Freelance Traveller The Lab Ship Xenobiology 101: Part 4 - Ecology, Environment, and Evolution by Robert O'Connor Back to The Lab Ship Back to Contents Search Freelance Traveller Introduction Ecology is that science that explores how organisms interact with each other and their environment. For surface life, factors that determine climate will influence the variety of environment types present. A key determinant of climate is the amount of energy available from the primary and the ability of the world to retain some of this input. The properties of the atmospheric gas mix are important in this regard. For example, carbon dioxide and methane are well known "greenhouse" gases, as they limit the amount of infrared radiation reflected into space. The presence of life is critical to maintaining atmospheric composition. The present levels of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere are due to photosynthesis. Life with alternate biochemistries using gaseous reactants will doubtless affect the atmospheres of their worlds in a similar fashion. Local differences in the albedo or surface reflectivity of a planet causes heat gradients to develop in the atmosphere. For example, water (oceans) is less reflective than land which is usually less reflective than clouds.

(It) manages to highlight (aquatic environments) in a way that...impart(s) genuine understanding to the...reader." Forestry A fascinating new scientific work that discusses the role wood plays in very complex and diverse aquatic ecosystems. Wood in streams and rivers is a source of food energy for invertebrates. Along coastlines, wood stabilizes sand pits, beaches, and dune complexes. The loss of wood to aquatic ecosystems means destabilization. This subject is extremely important in the ecologically fragile times we live in now. Includes 70 illustrations. Key Features: Wood as a source of valuable food energy for invertebrate organisms Obligatory, wood-boring marine invertebrates and the breaking down of wood and the useable carbon created Creation of new habitats for innertidal organisms and the coastal food chain The destabilization of streams, estuaries, dunes, and beaches when wood is lost to aquatic ecosystems

Ocean in a Bottle This lesson developed by Reach Out! Recommended Age Group: Elementary School Guiding Questions: What is pollution Which liquids mix with water? Which liquids won't mix with water? Objectives Concepts Pollution in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams is a very serious matter. Pollution is when we add things to the ground, the air, or the water that will make it dirty or will bring harm to the life in and around it. People often dump liquids into oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Some of these liquids will mix with water; others will not. Principles When a liquid will mix with water, we might have a hard time even knowing it is there. So, water may look pure but really be mixed with another liquid that will harm plants, creatures or people. Sometimes a liquid we add to water will at first mix with the water, but then separate out again so we can see that it is actually there. This is a settling process. Facts We must be careful about what we dump into our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Many of the liquids we are putting into our water systems will make it harmful for the life in and around it.

The Ecology of Rivers and Streams: Rivers as Dynamic Physical Entities Rivers are dynamic- constantly changing They transport materials, erode landscapes, and shape continents. We like rivers, creeks and streams We like to watch them We like to swim in them We like to drink them Sometimes, we even pee in them But here, we’re going to study them, and ponds and lakes, too. Introduction Who studies streams and such?

What is "BENTHOS"? The word BENTHOS derives from the greek benqws (engl. "ocean depth, thicket") and is used as a scientific term for all organisms occuring on or in the bottom of aquatic habitats (oceans, lakes, rivers). Benthic communities comprise species differing in terms of their ecology, life strategies, and body size: Mikrobenthos - organisms smaller than 0.06 mm; e.g. bacteria and unicellular animals and plants (protists), colonizing preferentially the suface of sediment grains Meiobenthos - organisms between 0.06 and 1 mm; e.g. Thread Worms (Nematoda) and small copepods (Copepoda Harpacticioidea), living especially in the interstices between sediment grains Makrobenthos - organisms larger than 1 mm, i.e. that are visible by the naked eye; mainly invertebrate animals, e.g. Bristleworms (Polychaeta), bivalves (Bivalvia) and echinoderms (Echinodermata), living either on the sea floor ( Epibenthos ) or buried in the bottom ( Endobenthos Generally, benthic communities are much more diverse in terms of species richness than those of the mid and surface water layers (the so-called

Links Current Issues Site Map Feedback Contacts Home Rivers and Estuaries How healthy are our rivers and estuaries? Rivers around the world are in crisis. As one of the most sensitive indicators of land use and catchment condition they are the warning 'canaries' of environment degradation resulting from human pressure and misuse. In Australia, the driest vegetated continent, many rivers are now in very poor condition. Estuaries are widely recognised as the planet's most valuable ecosystems. With approximately 36,700 km of coastline, Australia boasts around 1000 estuaries, and many of these show telltale signs of degradation. Over the past two centuries, the health of our river systems and estuaries has gradually declined due to a range of influences, including salinity, sedimentation through soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, altered flow regimes, toxic algal blooms and declining nutrients and water quality. Given that Australia's rivers have naturally variable flow regimes, the challenge has been to ensure security of water supplies for agricultural and urban use. As a result, almost all of our major rivers are now dammed and their flows are regulated.

57. Fluvial Discharge Of Silicate To The Oceans we have accumulated a database for more than 1500 rivers, which collectively representmore than 85 percent of the total land area draining into the oceans. http://data.ecology.su.se/scopesi/fluvdisch.htm

Fluvial Discharge of Silicate to the Oceans: A Global Perspective John D. Milliman and Katherine L. Farnsworth School of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA Abstract Over the past 20 years we have accumulated a database for more than 1500 rivers, which collectively represent more than 85 percent of the total land area draining into the oceans. As such, this unique database affords us a unique opportunity to quantify and assess fluvial fluxes to the oceans from both regional and global perspectives. At present rivers discharge approximately 35,000 km of freshwater to the global ocean; another 3000 km /yr are assumed to be contained in reservoirs behind dams. Subtracting this total from meteorologic runoff (precipitation minus evaporation: 39,700 km /yr), groundwater flux to the global ocean would be 2000 km /yr. By virtue of high meteorologic runoff, monsoonal climate, and large cumulative drainage area, the rivers draining southeast Asia and the high-standing islands of Oceania (including New Zealand, Indonesia and the Philippines) collectively contribute about 30% of the global freshwater flux, with northeastern South America (primarily the Amazon and Orinoco rivers) discharging another 25%. Suspended sediment discharge to the oceans is much more difficult to estimate, since the sediment load for any river depends on a number of highly variable factors, such as basin area, topography, climate, geology, landuse, etc. Tropical and sub-tropical rivers are particularly susceptible to high rates of erosion due since they drain high-standing, geologically young mountains, are influenced by a monsoonal climate, and their often small basin areas mean that they are more responsive to periodic events and that relatively little sediment is stored along their river courses. A first-order estimate indicates that rivers draining southern Asia and Oceania account for at least 75% of the sediment discharged annually to the oceans (estimated to be about 18.6 x 10

Also See: Table of Contents Endorsements FOREWORD TO "FROM THE FOREST TO THE SEA: THE ECOLOGY OF WOOD IN STREAMS, RIVERS, ESTUARIES, AND OCEANS" The forest and the sea have always been connected in human mind and myth, as well as ecologically. For most of our history, we have gone "down to the sea in ships" made from trees, emulating driftwood, which was probably the original model for the whole process. In any event, the knitting together of sea and land by rivers, logs, fish, soil, and tides is basic to the ecology of all coastal margins where forests occur. Because most great rivers rise in forested places and run to the sea, the connection is fundamental and well-nigh universal and extends far inland and upland from the coast. How interesting, then, and how devastating a commentary on the current state of our disciplinarily fragmented science, that the people who study forests and the people who study salt water rarely interact. How peculiar that is has been only in the last two decades that we realized that much of the "sediment" in the coastal rivers that found its way to estuaries and coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest, the setting for this marvelously inquisitive book, was solid wood. Wood is the forest's gift to the sea; water is the sea's gift to the forest.

Built into the cover is a pair of stereo glasses that enables the viewer to see fish, anemones, coral, and other colorful sea creatures as they would look to a scuba diver. It's quite fascinating and realistic. My kids looked at them forever the first time and have looked at them many times since. In addition to the wonderful photos, the author explains how he took the pictures and gives the common and scientific name of each organism, the location where it was shot, and a short description. There's a great glossary, but unfortunately no index or table of contents, and the pages are unnumbered. This will be a great addition to your library. JC 1997 $18.95 ISBN: 0-8118-1412-2
