Extractions: You are here: Home Environmental Issues Biodiversity by Anup Shah The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, micro organisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. Almost all cultures have in some way or form recognized the importance that nature, and its biological diversity has had upon them and the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Who Cares?

Annual Report Appendices Environmental Biology We are studying fundamental aspects of plant growth and adaptive responses to environmental stresses and environmental variation, including global climate change. We seek to identify how plants sense variations in their environments, how this information is transmitted and how it is integrated into responses that impact on plant morphogenesis and architecture, resource acquisition and use for growth. This information will be key to the engineering of plants tailored to specific environments and to an intelligent management of biological diversity in environments of the future.

Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) Home
Does research on landscape and population ecology, coastal science, and global change, particularly within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
http://www.serc.si.edu/

Extractions: T he Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is dedicated to increasing knowledge of the biological and physical processes that sustain life on earth. SERC's interdisciplinary research applies long-term studies to examine the ecological questions about landscapes of linked ecosystems, especially those impacted by human activities. SERC scientists use an experimental approach to discover mechanisms regulating the structure and dynamics of the environment. L ocated on the shore of Chesapeake Bay, SERC uses the geographic features of the nation's largest estuary to investigate interconnections of aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric components of complex landscapes. These studies are then compared on regional, continental and global scales. SERC develops innovative approaches and instrumentation to measure environmental change in four ecological levels: global change; landscape ecology; ecology of coastal ecosystems; and population and community ecology. F or improved stewardship of the biosphere, SERC's research provides data, publications and expert consultation in support of conservation, environmental policy and management of natural resources. Connected to an international network of collaborators, SERC trains future generations of scientists to address ecological questions of the nation and globe. SERC's education programs in ecology demonstrate to the public the active process of research, and infuse scientific approaches for environmental issues through experiencing nature.

Extractions: It is sometimes hard to visualize patterns of environmental changeincluding causes and effects of changein our own neighborhoods or states. It is harder still for most people to imagine changes that occur on a continental or global scale.

GCTE Focus 3 Soil Erosion Network
Objectives of the Soil Erosion Network are to design and undertake experimental and monitoring programmes of soil erosion and to refine and adapt soil erosion models for use in studies of environmental and climate change. Useful list of links to other soil erosion sites is included.
http://mwnta.nmw.ac.uk/GCTEFocus3/networks/erosion.htm

Extractions: Activity 3.3 and other Soils Components Introduction and Rationale S oil erosion is a very widespread phenomenon, and is usually irreversible. Once the nutrient-rich surface soil has been lost, the ability to sustain plant growth is severely reduced, and increased runoff from the more impermeable subsoil results in a decrease in plant-available water. Furthermore, erosion brings various associated "off-site" problems, including reduced water quality from increased sediment loads and poorer air quality due to dust. T he severity, frequency and extent of erosion will be altered by changes in rainfall amount and intensity, and by changes in wind. Global change will thus amplify many current problems of soil erosion, and as certain soil thresholds are exceeded, potentially new and different problems could arise. It is therefore crucial to understand the potential impacts of global change on soils to allow the developments in predictive capability necessary to improve their management in the future. The GCTE Soil Erosion Network is dedicated to this goal, and forms a key component of GCTEs' soil research. Objectives To design and undertake experimental and monitoring programmes to provide a predictive understanding of the impacts of changes in climate and land-use on soil erosion.
Watertown Citizens For Environmental Safety
A nonprofit group encouraging citizen involvement in local environmental and safety issues, as well as local action for global change in social justice and peace.
http://watertowncitizens.org/

Extractions: Watertown Citizens for Environmental Safety (WCES) is a grassroots group formed in Watertown, Massachusetts in 1979, in reaction to the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, in the belief that local citizens need to monitor the local environment. In the early 1980's, we became Watertown's nuclear freeze group, and we have continued to work on projects that promote environmental safety and sound environmental practices in Watertown, and to support projects which the group judges to promote social justice, world peace, and global security. Over the years, our members have been particularly active, and known in the community, for our participation in the reuse planning and environmental restoration of the Watertown Arsenal, and for our annual commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima. Several other local groups including The Recycling Committee, The El Tremedal Sister City Group, and Trees for Watertown began as projects of WCES. We are a member of the Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN) and Boston-area United with Justice for Peace, and we often support projects of Mass Peace Action, MassPIRG and the Toxics Action Center.
