environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area
gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...
Predictability of ecosystem engineering effects on species richness across environmental variability and spatial scales
1 The effect of physical ecosystem engineering – structurally mediated modification of the abiotic environment by organisms – on species richness and composition probably depends on the area of observation and environmental context. 2 We develop specific hypotheses to evaluate how such effects will vary with spatial scale and environmental variability, and test these hypotheses by examining the...
متن کاملThe Effects of Environmental Contamination in an Artificial Ecosystem
Although Artificial Life has been a field of Computer Science for nearly twenty years, it seems that the majority of research is concerned with “what is inevitable in the open-ended evolution of life”, as outlined in Mark Bedau’s Open Problems in Artificial Life [3]. Bedau also suggests that the environment in which the artificially alive organisms are contained needs to be observed. This paper...
متن کاملEcosystem Model for Environmental Applications
This paper aims to build a system based on fuzzy models that can be implemented in the assessment of ecological systems, to determine appropriate methods of action for reducing adverse effects on environmental and implicit the population. The model proposed provides new perspective for environmental assessment, and it can be used as a practical instrument for decision – making. Keywords—Ecosyst...
متن کاملEnvironmental accounting for ecosystem conservation: Linking societal and ecosystem metabolisms
This paper proposes an approach to environmental accounting useful for studying the feasibility of socio-economic systems in relation to the external constraints posed by ecological compatibility. The approach is based on a multi-scale analysis of the metabolic pattern of ecosystems and societies and it provides an integrated characterization of the resulting interaction. The text starts with a...
