Animals Worldwide Stick Close to Home When Humans Move In

Seed transplant and nutrient cycling are linked to why animals are moving their location further leading to trouble. Some animals are unable to move due to human activities such as highways, railroads, cities, etc. It is said by researchers that communities should try and help animals as they move by creating highway overpasses and farmers leaving gates open  in cold weather for animals to migrate.

    What trouble occurs when animals move their location further? Is the trouble the fact that they are altering ecosystems they are moving to?

    Will helping these animals migrate help the problem or make it worse? What is causing these animals to migrate and why is it leading to trouble?

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
