The influence of land use patterns on eutrophication in the Ribeira do Iguape watershed. The case study by Cunha, Bottino and Calijuri (2010), examined how land use patterns within the Ribeira do Iguape watershed, Sao Paulo, Brazil, with varied levels of anthropogenic interference influenced eutrophication variables (total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and total nitrogen (TN)) ranges in three rivers (Canha, Pariquera-Acu and Jacupiranguinha Rivers).…

In my opinion if it was not for agriculture, civilizations would not be where they are today. Because of agriculture, civilizations became better, humans became better, and life itself around the world became better. Agriculture was the key to sedentary civilization, domestication of animals led to food supply. Agriculture is the cultivation of animals and plants, and anything else that is a food source. Agricultural Revolution is also the term for New Stone Age and they are huge contributors of…

for plant food it usually takes more than a single serving to provide these nutrients. Meat provides saturated fat which enables the function of the immune system and nervous system.

According to a study done by researchers at the Institute of Social Medical and Epidemiology, vegetarians are more likely to suffer from anxiety disorders, due to the low levels of cholesterol they have…

If this was an article you were reading in a magazine, would you flip past it? You would, wouldn’t you? I don’t blame you. Who would want to read some boring ‘save the earth’ article by some tree hugger when the alternative was reading about Kim Kardashian’s latest Twitter beef. I mean we are all fully aware that the ecosystem is really important and yeah littering is bad and you wouldn’t do it but in all honesty it wouldn’t make that much of a difference, would it? Arbitrary thoughts for an…

Bos bison, or the American bison, is the largest land mammal native to North America. It is placed in the same genus, Bos, as the domestic cattle.

In undeveloped grasslands, only 4% of rainfall is lost to runoff, compared to suburban land which has 15% of rainfall lost to run off. This changes ecosystems that were previously undisturbed until the proliferation of urban sprawl. This also has a negative effect on the…

Existing for over 4.5 billion years, Earth has provided an environment with an abundant and diverse biodiversity with infinite types of organisms and many resources among the ecosystem. As the variety life on Earth survives from the provided resources, the biodiversity itself, however, isn’t sustaining very well after millions of years have passed. With the evolution of humans and population increasing, expansion and migration toward different areas eventually allowed humans to learn how to…
