Chemical Scientists Develop Natural Pest Repellent Using Scent of Predatory Insects
American Chemical Society scientists said that they were able to replicate the “smell of fear” emitted by predator insects when preying on harmful plant bugs. The bottled concoction can be introduced as natural repellents against plant pests, since most bugs have become immune to traditional pesticides. However, they recognize the smell of predatory insects in […]
Earth Institute Researchers Warn that Fish Biodiversity is Now on a Decline
Researchers from Columbia University’s Earth Institute conducted a study on various wild fish species that are usually eaten as a dish in the Peruvian Amazon. However, the study findings show that if the depletion of fish biodiversity continues in the area, people could experience major nutritional shortages. According to the study, substitute fish sources like […]
Sea Level Rise and Land Subsidence Explain Massive Flooding Incidents
Massive floods are taking place in coastal areas across the globe, which scientists explain as to due rising sea levels in combination with land subsidence. According to a report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), sea levels in coastal areas have been rising at a rate that is four times faster […]
Global Warming Worsening Due To Low Oxygen Levels in Reservoirs and Lakes
Currently a widespread occurrence of low oxygen concentrations in reservoirs and lakes worldwide has been generating methane that is worsening global warming. Yet while reservoirs and lakes from around the world have been facing a decrease in oxygen concentration in their lowermost layers due to land use, such occurrences are also due to climate change. […]
Climate Change Effects that Result to Deadlier Fire Seasons
While the U.S. is supposed to experience only fall, winter, spring and summer seasons, the effects of climate change created another period called fire season. The period happens between summer and fall, and when climate conditions are in the warmest; whilst drying out and turning forest matters into highly flammable materials. During fire seasons, […]
Horse Racing Environmental Concerns : What the EPA Identified as Problems
Horse racing hasn’t lost its attraction as a traditional sports and entertainment, yet communities that have race traxks, harbor certain environmental concerns. It was only decades later when it was learned that horse wastes, particularly manure, caused detrimental impact on land and water. There was a time when racetrack operators cleaned stalls and […]
Sea-Level Rise Also Natural Says Study
Researchers at the University of York found proof that natural causes partly led to sea-level rises in the North American Atlantic coast during the 18th century. Their research unraveled facts indicating that sea levels in Connecticut, Maine and Nova Scotia rose to about two (2) to three (3) millimetres every year at the height of […]
