Aquatic ecosystem

Water pollution has become an issue of great concern in our society. Many of today’s water ecosystems and drinking water are being polluted and destroyed as we speak. There are many types of water ecosystems such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and ponds witch provide homes to many different organisms. There are overwhelming factors that contribute to the problems of water pollution such as sewage, radioactive wastes, improper disposal of trash on land, and careless beachgoers. These are all significant

effect. Ocean temperatures rising due to global warming and human pollution rapidly melts ice caps, causes storms such as hurricanes and typhoons, and destroys aquatic ecosystems. Since ocean temperatures are rapidly rising, ice caps cannot stand up to them and therefore are melting at a quick rate, which is not good for the ecosystem. “Heat stored in the ocean is one of the most important diagnostics for global warming because 90% of additional heat is stored there and only 2% in the atmosphere

many populations. Climate change is affecting aquatic systems through the melting of polar icecaps and therefore rising sea levels. The coral reefs are endangered due to climate change and we are also more likely to have rapidly changing, severe weather conditions such as heat waves, droughts and floods. As a result, climate change is very damaging for aquatic environments both marine and freshwater, which effects the habitats for endless different aquatic organisms. A quarter of the marine life on

Wildebeests feeding river ecosystem for years The article I came upon that caught my interest was how wildebeests help maintain an ecosystem for years in the Mara River. This subject relates to our unit of study because it shows how a primary consumer and other land ecosystems depend on the wildebeests to be able to flourish. This shows that producers could get their food from primary consumers in special cases and how other organisms benefit from the drowning of thousands of wildebeests. In the

the impacts of pesticides in five main topics: aquatic life,  health, birds, water(contamination), and soil fertility.  The first topic will be on aquatic life. After the pesticides are used in agriculture, they runoff into small rivers and ends up entering huge water bodies like seas and oceans. They affect the aquatic life. Fishes and other water organisms face difficulty in breathing and die. This lead to loss of biodiversity in the aquatic ecosystem. I also plan to touch on the disturbance in the

fishery ends up removed from the direct influence of significant regulating bodies such as conservation, freshwater scientists and regulators like the Environment Agency, thus emphasising the role that fishery managers must independently regulate the aquatic environment of their freshwater body. One of the main reasons as to why it is so significant to

effect on human history. Complexity in nature acts as a limiting factor on not only the human species, but also all the species of earth. Ecosystems residing between the tropics possess immense biodiversity that creates barriers to human expansion, often in the form of disease. As early humans migrated from tropical ecosystems to less elaborate, temperate ecosystems, a “niche-shift” took place (McNeill 55). Homo sapiens found themselves in a less-resilient habitat, inhibiting new survival tactics. Agriculture

paragraphs. • Introduce the proposed solutions. Thesis Statement: Acid Deposition in the United States has caused damages to the aquatic system, the vegetation and the historical statues. Potential solutions to this problem include switching to energy sources other than fossil fuels and removing sulfur from coal. Body paragraphs: I. Discuss how acid deposition is a problem to the aquatic system as it pollutes surface water and decreases species richness. II. Discuss how acid deposition causes diebacks of

worlds entire land mass however, they are highly important for ecosystems. Riparian ecosystems share attributes of both aquatic and land ecosystems allowing for greater and a wider verity of biodiversity. They also act as protective barrier for water bodies. Protecting them from soil run off, pollutants and control water temperature by shading sunlight. Along with many other factors that help to create a healthy and prosperous ecosystem. (Riparian area management…,2001) Due to these factors it has
