Heavy Metals British Isles
1,130 wordsZinc hyper accumulation in Thlaspi caerulescens as a chemical defence against herbivore ABSTRACT Thlaspi caerulescens is one of several plant species known to accumulate heavy metals in excess of 2 % of their above ground plant biomass. The reasons for hyper accumulation are unknown, but several studies conclude that it may be a plant chemical defence. This has been of interest to biologists because these metals are usually toxic.

Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen Burning Of Fossil Fuels
1,264 wordsWhat is Acid Rain? Acid rain is a form of precipitation that falls to the earth as rain. For rain to be acidic it has a pH level of less than 5. 6. The corrosive nature of acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment.

Ice Storm Carbon Dioxide
2,121 wordsINTRODUCTION Ice storms, also referred to as glaze storms, cause considerable damage every year to trees in urban and natural areas. They vary considerably in their severity and frequency. Ice storms are result of the ice formation process, which is influenced by general weather patterns. Ice accumulates when super cooled rain freezes on contact with surfaces, such as tree branches, that are at or below the freezing point (0 C). This generally occurs when a winter warm front passes through an ar...

Plants Food Seeds
388 wordsPlants give us lots of things including oxygen, foods, and medicines. Plants need things like water, light, and air. The amount of daylight affects their growth. Plants also need food, just like we do. The different parts of a plant help it make food. Some plants cross-pollinate. These plants have male (the stamen), or female (the carpel) parts. Wind and water sometimes scatter the pollen, but insects do most of the work. Other plants pollinate themselves. A new plant is born from a seed. The se...
