Dead zones are often accompanied by a decrease in biodiversity and collapse in benthic populations, lowering the diversity of yield in commercial fishing operations, but in cases of eutrophication-related dead zone formations, the increase in nutrient availability can lead to temporary rises in select yields among pelagic populations, such as ...
A dead zone is an area of water that cannot sustain aquatic life because the oxygen levels are low or depleted. The scientific term for a dead zone is called hypoxia, which in Latin means "too ...
Also Gause's law. A biological rule which states that two species cannot coexist in the same environment if they are competing for exactly the same resource, often memorably summarized as "complete competitors cannot coexist". coniferous forest One of the primary terrestrial biomes, culminating in the taiga. conservation biology The study of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting and ...
An ecoregion (ecological region) is an ecologically and geographically defined area that is smaller than a bioregion, which in turn is smaller than a biogeographic realm. Ecoregions cover relatively large areas of land or water, and contain characteristic, geographically distinct assemblages of natural communities and species .
(NOAA/LUMCON/LSU) A "dead zone," or an area of low to no oxygen, in the Gulf of Mexico has grown larger than Connecticut, creating an uninhabitable environment for some commercial marine life, and ...
A 'dead zone' off the Gulf coast is larger than NOAA predicted. The massive area poses danger to marine life, and recovery could take decades. A 'dead zone' is growing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Dead zone (cell phone), an area where cell phones cannot transmit to a nearby cell site Dead zone (ecology) , low-oxygen areas in the world's oceans Dead band , the region of insensitivity of a system
Every spring, an area appears when the water doesn't have enough oxygen to support fish and other marine life.
