PPT-9 Sustaining Biodiversity:

Saving Species and Ecosystem Services Bees play a key role in pollination Globally about one third of the food supply comes from insectpollinated plants Currently agriculture depends heavily on a single species of bee. To overcome this constraint Andean people have always had to be strategic to ensure that they have enough food and enough of the right kinds of food Instead of fighting the restrictions that their location and climate impose on food production they Agricultural biodiversity includes ecosystems animals plants and microorganisms related to food and agriculture Today most species of crops and domesticated livestock are the result of thousands of years of human intervention such as selective breed How .

Our hypothesis was that if there is a change from freshwater to saltwater, then the tidal plant species in each area will differ. The data collected from our experiment helped support our hypothesis. In our findings we saw that in the freshwater location, there was a greater amount of biodiversity and the plants were generally larger. On the other hand, we saw that in the saltwater location, the banks had less biodiversity and consisted with only Phragmites. One explanation for this is for the fact that the abundance of freshwater in the freshwater location allowed for a large variety of large plants to live in this area. However, only a thin layer of freshwater on the surface of the water was present at the saltwater location, which minimized the diversity of plant life that could live in this area. This minimized the competition in this area, allowing it to be overrun by Phragmites plants. . Industrial Heritage . Sites. Ian . Bapty. , Industrial Heritage Support Officer, . Ironbridge.
