Study Notes
Eutrophication
- Eutrophication is the process of excessive nutrient accumulation in water bodies, leading to overgrowth of aquatic plants and depletion of oxygen, causing harm to aquatic life.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
- Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by microorganisms to break down organic matter in water.
Photochemical Smog
- The main component of photochemical smog is ground-level ozone, a toxic gas formed through the reaction of sunlight, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
Deforestation and Rainfall
- Deforestation generally decreases rainfall, as forests absorb and recycle water, and their removal disrupts the water cycle, leading to reduced precipitation.
Alpha Diversity
- Alpha diversity refers to the variety of different species within a particular community or ecosystem, measuring the richness of species in a specific area.
