Anthropogenic impact on water chemistry and benthic macroinvertebrate associated changes in a southern Nigeria stream.
The Ogba River in southern Nigeria is an important water resource for its riparian communities. This study evaluates impact of anthropogenic influences on the Ogba River using water chemistry and macroinvertebrate data sets obtained over a period of 6 months between January and June 2012. Four stations, stations 1-4, characterised by various human activities were chosen along the river. Organic...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولLand use influences macroinvertebrate community composition in boreal headwaters through altered stream conditions
Land use is known to alter the nature of land-water interactions, but the potential effects of widespread forest management on headwaters in boreal regions remain poorly understood. We evaluated the importance of catchment land use, land cover, and local stream variables for macroinvertebrate community and functional trait diversity in 18 boreal headwater streams. Variation in macroinvertebrate...
متن کاملResource–consumer diversity: testing the effects of leaf litter species diversity on stream macroinvertebrate communities
1. Understanding relationships between resource and consumer diversity is essential to predicting how changes in resource diversity might affect several trophic levels and overall ecosystem functioning. 2. We tested for the effects of leaf litter species diversity (i.e. litter mixing) on litter mass remaining and macroinvertebrate communities (taxon diversity, abundance and biomass) during brea...
متن کاملImpacts of Human-mediated Stressors on Wetland Plant Community Development
Human activities in terrestrial landscapes, such as agriculture or urban development, often result in stressors, which can subsequently alter wetland ecosystem properties and plant community development. A complication to our understanding of plant community responses to stressors is the variation in stressor impact across wetlands of different hydrogeomorphic (HGM) subclasses. HGM classificati...
