Plants as ecosystem engineers in subsurface-flow treatment wetlands.
Mass balance performance data from side by side studies of planted and unplanted gravel-bed treatment wetlands with horizontal subsurface-flow are compared. Planted systems showed enhanced nitrogen and initial phosphorus removal, but only small improvements in disinfection, BOD, COD and suspended solids removal. Direct nutrient uptake by plants was insufficient to account for more than a fracti...
متن کاملA mathematical model of plants as ecosystem engineers.
Understanding the structure and dynamics of plant communities in water-limited systems often calls for the identification of ecosystem engineers--key species that modify the landscape, redistribute resources and facilitate the growth of other species. Shrubs are excellent examples; they self-organize to form patterns of mesic patches which provide habitats for herbaceous species. In this paper ...
متن کاملBringing System Engineers and Software Engineers Together
For system development projects, the proportion of the budget allocated to software development has been continually increasing in response to demand for system flexibility and maintainability. As a result, many technical organizations started by mechanical and electrical engineers now find themselves awash with software engineers. As system engineers see it, software people have different ways...
متن کاملBacteria as control engineers.
Bacteria encounter fluctuations in both their external and internal environments, and to manage these conditions, they employ various control mechanisms. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Hart et al. (2011) investigate how E. coli robustly controls nitrogen assimilation.
