An overview is provided of the observed and potential future responses of zooplankton communities to global warming. The researcher begins by describing the importance of zooplankton in ocean ecosystems and the attributes that make them sensitive beacons of climate change. Global warming may have even greater repercussions for marine ecosystems than for terrestrial ecosystems, because temperature influences water column stability, nutrient enrichment, and the degree of new production, and thus the abundance, size composition, diversity, and trophic efficiency of zooplankton.

An evaluation of disasters in the form of landslides and floods is presented. The study has been carried out in the perspective of nonlinearity, chaos and the complexity of their management.

Three trees, including Cassia siamea (Cassia), Azadirachta indica (Neem), Holoptelia integrifolia (Holoptelia)belonging to three different families were identified from a manganese mine tailing dump. Manganese content in dump soil and in the stem, green leaves and dry, fallen leaves of the plants was determined. Values were compared with similar samples collected from normal vegetation.

The most outstanding feature of the River Ganga is that it offers uncommon environmental diversity, impressive scenery, and an outstanding adventurous and wilderness experience. All these attributes contribute towards wild land-based recreation. The objective of this article is to assess the environmental and socio-cultural impacts of camping and white-water rafting on this river. This article has largely relied on primary survey and secondary data collected from different government departments.

The present study offers essential base-line data on forest ecosystem dynamics following disturbance, which might help in the redevelopment or reconstruction of degraded forests.

We have all heard tales of frogs, toads and fish raining from the heavens: these are rare events triggered by freak weather.

Hunkering down is the safe option if leaving home is risky, but it's a strategy that could leave you out on an evolutionary limb.

With creationists arguing over its formation, and lengthy disputes over land rights, the Grand Canyon has often been the focus of controversy.
