Document Summary
May be a bit lower in resilience but it is functioning at a level that allows for biodiversity: biodiversity plays a key role, sustainability in fisheries. 08/10/2018: failure to adequately consider the population parameters (e. g. sex ration, survival) as the data are difficult to obtain, tragedy of the commons. Illegal fishing: bycatch -> can catch anything with the nets, aquaculture as a solution, over 95 million metric tons globally (58. 8 in china, 45 species of finfish, shellfish and marine algae cultivated in canada (growing sector) Issues: disease, escapees, gmos: sustainability in forestry, forest ecosystems cover ~31% earth, foresters have an array of silvicultural and harvesting techniques, clear cutting (many types highly controversial) 08/10/2018: experimental design, treatments, cover crops: mixture vs mono, amendments: src vs fertilizer, looking at, soil characteristics, soil microorganisms, plant diversity and growth. Invertebrate assemblages: herbivore damage, vine performance, similar growth patterns were found in both radish and chicory.
