Conservation And Benefits Of Ecosystem

Ecosystem provides us with the components and factors necessary for our survival on the planet Earth. it constitutes abiotic and biotic factor necessary for the survival of living organisms on the Earth .since the population is increasing rapidly and the industrial revolution is bringing up devastating change on the geography of the earth, the natural ecosystem is getting unbalanced. Result of this unbalance is that many of the rare species are getting extinct, the temperature of the earth is rising, ice on the glaciers is melting, sea level is rising, extreme drought is being experienced in some dry land areas and the vegetation yield is getting low. What the need of the hour is that we need to conserve and preserve the ecosystem and its essential components to harmonize the balance of ecosystem to reduce the alarming threats to nature and ecosystem.

Conservation of extinct habitat:

Destruction of forests should be restrained and more and more trees should be planted this will give an evolution to biodiversity; besides the extinction of the species will get ceased. Favorable conditions should be provided to the species that are getting extinct.

 

 Reduce the Eutrophication:

 The chemical substances and fertilizers used during the agriculture cause the eutrophication by supplying excess nitrogen and phosphorous to water bodies. We need to promote organic plantation instead of using fertilizers. Also the water in water bodies should be examined and treated by the swaggers to reduce the organic nutrient components in it.

Protect the ozone layer:

 The ozone layer protects the ultra violet rays of sun that damages the environments  and habitats on earth including  human destruction of ozone layer also tends to raise the temperature of earth that is making the vast glaciers to melt  to making the sea level rise. Ozone layer is getting destroyed by the emission of hydrocarbon gases by combustion of biomass fuels in vehicles and industries. Such activities should be brought in control to avert the rise of such gases in ecosystem.

 

Recycle  of waste material ;

Reduction of waste material is essentially important for securing ecosystem. Instead of using the goods that are to be wasted in future, use the recyclable materials or the materials that can be used again. In this ways the waste material discarded by dumping in earth will reduce. Besides, less expense is made in recycling the used product rather than making a new product from the raw material.

 Benefits of ecosystem ;

Interaction of organism in an ecosystem has great benefits on human being in term of health and well-being of human beings.

Ecosystem provides life support to all of its living components it provides them with foods and nutrient necessary for their life. The residue of living being in an ecosystem serves as nutrients for the soil and gases for the air in atmosphere. Human get medicine, energy sources, fresh water and natural minerals from the ecosystem. Besides, all that ecosystem lends human with spiritual enrichment and cognitive development,. Healthy ecosystem has recreational effects on the human beings along with meditative healing effects on him.

Why the entire hullabaloo over Global Warming Needs Our Utmost Attention?

The last few years were really terrible for the earth and its inhabitants and most specifically when it comes to coping up with natural disasters. All the regions irrespective of their localities and geographies have faced worse natural calamities. The most significant among these natural disasters are tidal flooding in coastal communities and that is wholly and solely because of the intensely rising sea levels. The tidal flooding that most of the scientists associate directly to the emission of the greenhouse gases being produced due to human activities and the problem can even is worse in upcoming years. 

 

The most drastic human activity includes emissions that are produced from the burning of fossil fuels and that result the oceans to rise at the fastest rate. The eye-popping news in this respect is that the increasing sea levels have risen with the fastest rate, probably the fastest in the last 28 centuries. If the human emissions were not that fast, the ocean surface would have risen less rapidly and thus we won’t have seen these ongoing drastic climatic changes. 

 

The more and more routine tidal flooding is proving out to be so much horrible specifically for the coastal regions and that is why; we are witnessing a more drastic destruction of these regions. The horrible thing about tidal floods is that they often produce low level standing saltwater and thus damaging life in most of the towns by killing lawns and trees. Moreover, things can even get worse if the streets get blocked, and in this process, polluting the drinking water. The entire island population faces the severe over topping on the roads thus causing major halt to any kind of communication.

The severe rise in the sea level can not affect in the limited degree but also to a very huge extent and inhabitants of coastal areas may also face storms and hurricanes such as Katrina and Sandy.

The safety of this planet is not only useful for us but for our upcoming generations. 

You Don’t Need To Be A Farmer To Grow Food At Home

                     “Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.”

We people depend on plants to get food. Most of the things we eat like rice, wheat, vegetables and fruits come from trees and plants. Apart from these blessings all our luxuries like chocolate, nuts, spices and herbs wouldn’t be available to us without plants and trees. Growing trees and plants is not that much tricky as we think. There is no rocket science involved. All of us can grow plants and trees at our home. Growing healthy and edible plants at home not only give us the fresh and healthy food but also an attractive landscape and a refreshing air. Though it’s not tricky to grow plants at home but there are some tips that we have to know to get the best.

Helpful plant growing tips for indoor plants:

Sunny window is a must: 

All you need is to have a sunny window in your kitchen or living room and some extra time for plantation, and then you will be able to grow your own food right at your home. Here are some other tips to grow healthy plants indoor.

Plants need well-draining soil: 

Almost all types of edible plants need a well-draining soil. So make sure that the pot or window box you are using has holes in the bottom. Another way is to make a layer of stones at the bottom of your pot under the soil. Use some kind of container to place under the pot for drainage, if you are using a pot with holes. 

Sunlight is very much important for indoor plants: 

Sunlight is another important factor. Choose the area that receives lot of sunlight and remain warm all the day. For this purpose, the sunny windows are the best option. But, if you don’t have a sunny window, you can use grow lights. Grow lights are a better option for indoor plants to provide them optimum light and temperature.

Potting mix can be a better option for plants:

Potting mix can be a better option for healthy houseplants. If you don’t have a fertile soil available in your area, you can use potting mix in pots of you indoor plants. Potting mix contains peat, bark, sand, per lite and small amount of fertilizers which are essential to grow healthy indoor plants. Moreover, water the plants and prune the shoots regularly to keep your plants healthy. Soil should remain moist but not mushy.Grow your own food at your home, contribute in reducing the environmental pollution, have a healthy life style.

 

Global Warming Is A Global Threat

The earth’s temperature is rising day by day; massive glaciers are melting; plain land is converting to seas and ocean and surface of the sea is rising abruptly to an alarming extent. What’s the deal??? Scientist claims it to be the result of Global warming. Now the question is; what is global warming??? 

 

Global warming is an abrupt increase in temperature of Earth due to an emission of the Greenhouses gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gas emitted in greenhouse effect is the most responsible element in causing the global warming. Methane gas causes 20% of the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect occurs naturally to some extents to keep the earth’s habitable condition necessarily warm enough for the life existence. But since the beginning of the revolutionary industrial world, the ratio of carbon dioxide and the methane gas in the Earth’s atmosphere has risen high, resulting in the increase of the world’s average temperature.

 

 Factors contributing in global warming:

With the rise of urban life, burning of the fuels of the vehicle and factories and deforestation has contributed a lot in global warming by emitting the dangerous gases. This created the disastrous   Impact on the ecosystem in the form of storms; floods, tsunami, and drought etc. The carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere causes more evaporation of the water. Water vapor already being the greenhouse gas accelerates the warming and makes more water vapors to evaporate, leading to an immense rise in the temperature. This rise in the temperature causes vast glaciers of the world to melt and subsequently cause the floods, irregular rainfall and cyclones. It has been seen that due to global warming, glaciers considered as permanent glaciers have also started to melt.

 

Major concerns of global warming:

Global warming is also causing the sea level to rise high up and it’s a major concern for ecologists. Major common concerns are as discussed below.

Rise in sea level:

Due to irregular rain pattern and melting of ice glaciers, many cities in the coastal areas are on the brink of getting submerged under the sea. And many islands are supposed to become completely vanished from the earth’s surface in near future.

 

Health disease and malnutrition:

A rise in temperature leads to airborne disease. Besides, the ultraviolet radiation due to global warming is causing many skin diseases at the other place. Secondly, severe sort of drought has become frequent and the starvation is also a concerning phenomenon in many countries of the world due to global warming.

 

Poor farming:

The unusual changes in the temperature also have adverse effects on the world’s agriculture and crops.

How to control global warming:

The increasing threats caused by global warming have forced the entire world to chalk out plans and actions to avert the coming threats. States have designed laws to prevent the deforestation. But, more is needed to do. More trees should be planted; recycle or renewable products should be used. Thermal power should be used for generating electricity. Transportation should be shared to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. We should promote Eco-friendly-technologies as a replacement of greenhouse gas emitting technologies; painting the roof-top and road in white can also contribute in reducing the global effects. By our individual and mutual cooperation on the massive scale, we can reduce the global warming that is an alarming issue for the whole ecosystem. 

Recycling can be beneficial in many ways

Recycling is undoubtedly the finest way to solve all the environmental related issues. The coolest thing about recycling is that it is not only beneficial for both the natural environment but also for us. However, working strictly on recycling is not child’s play and we have to burn midnight oil for this process to click more and more across every corner of the world.

Most of us are really aware of why recycling is important and that is why a consistent effort is always going on when it comes to recycling the existing products. The beneficial aspect is that you end up getting so many products from recycled materials. In order to purchase products that are made from recycled materials, try to look for a recycling symbol and thus you will do the environment a good favor if you do so.

With the passage of time, manufacturers are striving to find new ways to manufacture items that are recyclable. However, due to a scarcity of resources, it is sometimes really difficult to manufacture these items at the desired level. However, by making a nice purchase decision, everything can be sorted out in the best possible way. In addition, companies should also make these products according to the desired demand.

Recycling will bring about more changes in the environment and also brings with itself more responsibility among folks as far as coming up with the environmental factors are concerned. Some of the recent studies have revealed that people who are dedicated to the cause of environment always tend to buy items that are environmentally friendly, however, the lack in availability make it difficult for them to get these products. Moreover, users also have some issues as far as disposing of the packaging of products is concerned after using it. The best part of these buying recycled products is that folks also save a considerable amount of money apart from preserving the environment.

Along with environmental benefits, recycling brings with itself bundles of employment opportunities. As far as disposing wastes are concerned, all the contents are filtered out and are taken to recycling plants. By having a look at all this process, the manpower that is mainly involved in the carriage of waste help in creating so many jobs that is a good sign for the welfare of their families. The economics experts are of the opinion that the increasing recycling trend is the reason why so many jobs are created across different countries of the world.
