Sep 11, 2015 · Effect on plant growth. Water is the largest component of plants, typically composing 70–95% of fresh plant mass and providing shape and rigidity by positive turgor pressure. Turgor pressure also drives cell elongation. Water is the transport medium for moving nutrients from the soil into the plant.

Since human health concerns continue to drive the development and application of bioindicators, the loss of ecosystem services (e.g., clean air, drinking water, plant pollinators) has...
Feb 18, 2022 · Aquatic ecosystems are suffering biodiversity loss and increasingly act as a sink and conduit for anthropogenic pollution. The detailed extent and impact of this remain unclear due to major deficits in our capability, capacity, and willingness to adequately monitor ambient water quality at scale.
Jan 1, 2022 · It is important to control environmental limiting factors to maintain the ecosystem balance. Therefore, positive and negative feedback mechanisms at the habitats are critical control systems. Biomonitoring is a necessary step to observe the ecological effects caused by environmental change.
Jan 27, 2017 · The existence of aquatic species reflects the condition of waters and ecosystems. Aquatic plant species from various families serve as reliable indicators for biological monitoring of aquatic...
Using fine-mesh nets, animal species, such as birds or fish, are captured and then identified. Tagging may also be done on captured species. Or, blood is drawn for genetic analysis.

Efficient sampling protocols can be ensured with a careful field design that incorporates simultaneous collection of indicator measurements. For example, snags and tree density can be sampled simultaneously. Within one plot, data about the trees, understory, wildlife, and soil can be collected at the same time.
