Topic: Clear And Muddy Lakes Nature Reserve


  
  Palaeontology - LoveToKnow 1911
As a natural philosopher he radically opposed Cuvier and was distinctly a precursor of uniformitarianism, advocating the hypothesis of slow changes and variations, both in living forms and in their environment.
The ingenuity of nature, however, in adapting animals is not infinite, because the same devices are repeatedly employed by her to accomplish the same adaptive ends whether in fishes, reptiles, birds or mammals; thus she has repeated herself at least twenty-four times in the evolution of long-snouted rapacious swimming types of animals.
The nature of this law, which, upon the whole, appears to be purposive or teleological in its operations, is altogether a mystery which may or may not be illumined by future research.

 Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - fedgazette July 2001 - Knee deep in feedlot feuds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While the total number of feedlots in the nation or our district remains vague (see sidebar), what is clear is that animals—and therefore manure—are being produced on fewer and larger farms, and those larger farms are raising the animals at increasing levels of confinement and concentration.
They also point to more global problems, including greenhouse gases produced by animals and eutrophication of rivers, lakes and, increasingly, the hypoxic “Dead Zone” in the Gulf of Mexico, thought by many to be the result of excess nitrogen runoff from the Mississippi.
But the central question will remain how to ensure that as livestock operations grow larger, they pay the costs of their externalities, either through adherence to sound environmental regulations or even through direct taxation so that municipalities are compensated for the costs they must bear.

 Module 1: The Nature, Purpose and Scope of Coastal and Marine Studies
Although the majority of coastal waterways are estuarine in nature, their upper reaches are often characterised by aquatic and streambank plants that are basically freshwater species with limited salt tolerance.
For those lakes close to high water line, heavy rains and flooding can lead to overflow from the lake and may lead to semi-permanent connections.
In the great majority of dune lakes, salinity is low and the water is typically acidic and humic and characterized by extremely low levels of total dissolved solids, suspended solids and nutrients.

 JS Online: Everyday runoff is today's big polluter
It's called polluted runoff, and it's a big part of the reason that so many streams and lakes are not yet fit for fishing or swimming.
Rainwater was funneled more quickly out of the area, destroying the natural structure of stream channels, washing into streams the gunk on the surfaces, eroding stream banks and flooding downstream areas.

In the case of the Gosport bird it is clear that the person reporting it has his own view of the world as he says that it can be seen in 'Alver Creek' which I have never heard of and which is not marked on the map.
On July 15 I counted around 200 of them on the Portsmouth IBM Lake where what grass is left is more like hay (not a hint of green in it) - I would think the birds must be desperate to get away to somewhere offering a better diet.
Last year there were occasional reports of one at the Blashford Lakes from July 17 through to Nov 27 (with one report of two seen together on July 29) so the current sightings may be the first of many this autumn.
