
1) The document discusses the ecosystem of Barangay Valenzuela and some of the interactions between living and non-living things in the environment.
2) Improper garbage disposal and the presence of junk shops containing used oils and chemicals are polluting the soil and could block drainage during storms.
3) Residents need to clean up the area, segregate waste, and plant more plants to help prevent environmental damage and restore balance to the local ecosystem.
Environmental balance
Biodiversity refers to the variety of living things found in different environments like mountains, water, and as microorganisms. Scientists have studied this variety over long periods. The environment consists of interconnected living and nonliving things like sunlight, air, water, soil, plants, and animals. There are many food chains in nature, with producers like plants using sunlight to make food, which is then eaten by herbivores, and subsequently carnivores, with each organism fulfilling a link. Multiple overlapping food chains make up a food web. Plants play a key role in nature by using sunlight, water and air to produce food that animals then eat. Decomposition of plant and animal residues by microorganisms returns nutrients to the soil

This document discusses using earth observation techniques and data analytics to monitor peatland restoration efforts in the UK. Peatlands are currently a large source of greenhouse gases but restoration could make them a net sink. Satellite data on factors like land surface temperature, albedo and soil moisture could be analyzed to see if restored peatlands are functioning properly and improving over time. The results would be provided to users like conservation agencies to help target restoration efforts and assure they are effective in reducing emissions and improving peatland health. Expertise in data analysis, machine learning and platform development is needed to develop this automated monitoring system.
EO talent worrall
This document discusses using remote sensing techniques to monitor peatland restoration efforts. It notes that peatlands in the UK are currently greenhouse gas sources but could be sinks if restored. Several restoration projects have been undertaken but it is unknown how effective they have been. The document proposes using satellite data on factors like land surface temperature, albedo, and soil moisture to track the effects of restoration over time. A case study in Thorne Moors found that restored peatland areas were up to 2 degrees Celsius cooler than surrounding land, indicating restoration success. For monitoring to be effective, the appropriate data sources and analytical techniques need to be identified and automated.
Biology - Chp 6 - Humans In The Biosphere - PowerPoint
Human activities can affect the biosphere by altering habitats, overharvesting resources, and polluting the environment. Resources are either renewable like forests and fisheries, which can replenish if sustainably managed, or nonrenewable like fossil fuels. Two major threats to the global environment are ozone depletion, which is addressed by banning CFCs, and global climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Conservation aims to protect biodiversity and ecosystems for humanity's long term well-being.
BLUE CARBON IMPACTS ON COASTAL REGIONS (3).pptx

Global warming
The document discusses several issues negatively impacting the environment including melting ice, methane gas emissions, deforestation, and high energy consumption. Melting ice is occurring faster than ever before which could raise sea levels and harm wildlife. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas over 20 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat. Deforestation alters climates, causes species extinction, and reduces the lungs of the Earth. Some solutions proposed are reducing energy use, stopping deforestation, and changing behaviors to help the environment. While the problems are large, small individual actions could help decrease their effects.

Bioenergy and Land use change: Local to Global Challenges
This document summarizes research on bioenergy and land use challenges from local to global scales. It discusses the types and uses of bioenergy globally as well as potential environmental risks like land use change emissions. The research assessed carbon savings from bioenergy production, finding soil carbon stock changes and N2O emissions significantly impact greenhouse gas balances. An ecosystem land use modeling tool was developed to explore land use change scenarios. The document emphasizes remaining uncertainties around soil carbon changes and recommends research priorities to increase understanding and design policies that mitigate risks of bioenergy expansion.
Peatlands, Climate Change & Biodiversity
This presentation displays the strong links between peatlands, climate change and biodiversity. Peatland degradation is a disaster for both the local and global climate as well as biodiversity.
Oana Iacob @FTF2013
This document summarizes a presentation on using natural flood management as a climate change adaptation option. It introduces ecosystem services and discusses how climate change is increasing flood risk in the UK. It then defines natural flood management as using land cover and channel features to store, infiltrate and slow water flow. The presentation describes a case study applying these techniques and hydrological modeling to the Tarland catchment in Scotland under different land use and climate change scenarios to explore natural flood management performance. It concludes that natural flood management has potential to help manage increased flood risk from climate change but time lags must be considered for vulnerable communities.
Human footprint on environment
The EF compares human demand on nature with nature’s regenerative capacity.
It is a measure of the demands and the consumption of natural resources by people.
The sizes of ecological footprint vary from country to country and from person to person.
Gw Final
The document discusses global warming and its causes, evidence, and potential impacts. It also outlines strategies to mitigate and adapt to global warming effects, including the Kyoto Protocol which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key technologies discussed are carbon capture and storage from large industrial sources, with geological storage seen as a promising option to help address the global challenge of climate change.
Global warming
The document discusses strategies for mitigating the effects of rising sea levels in a coastal city. It recommends the following plan of action:
1. Implement adaptation strategies like building dikes and barriers to protect coastal areas from sea level rise, and help coastal populations relocate to higher ground.
2. Pursue mitigation efforts like improving energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy and public transport, and reducing emissions from buildings, transportation, waste, and land use to slow the rise in sea levels caused by climate change.
3. Educate the public about sustainable practices they can adopt to reduce their carbon footprint, like using less energy and materials, recycling and composting more, and opting for more sustainable transportation
Climate Change and CCS
Climate change and carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) and current initiatives in the Canadian energy industry.
Co2 and climate change
Climate change discussion and various scientific viewpoints weave a matrix of knowledge in an incredibly complex global environment. Carbon dioxide sequestration is part of the matrix of environmental solutions that will accelerate our ability to develop and deploy green renewable energy.
Lekts 7
This document discusses several global environmental issues including global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, marine pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, desertification, and radiation contamination. It provides statistics on world population growth and increasing global demands for energy and protein. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and CFCs contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. The document advocates for renewable energy solutions like wind and biogas from dairy farms to help address these environmental challenges and create a more sustainable future.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
