Sponge grounds were later found elsewhere in the Northeast Atlantic [3] and in the Northwest Atlantic, [4] as well as near Antarctica. [1] They are now known from many other places worldwide and recognized as key marine habitats. [5] Sponge grounds are important habitats supporting diverse ecosystems.
The Earth's outer core is liquid, but it is liquid metal, not rock. [257] The Amazon rainforest does not provide 20% of Earth's oxygen. This is a misinterpretation of a 2010 study which found that approximately 34% of photosynthesis by terrestrial plants occurs in tropical rainforests (so the Amazon rainforest would account for approximately ...
Earth has a lot of water. It’s almost like we’re hoarding the stuff for a not so rainy day. All of that water is more or less the defining feature of our planet when seen from a distance, but ...
This chain of sponge reefs is the largest known biostructure to have ever existed on Earth. [6] The sponge reefs declined throughout the Cretaceous period as coral and rudist reefs were becoming prominent. [6] It is theorized that the spread of diatoms may have been detrimental to the sponges, as diatoms compete with hexactinellid sponges for ...

A total of 30 pilot sponge cities were selected in 2015 and 2016. By last year, only 64 of China's 654 cities had produced legislation to implement sponge city guidelines, researchers said in January.
They then tested the sponge in four different water samples, taken from irrigation water, pond water, lake water and sea water, and found it removed up to 99.9% of microplastics, according to a ...
This results in a profitable family business which conforms to traditional discourses of "family farms", increasing the likelihood of sea sponge aquaculture adoption. In addition, it is common for sea sponge farms to be located close to family homes allowing for continual access, monitoring, modification and work to be completed on the farm. [6]
