Acid Rain Effects

• Inequity in the fauna and flora of the soil. • Increase in salt amount in the soil which makes it unfit for farming. • Crops which grew on pollute soil cause health

Nutrient pollution coming from agricultural runoff and other fertilizers allows for the growth of species that upset the balance of the ecosystem such as Cattail, harmful algae bloom, and duckweed. The sulfur in the agricultural fertilizers leads to accumulation of toxic mercury in fish, birds, and mammals. Also, exotic animals or invasive species displaced native and threatens to disrupt the ecosystem balance. The purpose of this experiment is to determine how the water quality affects the Everglades ecosystem and how water pollution impacts different species. Urbanization is a big threat that contributes to poor water quality in water pollution.

There is no specific differences between every sample, however it was observed that the leaves of Amaranth plant were darker in sample 1 and sample 2, because it was contain high nickel and cadmium concentration in the soil (Ziaranti, P. , Somaye, 2014). By determining characteristic heavy metals especially Nickel and cadmium, they are still important because it contain micronutrients for the plants, but the higher amount of it could be have toxicity. High level in cadmium, have a negative effect for food chain of microorganism, it will damage the living tissue (Ziaranti, P. , Somaye,

Some people call it acid deposition because they say it is a more precise name due to the fact that acid rain isn’t only rain, it can fall as rain, snow, sleet, hail and anything else. Acid rain has been formed because as we release harmful gases into the atmosphere, we are lowering the pH of precipitation, creating acid rain. Acid rain can kill small organisms such as trees and fish which destroys ecosystems. Although acid rain is not known to affect humans immensely, it can however, cause health issues usually lung

Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.

The PH of the soil: Soil PH is simply a measure of how acid or alkaline the soil is on a scale of 1-14 , and soil acidity or alkalinity (soil pH) is important because it influences how easily plants can take up nutrients from the soil; thus indicating the health of the soil. from 6.0 to 7.5. Below pH 6.0, some nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are less available. When pH exceeds 7.5, iron, manganese, and phosphorus are less available.

The treatment of such coal reduces its sulphur content avoiding excessive atmospheric pollution. Through surface mining methods such as stripping and open-pits, leave the land sterile, losses of vegetation and habitats for fauna results. However land reclamation initiatives which restore vegetation cover and soils reduce the negative. Impact of surface coal mining. Acid mine drainage is another negative impact of coal mining especially in wet environments.

Common name: Giant African Snail Description: Compared to other snails, the A. fulica is bigger, can be up to eight inches tall and like any other organism in the mollusca phylum possess a shell. The shell is shaped in the form of a cone and has up to nine swirls of color adorning it. The color of the shell ranges from dark brown and reddish brown. Additionally, the shell can be decorated with streaks and marking that can be dark or light in color. Although the color of the shell mainly depends on the environment it finds itself in.

The effects of Acid rain as Hai-Ying Liu(15/01/2015, ) says are the direct effects of So2, extremely acidic mist or rain events or other pollutants. It also has its effects on the soil which is likely to have negative effects on forest growth in China. Defilation is a difficult thing to diagnose as insect attacks play a major role in indicating the climatic stress. Predisposing effects acid rain cannot be ruled out as an additional cause due to the difficulty to

Fertilizers remove the nutrients of the soil damaging the soil and the local environment and after being mixed with the soil, gradually reduce the fertility of the soil. In the study of (Southland) using fertilizers consists of substances and chemicals like methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and nitrogen, the emission of which has contributed to a great extent in the quantity of greenhouse gases present in the environment. These facts are alarming and a serious step needs to be taken as soon as possible to avoid more severe consequences. This in turn is leading to global warming and weather changes. The use of fertilizers for growth and cultivation is keeping our stomach filled for now, but then if things keep on progressing the way they are, it won’t take long to see the times where there is lack of food, water, and health.

A Riparian Zone is an area next to a creek or river that is not mowed, where natural plant life is carefully cultivated. When you remove the natural plants along the river, the roots of the plants cease to hold the dirt on the riverbank in place, and runoff becomes a larger issue as the banks erode faster, polluting the water. However, the plants can fix this problem. The plants help avoid runoff because their roots absorb much of the extra water that washes pesticides into the river. Also, it anchors the dirt and prevents it from escaping the bank.

The variables measured are nitrate, nitrite, total phosphorus, ammonia and transparency. Harrison also states that river and Lake Eutrophication is a problem across most of Europe because of excessive nitrogen and phosphorus levels from agricultural, industrial and domestic effluents. Harrison states that natural organic matter is present in most natural eco systems.
