Abstract:

This study involved the determinations of the foliar levels of chlorophyll a and b and metal levels in the year 1, year 2 and year 3 needles of Sitka spruce. A survey was made of nineteen sites in the Afan 1 forest in South Wales. The results obtained indicates that there are two distinct types of site, namely good growth sites and poor growth sites. The poor growth sites were found to be at higher elevations. Further analyses of the results show that there is possibly an increased loss of nutrients from the trees at the poor growth sites. This may be due to increased pollution that may be pre

However, more than 160 tons of the fungicide copper oxychloride are annually being sprayed on these vineyards. This has raised concerns that Cu may accumulate in these soils, resulting in a negative impact on the soil biological processes, especially since the soils in the Western Cape are slightly acidic, making Cu more mobile and available for soil organisms than would have been the case in alkaline soils.

Abstract:

This investigation has demonstrated that levels of parasitism may provide a sensitive, biologically-based index of marine environmental pollution. Flatfish were initially selected as indicator hosts in field studies conducted at an 'accumulating' and two 'dispersing' sewage sludge dump sites in Scottish coastal waters, but the results indicated that they were unsuitable for monitoring sewage sludge dispersal. The common whelk, Buccinum undatum , was selected as an alternative host-parasite system in a seasonal study at the Garroch Head sewage sludge dump site in the Firth of Clyde, where marke

Abstract:

Aloidendron dichotomum is predicted to undergo a south and south-eastern range shift in response to anthropogenic climate warming. Despite this, its range is suggested to be limited by low temperature extremes at the cool range edge and no such range shift has yet been confirmed. However, eco-physiological knowledge necessary to predict and detect this range shift is lacking. This study aimed to determine whether physiological performance of A. dichotomum differs at a regional and local scale, and if so, whether regional and local temperatures explain physiological differences.

The first biological system in the study, upon P. obovata, is interesting by this species ability to adapt and sustain extremely low temperatures, such as -60⁰C or below.

Abstract:

Compost can suppress soilborne plant pathogens that cause significant damage on globally important food crops. However, reports of plant pathogen suppression are inconsistent likely because there are no established standards for feedstock material, application rate, and maturity age upon application. Excellent results can be achieved in greenhouse trials, but field applications are much less reliable. Disease suppression occurs through the activity of biocontrol organisms (direct antagonism), and general microbial competition. Biocontrol species are hypothesized to colonize the pile during the

Decreases in choline metabolites occur early-on after initiation of treatment. There is potential for use of choline metabolites as non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic response indicators. Choline metabolites are detected in vivo by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in broad resonances which are composites of multiple compounds.

However, the forested watershed had the highest levels of nitrate, which may have come from groundwater or organic matter decomposition.

Abstract:

Over the years, the rapid expansion in imaging techniques and equipments has driven the demand for more automation in handling large medical and biological data sets. A wealth of approaches have been suggested as optimal solutions for their respective imaging types. These solutions span various image resolutions, modalities and contrast (staining) mechanisms. Few approaches generalise well across multiple image types, contrasts or resolution. This thesis proposes an automated pixel-level framework that addresses 2D, 2D+t and 3D structural segmentation in a more generalizable manner, yet has en

Abstract:

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, .Johannesburg, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.<br>An Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) has been developed for rangeland condition assessment in arid northwestern Namibia. The usefulness of termites as bio-indlcators has been tested and reliable sampling protocol for termite diversity in an arid ervlronrnent has been developed. The study was conducted mainly at a high- and low-intensity site on each of three farms. Two of the farms were communally owned; the other wa
