-Outline 2 physical characteristics of the Great Barrier ReefThe Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. It is located on the northeast coast of Queensland next to the Pacific Ocean. The reef extends from the Torres Straight Islands to Sandy Cape near Fraser Island. Nearly 3‚000 individual coral reefs and some 300 small coral islands form the reef‚ which ranks as the world’s largest structure made by living organisms .The reef is approximately 37‚000 square kilometers‚ accounting

a droughts duration and frequency upon aquatic flora and fauna. Hypothesis: It is believed that as drought progresses‚ the rate at which aquatic living organisms propagate decreases. Method: The data from different ten wetland systems was analysed. These wetland systems has experienced drought in 1950‚ 2005 and 2008. Each event occurred for the duration of nine‚ eighteen and ten months respectively refer to figure 1.1 “ Invertebrate richness”. The mean‚ standard deviation‚ standard error

Hydrosphere – Water & Wetlands Introduction Planet earth- rightly termed as blue planet because of enormous quantity of water enveloping the earth‚ is unique in harbouring life on earth as we know today. The term hydrosphere represents this part of the earth. For millions of years‚ the intricate balance between hydrosphere and atmosphere has resulted in the observed global pattern of seasons‚ cycle of snow and rainfall‚ summers and winters‚ droughts and floods. This has consequences

The National Wildlife Federation believes that Americans should be working together to protect wildlife and wild places for their own sake. Wildlife is important to the heritage‚ culture and heart of America and we want to preserve it as a legacy for our children. Although you cannot put a value on all the ways that the natural world enriches our lives‚ there are many tangible benefits to living in a world with strong and healthy ecosystems.

Winthrop Lake‚ and the Wetlands Isis Nelson Dr. McCulloch BIOL 203 March 8‚ 2013 Abstract Title: Multiple comparisons between different locations with dissolved oxygen. Is there a difference in the dissolved oxygen in the wetlands‚ woods‚ lake‚ and water area near the succession plots? Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen that appears inside water. This experiment was tested over Winthrop University’s school ground wetlands. The wetlands are proximately about 1

The aquatic biodiversity of this wetland ecosystem provides food and livelihood for local people in five communes in the national park buffer zone namely Giao Thien‚ Giao An‚ Giao Lac‚ Giao Xuan‚ and Giao Hai with population above 48‚160 people‚ 12‚080 households and area about 38 km2

this but also thousands of other types of species. Wetlands are one of the many ecosystems that allow different types of species to survive in it like. Examples of these types of species are birds‚ plants‚ amphibians‚ insects‚ fish‚ microbes‚ and mammals. The wetlands also provide these species with food and breeding grounds Wetlands don’t just support the species that live in them they also help the land around them. One of the ways wetlands help is water can get filtered of most of its harmful

in a river‚ lake or fresh water wetland. Surface water is naturally replenished by precipitation and naturally lost through discharge to the oceans‚ evaporation‚ evapotranspiration and sub-surface seepage. Although the only natural input to any surface water system is precipitation within its watershed‚ the total quantity of water in that system at any given time is also dependent on many other factors. These factors include storage capacity in lakes‚ wetlands and artificial reservoirs‚ the permeability
