Microcosm experiments can inform global ecological problems.
Global-scale environmental problems are rarely regarded as amenable to traditional scientific experiment. We argue here that small-scale experiments using 'model organisms' in microcosms or mesocosms can be a useful approach for apparently intractable global problems, such as ecosystem responses to climate change or managing biodiversity through the design of nature reserves. An experimental, s...
متن کاملAquatic persistence of eight pharmaceuticals in a microcosm study.
The persistence of eight pharmaceuticals from multiple classes was studied in aquatic outdoor field microcosms. A method was developed for the determination of a mixture of acetaminophen, atorvastatin, caffeine, carbamazepine, levofloxacin, sertraline, sulfamethoxazole, and trimethoprim at microg/L levels from surface water of the microcosms using solid phase extraction and high-performance liq...
متن کاملEcological changes in oral microcosm biofilm during maturation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ecological changes in the biofilm at different stages of maturation using 16S rDNA gene amplicon sequencing and to identify correlations between red/green (R/G) fluorescence ratio and ecological changes. An oral microcosm biofilm was initiated from the saliva of a single donor and grown anaerobically for up to 10 days in basal medium mucin. Quantitative...
متن کاملDecision Support System for the assessment and evaluation of ecological impacts on aquatic ecosystems: objectives and framework
The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), establishing stringent quality objectives for European basins in the next years, prompts for the development of new tools to evaluate and improve the ecological status over European rivers. The present paper will provide an overview of the main activities carried out in the DECIS subproject within MODELKEY, an European research project, funded by the Euro...
متن کاملEvaluation of Heavy Metal Contamination and Ecological Risk Assessment in Sediments of Karun using Aquatic Pollution Indices
Background & Aims of the Study: The current study was designed to determine the quality of sediments in Karun in Ahvaz, Iran, according to aquatic pollution indices. Materials and Methods: The sediment samples were obtained from six river stations in summer and winter. The sediment samples were air-dried, sifted, homogenized, and stored in plastic bags, and the concentrations of metals were...
