A Study on Eco-Physiology of Spirulina in Relation to some Environmental Parameters
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 3
Physico-chemical characteristics of Surajkund water body in Varanasi (UP) were monitored. High levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), potassium (K) and sodium (Na) indicated that pond was eutrophic. However, contrast to nitrate, ammonia-nitrogen was high in summer and low in winter. The high concentrations of sodium in summer stimulated uptake and transport of CO2 and HCO3...

Agriculturally used Wetlands in Kenya and Tanzania: Characterization Based on Soil and Water Resources Availability
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 2
Wetlands in Eastern Africa present an important and so far largely undocumented potential in terms of area and agricultural production. This potential is linked to the availability of water and the quality of soil resources. This study characterized representative wetlands and categorizes their diversity based on soil, hydrology and socio-economic attributes. A multidisciplinary regional...
