48. Treating Produced Water By Imitating Natural Ecosystems Page
    Investigation into plantbased approaches for treating salty wastewater brought to surface with natural gas from gas wells.  
    http://www.es.anl.gov/htmls/treat.html
    
    Extractions: Problem/Opportunity Produced water is salty wastewater that is brought to the surface during production of natural gas. Although the wastewater's constituents occur naturally, they are considered contaminants and must be treated. Varying widely in concentration, these constituents include salt, organic compounds, and, in some cases, heavy metals and trace elements. A common disposal method is deep well injection; its cost depends on the volume of wastewater injected. What is needed is a simple treatment technique that reduces wastewater volume and removes contaminants. Argonne scientists are investigating several plant-based approaches for treating the salty wastewater that is brought to that surface along with natural gas from gas wells. Approach Argonne has developed a low-cost, low-tech method for cleaning up wastewater and reducing the volume of produced water. Based on phytoremediation, the method uses green plants in an engineered plant ecosystem modeled on natural wetland ecosystems. The "ideal" phytoremediation plant would be a large, vigorous, salt-tolerant grass or grasslike species having a large area of aboveground leaves and stems and a dense, fibrous root system to act as a biological filter. Large, green plants can move copious amounts of water through their roots and into the plant body. This water is evaporated from the leaves as pure water vapor - a process called transpiration. When selected, adapted plants are grown in contaminated wastewater by hydroponic techniques, and the root system functions as a biological filter. Contaminants taken up along with the water are degraded, metabolized, and/or stored in the plant body. Transpiration is enhanced by maximizing the leaf/stem area of the plant. Contaminant concentrations in plants can become thousands of times higher than those in the wastewater. The contaminated plant biomass can be digested or burned to reduce its volume. The residue can be processed to recover the contaminant, if valuable, or disposed of in environmentally appropriate ways.

49. Endangered Ecosystems Of The United States
    Endangered ecosystems of the United States A Preliminary Assessment of Loss and Degradation 1 by. ecosystems as Targets of Conservation.  
    http://biology.usgs.gov/pubs/ecosys.htm
    
    Extractions: We suggest that integrated conservation plans for all ecosystems be developed in each ecoregion of the United States, starting with types and regions that sustained the greatest losses and are at greatest risk of further loss. Conservation plans could be based on detailed studies of ecosystem status and trends and include quantitative analyses of ecosystem decline, ecological consequences of loss and degradation, and current and potential threats to each ecosystem. Ecosystem conservation need not be restricted to pristine sites, which are now almost nonexistent. Rather, management and, where possible, restoration plans for native biodiversity in partially disturbed sites should be considered.

    Extractions: Natural Resource and Livelihoods Information Technology References Contact Since 1992, when Tanzania shed off her socialist past and embraced democracy, there have been gigantic steps taken in the field of development by both Government and Private enterprises. Roads are being built, mineral deposits are being mined, water projects are being reinitiated, agriculture is being expanded, all with renewed zeal and enthusiasm; all with renewed commitment to raising living standards; and all just a bit too fast for appropriate laws and legislations to catch up with; Especially, environmental laws. In Tanzania, we are still operating without environmental laws that bind offenders. Our environmental guidelines are merely that: guidelines, and many choose not to follow them. Many of those who do, do so to fulfil requirements by lending institutions such as the World Bank or the IMF and there is little effort made after the EIA report has been delivered to follow and ensure that the guidelines are being implemented. The future, however, will not continue on the same trend. There are many efforts being made within the Tanzanian Government to finally produce some environmental laws that will require, for example, all developments to undergo an environmental impact assessment. The presence of such laws will force the government and private investors to commit a certain proportion of their investment into ensuring that no detrimental effects are felt by the environment and society within and around the project area. Hopefully, these laws will assist in creating a sense of environmental responsibility in all Tanzanians so that just as a child should not consider it right to discard of a sweet-wrapper inappropriately, neither should an investor find it justified to build a hotel on the greenbelt.

    Extractions: Text Version The geographical isolation of the Hawaiian Islands has resulted in the evolution of a highly endemic biota: approximately 80% of Hawaii's plants, 100% of its forest birds, and 67% of its arthropods are found nowhere else in the world. But human colonization of the Islands has severely impacted native plant and animal populationsmore than 75% of the historically known endemic bird species are now either extinct (23) or endangered (30). Of the nearly 1,300 endemic plant species described from Hawaii, 104 are considered extinct, and 267 of the remaining taxa either are listed or are proposed as endangered or threatened species. The area we work in stretches west and south across most of the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii. It includes many of the islands of the trust territories of Polynesia and Micronesia. It is a geographic area that covers 6 time zones and both sides of the equator. This area is more than twice the size of the contiguous 48 American states. These distances and the isolation of the island systems make it logistically challenging to do our work.

Select your view The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on marine ecosystems. This field should be seen in its widest sense, including both biotic and abiotic aspects of all types of marine and estuarine systems, benthic as well as pelagic. Apart from quality, the main criterion for selection of papers will be whether they contribute to the understanding of the functioning of marine systems. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine geology, marine chemistry, and physical oceanography, provided they are not only descriptive. Although the emphasis is on fundamental research, papers describing important and relevant new techniques, methods and apparatus will also be considered.
