What did early Europeans eat? Scientists analyzed plaque on the teeth of Europeans who lived from 8,000 to 2,000 years ago. Results show diet was heavily reliant on seaweed.
Factors influencing the spatio-temporal dynamics of plankton communities in small tropical lakes are not well understood. This study assessed plankton communities in response to spatial and seasonal (wet vs dry seasons) changes in environmental variables in Lake Kanyaboli, a small satellite lake on the northern shores of Lake Victoria, Kenya. Water quality variables, including pH, conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, Secchi depth (SD), nitrates (NO3-), nitrites (NO2-), ammonium (NH4+), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), were monitored monthly at six sites spread throughout the lake for one year. Phytoplankton and zooplankton samples were collected and analyzed for taxon composition and abundance. Two-way ANOVA showed no significant interaction between site and season for all variables, except Chl-a. A t-test showed significant seasonal differences in SD, DO, NH4+, NO3-, NO2- and TN. Thirty phytopla
algae crackers with an algae homo step go green is the slogan of a movement championing lots of chlorophyll in food the pigment is said to vitalize the body. for example in this soft drink. see what s over fifty percent of this very tiny micro algae is made up of protein and that becomes especially interesting when you think about how we re going to supply eight to ten billion people with protein in the future. this farm in the state of saxony unhealed in eastern germany grows the trendy freshwater algae the water filled system of glass tubes is five hundred kilometers long. this is a stimulus big systems can be setup where conventional farming isn t possible here we can have agriculture even with no fertile soil considering how fast the algae grows it shows enormous potential specially since it contains all the nutrients we
