Restoration ecology specifically refers to scientific studies and their name that was first developed in the 1980s. Contents History Definition Restoration needs Conservation biology and restoration ecology ... edit History Land managers, laypeople, and stewards have been practicing restoration for many hundreds, if not thousands of years, yet the scientific field of "restoration ecology" was first identified and coined in the late 1980s by John Aber and William Jordan. The study of restoration ecology has only become a robust and independent scientific discipline over the last two decades.

Because we shield ourselves, in our homes, vehicles and workplaces, from the worst short-term effects of environmental damage and hide from the obvious, we often fail to see the effects on the wild. The toll on our planet of our modern way of life is very serious and is unsustainable. As I was writing this page, I looked back on the day, today, in which I saw one lonely pair of Lapwings in their courtship flight, over the Berkshire Downs. When I was a child in this area, there were thousands. They would spend their summers on the hills and their winters in crowds in the valley pastures. They are just not to be seen now. This applies as well to skylarks and to so many other creatures. A night drive used to be plagued by moths on the windscreen. Not now. Modern farming is not sustainable. The cheap food policy of successive governments drives the system ever deeper into trouble. In fact, the ‘cheap’ food that we buy would not be so cheap if the cost of removing

Soil ecology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Soil ecology is the study of the interactions among soil organisms, and between biotic and abiotic aspects of the soil environment. It is particularly concerned with the cycling of nutrients , formation and stabilization of the pore structure , the spread and vitality of pathogens , and the biodiversity of this rich biological community Contents Overview Features of the ecosystem Soil food web Research ... edit Overview Soil is made up of a multitude of physical chemical , and biological entities, with many interactions occurring among them. Soil is a variable mixture of broken and weathered minerals and decaying organic matter. Together with the proper amounts of air and water, it supplies, in part, sustenance for plants as well as mechanical support. The diversity and abundance of soil life exceeds that of any other ecosystem . Plant establishment, competitiveness, and growth is governed largely by the ecology below-ground, so understanding this system is an essential component of plant sciences and terrestrial ecology. edit Features of the ecosystem Moisture itself becomes a major limiting factor on land. Terrestrial organisms are constantly confronted with the problem of dehydration. Transpiration or evaporation of water from plant surfaces is an energy dissipating process unique to the terrestrial environment.

Soil ecology By Dr J Floor Anthoni (2000) www.seafriends.org.nz/enviro/soil/ecology.htm Soils, their living organisms, and the plant ecosystems rooted in them, have developed in close synchrony ever since plants evolved. Between them there exists a strange synergy, whose only purpose seems to be to sustain life to its maximum. Man's intervention, by cutting forests, seeding grassland and planting crops amounts to a major shock to this earthy world. Man's ignorance and unfriendliness towards the soil may lead to his own destruction. Knowing how the soil's ecosystem works, what it needs and how it likes to be treated, could save our soils for posterity. How does soil work? What happens in the soil? How are nutrients recycled in soil? What is the water cycle and how does the water cycle fertilise the soil? What lives in soil? What is the role of fungi? Life is about organic carbon compound, stored in the vegetation and animals, but also in the soil. Soil organisms' energy comes only from the various carbon compounds recycled to the soil. internal cycles The nature of an ecosystem is to recycle the most precious building blocks of life, its nutrients, energy and water. These ecosystems have evolved over eons of time, long before the dawn of Man. The invisible ecosystem of the soil is what makes soil fertile.

A-Z Index Contact Us Search Ecology home Water Quality Non-native Invasive Freshwater Plants - Table of Contents Non-native Invasive Freshwater Plants Eurasian Watermilfoil General Information Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum ) is an attractive plant with feathery underwater foliage. It was once commonly sold as an aquarium plant. Eurasian watermilfoil, hereafter called milfoil, originates from Europe and Asia, but was introduced to North America many years ago and is now found over much of the United States. This plant was introduced to the eastern United States at least as long ago as the 1940s, but it may have arrived as early as the late 1800s. The first known herbarium specimen of milfoil in Washington was collected from Lake Meridian near Seattle in 1965. By the mid 1970s it was also found in Lake Washington. During this same time period milfoil became established in central British Columbia and traveled downstream to Lake Osoyoos and the Okanogan River in central Washington. Now milfoil is found in the Columbia, Okanogan, Snake, and Pend Oreille Rivers and in many nearby lakes. In western Washington, the distribution of milfoil closely follows the Interstate 5 corridor. It is very apparent that milfoil has been spread from lake to lake on boat trailers. Growth Habit Management Once milfoil becomes well-established within a waterbody, it is difficult or impossible to remove. In smaller waterbodies (350 acres or less), we have had some success using an aquatic herbicide called Sonar® to remove milfoil and the selective herbicides 2,4-D and triclopyr-TEA show great promise in managing milfoil infestations. Other control methods include harvesting, rotovation (underwater rototilling), installation of bottom barriers, diver hand pulling, diver dredging, and in some very limited situations the use of triploid (sterile) grass carp. We are investigating other biological controls such as the milfoil weevil. Milfoil management costs the state and private individuals up-to-one million dollars per year.

A-Z Index Contact Us Home WATER ... Water Quality Stormwater Stormwater is rain and snow melt that runs off surfaces such as rooftops, paved streets, highways, and parking lots. As water runs off these surfaces, it can pick up pollution such as: oil, fertilizers, pesticides, soil, trash, and animal waste. From here, the water might flow directly into a local stream, bay, or lake. Or, it may go into a storm drain and continue through storm pipes until it is released untreated into a local waterway. In addition, the large impervious surfaces in urban areas increase the quantity of peak flows of runoff, which in turn cause hydrologic impacts such as scoured streambeds channels, instream sedimentation and loss of habitat. Furthermore, because of the volume of runoff discharges, mass loads of pollutants in stormwater can be significant. Human Health : In general, untreated stormwater is unsafe. It can contain toxic metals, organic compounds, bacteria, and viruses. Untreated stormwater is not safe for people to drink and is not recommended for swimming. Polluted stormwater can lead to beach closures for swimming and shellfish harvesting. It can also trigger toxic algal blooms. Drinking Water : In some areas of Washington, notably Spokane County, and parts of Pierce and Clark counties, gravelly soils allow rapid infiltration of stormwater. Untreated stormwater discharging to the ground could contaminate aquifers that are used for drinking water.
