Artificial night light alters ecosystem services provided by biotic components
Biologia Futura, 2021The global catastrophe of natural biodiversity and ecosystem services are expedited with the growing human population. Repercussions of artificial light at night ALAN are much wider, as it varies from unicellular to higher organism. Subsequently, hastened pollution and over exploitation of natural resources accelerate the expeditious transformation of ...

Biotic and Abiotic Components of Marine Ecosystem
2023An aquatic ecosystem is a water-based environment. Aquatic ecosystems include the marine ecosystem and freshwater ecosystems. Two-thirds of the total surface area of the planet is covered by marine water. These ecosystems can be classified into two main categories; i) water/pelagic environment (including; neritic and oceanic zones) and; ii) bottom ...

Persistent Organic Pollutants in Biotic and Abiotic Components of Antarctic Pristine Environment
Earth Systems and Environment, 2018Over the past decades, research in Antarctica has built a new understanding of Antarctica, its past, present and future. Human activities and long-range pollutants are increasing on the Antarctic continent. Research on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been carried out internationally by several countries having their permanent research stations

Heavy Metal Contamination in Biotic Component: A gradual case study in West Bengal
International Journal of Chemical and Environmental Sciences, 2020Fish is a popular human food. Over two-and-a-half billion people globally obtain their daily nutrient intake from fish. In India, it is a major dietary component for over 50 percent, and is a particularly important nutrition source for the poor. Mercury is a deadly environmental pollutant, both in its elemental form and in combination with other ...
