Phytoextraction of Cd-Contaminated Soils: Current Status and Future Challenges
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic and widely distributed pollutants in the environment. Cadmium contamination of soils has posed a serious threat to safe food production in many parts of the world. The authors present a comprehensive review of present status of phytoextraction technology for cleaning up Cd-contaminated soils, based primarily on the data resulting from both laboratory and fi...
متن کاملIntraspecific diversity and ecological zonation in coral-algal symbiosis.
All reef-building corals are obligately associated with photosynthetic microalgal endosymbionts called zooxanthellae. Zooxanthella taxonomy has emphasized differences between species of hosts, but the possibility of ecologically significant zooxanthella diversity within hosts has been the subject of speculation for decades. Analysis of two dominant Caribbean corals showed that each associates w...
متن کاملThe direct and ecological costs of an ant-plant symbiosis.
How strong is selection for cheating in mutualisms? The answer depends on the type and magnitude of the costs of the mutualism. Here we investigated the direct and ecological costs of plant defense by ants in the association between Cordia nodosa, a myrmecophytic plant, and Allomerus octoarticulatus, a phytoecious ant. Cordia nodosa trees produce food and housing to reward ants that protect the...
متن کاملEcological Studies of Symbiosis in Convoluta roscoff ensis
The size of the Convoluta roscoffensis population on a beach in Herm, Channel Islands is subject to wide seasonal variation, being very low in early summer and high in autumn and winter. Of the ecological factors measured, only light -expressed a s photosynthetically active radiation showed a correlation with population size. Low worm numbers, and also low numbers of algae and chlorophyll a con...
متن کاملThree Logistic Models for the Ecological and Economic Interactions: Symbiosis, Predator-Prey and Competition
If one isolated species (corporation) is supposed to evolve following the logistic mapping, then we are tempted to think that the dynamics of two species (corporations) can be expressed by a coupled system of two discrete logistic equations. As three basic relationships between two species are present in Nature, namely symbiosis, predator-prey and competition, three different models are obtaine...
