    One type of sediment to note is diatomaceous earth, an uplifted siliceous ooze which contains the remains of the microscopic algae known as diatoms (Garrison and Ellis 152). With a density lower than most other sediments—measured at 0.2816 g/ml in our lab results—the powdery and apparently sticky sediment has rather tiny grains as expected from this sort of sediment. As diatomaceous earth derives from the diatom ooze of the deep ocean floor, it originates from the slow dissolution of diatom…

    The Crown of Thorns starfish (Acanthaster Planci) Anjali Barnes 2016 Ms. Lee 9X Acanthaster planci Introduction The Crown of Thorns starfish, or Acanthaster Planci, is one of the largest threats to the Great Barrier Reef. The starfish, also known as COTS, can have up to 21 arms, each with hundreds of toxic spines. They move by expanding and contracting these feet, and feed on hard coral. Abiotic features are non-living or physical factors and can have a large effect on the Great Barrier Reef…

    Coral Reef Decline

    • 643 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The article “Forecasted Coral Reef Decline in Marine Biodiversity Hotspots under Climate Change” examines the suitability of habitats for coral reef development and growth concerning mainly the factor of thermal tolerance. Coral reefs are home to many species and these habitats are key for maintaining biodiversity, yet under climate change this highly diverse system is very vulnerable, especially to changing sea surface temperatures. A slight increase in sea surface temperature can lead to mass…

    Acropora Millepora is just one of the many types of coral species in the world that are affected by coral bleaching. As the previous section looked at the organismal level of these particular species, this section will now take the perspective at the population level. Population ecology is defined in the book of Environmental Science as “ the study of factors that cause populations to increase or decrease” ( Friedland 151). These factors may include what enables species to thrive in a certain…

    Global climate change: there is now sufficient evidence that global climate change, the emission an accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has had multiple effects on coral reefs. (Lesser, 2010) Terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems are all affected by climate change. Coral is a vital part of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem, without it there would be cascading effects. Coral bleaching is primarily caused by ocean temperature increase, but can also be caused by increased…

    plants, are water milfoil, hornwort, and water primrose. Floating plants, float on the surface of the pond. They do not need soil, as the extract their nutrients from the water. Floating plants are extremely beneficial as they control algae. Floating plants control algae by restricting light, and filtering out excess nutrients. Some examples of floating plants, are duckweed, and water…

    An organism discovered on the Japanese seashore behaves as a predator and a plant in a bizarre lifecycle that may bring biologists closer to understanding how chloroplasts became part of plant cells, according to a study from the University of Tsukuba. Before understanding how this mysterious single-celled organism works, it had to be given a proper scientific name. Analysis of its cellular structure and genetic profile showed that it is most closely related to organisms assigned to the genus…

    nauplii reach approximately 1 mm in length (about 3 to 4 days), water will be drained out using filters and about 100 ml of the concentrated nauplii will be collected and feed with appropriate algae source in 2 tanks. Feeding will be repeated once the Artemia has cleared the tank of motile, suspended algae, typically 2 to 4 days depending on the density and size of the Artemia. During the six-week spiking experiment, HgT and isotopic ratios will be measured in Artemia samples every week…

    Their skeleton is made out of calcium carbonate protecting them from future encounters with predators. Many more coral polyps then can attach themselves to the coral already there and develops lots of coral reefs grouped together. Photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae live in the coral’s tissues, protecting them from diseases and providing compounds they need for photosynthesis. Most people may not…
