47. Fluvial Discharge Of Silicate To The Oceans we have accumulated a database for more than 1500 rivers, which collectively representmore than 85 percent of the total land area draining into the oceans. http://data.ecology.su.se/scopesi/fluvdisch.htm

Fluvial Discharge of Silicate to the Oceans: A Global Perspective John D. Milliman and Katherine L. Farnsworth School of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, Gloucester Point, VA 23062, USA Abstract Over the past 20 years we have accumulated a database for more than 1500 rivers, which collectively represent more than 85 percent of the total land area draining into the oceans. As such, this unique database affords us a unique opportunity to quantify and assess fluvial fluxes to the oceans from both regional and global perspectives. At present rivers discharge approximately 35,000 km of freshwater to the global ocean; another 3000 km /yr are assumed to be contained in reservoirs behind dams. Subtracting this total from meteorologic runoff (precipitation minus evaporation: 39,700 km /yr), groundwater flux to the global ocean would be 2000 km /yr. By virtue of high meteorologic runoff, monsoonal climate, and large cumulative drainage area, the rivers draining southeast Asia and the high-standing islands of Oceania (including New Zealand, Indonesia and the Philippines) collectively contribute about 30% of the global freshwater flux, with northeastern South America (primarily the Amazon and Orinoco rivers) discharging another 25%. Suspended sediment discharge to the oceans is much more difficult to estimate, since the sediment load for any river depends on a number of highly variable factors, such as basin area, topography, climate, geology, landuse, etc. Tropical and sub-tropical rivers are particularly susceptible to high rates of erosion due since they drain high-standing, geologically young mountains, are influenced by a monsoonal climate, and their often small basin areas mean that they are more responsive to periodic events and that relatively little sediment is stored along their river courses. A first-order estimate indicates that rivers draining southern Asia and Oceania account for at least 75% of the sediment discharged annually to the oceans (estimated to be about 18.6 x 10

(It) manages to highlight (aquatic environments) in a way that...impart(s) genuine understanding to the...reader." Forestry A fascinating new scientific work that discusses the role wood plays in very complex and diverse aquatic ecosystems. Wood in streams and rivers is a source of food energy for invertebrates. Along coastlines, wood stabilizes sand pits, beaches, and dune complexes. The loss of wood to aquatic ecosystems means destabilization. This subject is extremely important in the ecologically fragile times we live in now. Includes 70 illustrations. Key Features: Wood as a source of valuable food energy for invertebrate organisms Obligatory, wood-boring marine invertebrates and the breaking down of wood and the useable carbon created Creation of new habitats for innertidal organisms and the coastal food chain The destabilization of streams, estuaries, dunes, and beaches when wood is lost to aquatic ecosystems

Just a click of your mouse could take you to the answer you are looking for! If you still have questions about ecology, click on this link to ask an ecologist your question. What is ecology? What is a biome? What is an ecosystem? What is a food chain/food web? ... What are abiotic and biotic factors that effect populations? What is ecology? Ecology is the study of organisms and their relationship with their surroundings. Specifically, ecologists study the interaction between an organism and its environment. An example would be the earth and us (humans). Some ecologists study this. Some ecologists study a specific species or habitat. They might study the behavior of a single species to see how it interacts with other organisms and the environment. Or, an ecologist might study many different species that either depend on each other (a food web, for example), or compete with each other for food and space. There are many fields of ecology with lots of things still to be discovered.

What is "BENTHOS"? The word BENTHOS derives from the greek benqws (engl. "ocean depth, thicket") and is used as a scientific term for all organisms occuring on or in the bottom of aquatic habitats (oceans, lakes, rivers). Benthic communities comprise species differing in terms of their ecology, life strategies, and body size: Mikrobenthos - organisms smaller than 0.06 mm; e.g. bacteria and unicellular animals and plants (protists), colonizing preferentially the suface of sediment grains Meiobenthos - organisms between 0.06 and 1 mm; e.g. Thread Worms (Nematoda) and small copepods (Copepoda Harpacticioidea), living especially in the interstices between sediment grains Makrobenthos - organisms larger than 1 mm, i.e. that are visible by the naked eye; mainly invertebrate animals, e.g. Bristleworms (Polychaeta), bivalves (Bivalvia) and echinoderms (Echinodermata), living either on the sea floor ( Epibenthos ) or buried in the bottom ( Endobenthos Generally, benthic communities are much more diverse in terms of species richness than those of the mid and surface water layers (the so-called

Olympic National Park Ecologies Lowland Forest Subalpine Alpine River ... Rain Forest Western Hemlock Zone The lowland forest grows further inland from the coast, and above the rain forest valleys. You will not find Sitka spruce here, but you may see grand fir. Western hemlock will probably be the most common tree, although stands of Douglas-fir may prevail where fire or drier conditions caused by the rain shadow give these trees an advantage. Western redcedar is never an abundant tree, but its gradual disappearance is a true indicator that the upper limits of this zone have been reached. This zone starts at lower elevations and extends up to about 2,000 feet, or where the silver fir zone begins. Dominant tree species within this zone include Douglas-fir and western hemlock, with western redcedar, grand fir, red alder, and big leaf maple also occurring within this zone. Unlike some other areas of the park, low-elevation stands around Lake Crescent also contain madrone, Pacific dogwood and Douglas maple. In very old stands, the dominant species includes western hemlock and western redcedar. Analysis of digital (GIS) data indicates that the majority of the watershed falls into this zone. Common shrubs include salal, Oregon grape, red huckleberry, Alaska huckleberry, rose and salmonberry. Herbaceous plants include swordfern, deerfern, twinflower, violet, vanillaleaf, trillium, and foamflower (Henderson et al. 1989).
