Meet 10 types that are rotated from the threshold of being None
Biodiversity loss to increase in global scale. But the table for some types is not completely negative. Due to its long-term protection studies, many types of populations have been re-existing. The international data shows that the types are protected when correct is valid. U.S. Nesli Tüken Species Act covered by the protection of the...
The story of the snake fish from the ocean to Lake Bafa
What makes Bafa Lake private is not only a view. The life of a fish living in this lake begins in Atlas Ocean, thousands of kilometers away. This fish; European snake fish. Located in the middle of the Atlantic, the Sargasso Sea. The life started here is moved to European coasts with ocean discharges. After years of this journey, some individuals reach Turkey and have the inner water like Lake Bafa...
How do drugs pollut nature?
Modern medicine is one of the most important tools that extend human life and improve life quality. However, there is an environmental price of this progress: the drug remains increasingly accumulate in more water sources. These chemicals detected in rivers, lakes and underground waters indicate the type of pollution that does not appear. What is the drug from the body? The story when a drug is actually or...
Controversial experiment for climate crisis: 65 thousand litres of chemicals were released in the ocean
Last year, in August four days, the US's Maine Bay's waters took a dark red shade. The image was pushing the toxic red alg explosion. However, this was not a natural event, but an experiment that scientists did. The researchers pumped about 65 thousand liters of alkaline chemicals marked with red paint to the ocean. Objective, more carbon absorption of the ocean...
Not Harmful “forese”
Many live reflexes that we see in the garden, balcony or park are considered “polished”. Yet many small creatures in nature help the ecosystem retains balance. An important part of insects controls species that harm plants, improves the soil or contribute to pollination. So killing some creatures actually means weakening the natural defense system of the garden. ...
Who will clean space garbage?
Space garbage threatens low Earth orbit. Increased debris creates a risk of financial and security for communication and climate infrastructure.
Can oxygen loss be 10 thresholds?
Climate crisis is often discussed over temperature rise. Yet the world system consists of peers connected with each other. When these thresholds are exceeded, ecosystems can experience sudden and difficult changes to return. The framework of “Gezegen Limits” developed in 2009 appeared to identify these risks. Today we recommend adding a new one to these limits: water mass...
More expensive than Carbon Chest
The researchers from the United States (USA), Germany, Canada, Italy and the Netherlands conducted a study with the calculation of the ocean-based effects of the carbon release. The study published in Nature Climate Change showed that the oceans are doubled about the social cost of the carbon (SCC). In the study, seas, oceans and...
10 stunning statistics you need to know about quick fashion
Quick fashion; low price and high speed running production model. But the effects of this system on the environment and society are becoming more visible when the numbers are cleared. 1. Fashion sector is responsible for about 10 percent of global carbon emissions. This rate is higher than the total release of international flights and sea transportation. 2. Fashion industry, second largest water consumption among industries...
How does plastic pollution break balance in water ecosystems?
Plastic pollution is often discussed through waste management and image pollution. Yet recent scientific findings show that microplastics create much deeper and indirect effects in water ecosystems. A new research reveals that fossil fuel-based plastics trigger alg explosions, causing water quality hazard. A trigger that does not appear in Alg explosions...
I'm happy to eat in Korea Peninsula Tags
Wars and political limits often leave permanent destruction on nature. In Korea Peninsula, there is a remarkable example that shows the opposite. The liberated area of the soldier, which is located between North and South Korea, stands out as one of the most rich biological variety areas of East Asia today thanks to the absence of people who last for about years. 6 thousand 200 species in the region...
Can microplastics turn into solar energy?
Microplastics that occur during the washing of synthetic clothes are considered an important source of pollution for water ecosystems for a long time. A new academic study conducted in Turkey approaches this problem from a different framework. Microplastics from washing machines are shown to be converted into a material that can be used in solar batteries with appropriate operations. Re...
