Water pollution

Xiu et al, 2010). In our experiment, the causal question was what affects the growth rate of Lemna minor. The hypothesis was that water quality or nutrient availability would affect the growth rate of Lemna minor. The prediction was that water enriched with nutrients would have a higher growth rate than water without enrichment. The rationale behind this is that water fortified with nutrients will provide the Lemna with more bio-available food, which is required…

Forests are being knocked down to make way for suburbs and cities, but still trees find a new home amidst the urbanization.
