Pesticides: a Hazard to Nature's Equilibrium.
MY ASSIGNMENT is to deal with pesticides as a threat to nature's equilibrium. Others have told what is good about pesticides, and I shall not try to defend them further. Neither shall I consider the unfortunate side effects of pesticides on esthetic grounds, nor the poisoning of man, domestic animals, and game. These effects could, at least in theory, be prevented by careful and responsible use...
متن کاملPesticides reduce regional biodiversity of stream invertebrates.
The biodiversity crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, but our understanding of the drivers remains limited. Thus, after decades of studies and regulation efforts, it remains unknown whether to what degree and at what concentrations modern agricultural pesticides cause regional-scale species losses. We analyzed the effects of pesticides on the regional taxa richness of strea...
متن کاملHazard Assessment of Desertification as a Result of Soil and Water Recourse Degradation in Kashan Region, Iran
Desertification in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions is a global environmental problem. Considering theincreasing importance of desertification and its complexity, the necessity of giving attention to desertification criteria andindices is essential. Models and methods such as MEDALUS, UNEP-FAO, and others have been proposed on local andnational scales. In this research, IMDPA was selec...
متن کاملSoil invertebrates as bioindicators of urban soil quality.
This study aimed at relating the abundance and diversity of invertebrate communities of urban soils to chemical and physical soil characteristics and to identify the taxa most sensitive or tolerant to soil stressors. The invertebrate community of five urban soils in Naples, Italy, was sampled. To assess soil quality invertebrate community indices (Shannon, Simpson, Menhinick and Pielou indices)...
متن کاملEffects and risk assessment of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates in agricultural soil. 3. Sublethal effects on soil invertebrates.
Sewage sludge applied to agricultural soils often contains considerable amounts of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS). Toxic effects of LAS on soil organisms should, therefore. be evaluated to ensure safe use of sewage sludge as a fertilizer. In this study, dose-response relationships for the toxicity of Na-LAS to six species of soil invertebrates (survival, reproduction, and growth) were est...
