Potential microbial bioindicators of phosphorus mining in a temperate deciduous forest

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2020
The soil microbial community plays a critical role in increasing phosphorus (P) availability in low‐P, weathered soils by “mining” recalcitrant organic P through the production of phosphatase enzymes.

Bioindication: The I.A.P. Approach

2002
The symbiosis between algae and fungi enables lichens to colonise various apparently hostile places, like high mountains and deserts. However, the sensitive balance between the symbiotic partners can be easily disturbed, as lichens are generally sensitive to environmental alteration such as changes in air humidity (forestry, urbanisation) and air ...

Understanding what bioindicators are actually indicating: Linking disturbance responses to ecological traits of dung beetles and ants

, 2020
Biological responses to a disturbance can vary among taxa, which challenges the use of bioindicators for representing biodiversity responses more broadly.

Marine bivalves as bioindicators for environmental pollutants with focus on dumped munitions in the sea: A review.

Marine Environmental Research, 2020
The seas worldwide are threatened by a "new" source of pollution. Munitions dumped into the seas worldwide will corrode and start to leak. Their impacts on the environment and on human health are now more than ever subject of scientific research ...

Ornamental plants as sinks and bioindicators

Environmental Technology, 2013
Mitigation of urban air pollution is a big challenge, especially for the metropolitan cities of the world. In an Indian metropolis like Delhi, even after the implementation of several control policies, no such remarkable change has been observed in its air quality.

Marine Crustaceans as Bioindicators: Amphipods as Case Study

, 2020
A bioindicator species can be defined as “an organism that provides information on the environmental conditions of its habitat by its presence or absence, and its behavior.” In this sense, crustaceans present many biological and ecological ...

Bioindicators of Pesticide Contaminations

2020
Reducing the economic losses caused by pests, and for improving crop yields, use of pesticides in agriculture is imperative. The continuous use of pesticides in the environment is of great concern as some of them are highly persistant and causes harmful impact on non-target organisms.

Mahseer: A Bioindicator Teleost

UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2023
Mahseers, known as the king of rivers, are among the largest carp and a valuable group of freshwater fish in Asia. The word Mahseer has its origins in Bengal; the two root words, Maha, mean greatness and Seer, means mouth or head; literally, it means having a strong and large head. The range of these fish is across the entire Indian subcontinent. There

Foraminifera as bioindicators of water quality: The FoRAM Index revisited.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Coral reefs worldwide are degrading at alarming rates due to local and global stressors. There are ongoing needs for bioindicator systems that can be used to assess reef health status, the potential for recovery following destructive events such as ...
