Nitrogen furnishes a major component of chlorophyll where it’s known for its ability to grow green leaves. Potassium provides a measure of disease resistance to plants and protection from the cold.

Deforestation: Deforestation causes frequent floods. Every year about 30 million people and 10 million hectares are affected and the property lost may run into thousands of corers of rupees. The annual loss of top soil is estimated 6000 million tonnes; its value in terms of money is enormous. Soil erosion also causes siltation of lakes and rivers. Felling of trees and destruction of forests cause imbalance in forests ecosystem. That reflects in the loss of varieties of flora and fauna. Forest loss is

Other than that‚ human waste produced methane gas is very explosive and an asphyxiation hazard.

When these pesticides get into water bodies they cause “eutrophication” which is the growth of excess algae in the water . These algae tend to compete with the living aquatic organisms in the water bodies for the available oxygen resulting to the death of some aquatic organisms. POPs do not readily break down; they pollute the air‚ soil‚ rivers and

Salt marshes store enormous quantities of carbon‚ essential to plant productivity‚ by‚ in essence‚ breathing in the atmospheric carbon and then using it to grow‚ flourish and increase the height of the soil. Even as the grasses die‚ the carbon remains trapped in the sediment. Salt marshes can be extremely difficult places to live
