The food chain Worldwide
نویسنده
چکیده
Animal production has moved quite rapidly to a consolidated structure of fewer, larger farms, ranches, and animal feeding units in both developed and developing countries. Driven by economies of scale arising from steady advances in technology, the trend shows no sign of slowing. This new structural concept and features increased concentration of large-scale livestock and specialty crop production in fewer, scattered pockets surrounding existing or emerging marketing and processing centers.

متن کاملAn Analysis on The Lotka-Volterra Food Chain Model: Stability
The food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. In fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. Presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. Classical food chain theory arises from Lotka-Volterra model. In the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. A syst...

متن کاملLead and cadmium accumulation potential and toxicity threshold determined for land cress and spinach
Soil contamination with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in agricultural lands, in part, is responsible for limiting the crop productivity and the food chain contamination. The objective of this study were to asses the limiting of crop productivity by cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), the potential transfer and bioaccumulation of these PTEs in plants, and ultimately the food chain contamination to e...
