Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Human disturbance …the strongest agent of disturbance at our planet today is human activity… logging and clearing for urban development mining disappearing of rain forests ocean trawling for fish polluting overgrazing Degraded ecosystem - can recover naturally from most disturbances - but it takes decades →RESTORATION ECOLOGY- a modern branch of biology goals: 1.To help to return an ecosystem to a more natural state. 2.To speed up the recovery. steps: a)Physical reconstruction of the ecosystem. b)Biological restoration. Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Bioremediation = using organisms/prokaryotes, fungi, lichens, plants/to detoxify polluted ecosystems from heavy metals – Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni 1)organisms are introduced to the polluted sites 2)the harmful substances accumulate in their tissues 3)are harvested, removed 4)disposed of, burned Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Biological augmentation … in contrast to bioremediation this strategy uses organisms to add essential materials to a degraded ecosystem… steps: 1.to determine which factors/ nutrients/ have been lost→ limit the recovery 2.to encourage the growth of plants that raise nitrogen concentration in soil- nitrogen fixing plants (Lupine).Or add mycorrhizae fungi to the soil (Lupinemycorrhizae fungi 3.to release such animal species that are important for pollinating, seed dispersion, … 4.to establish habitat corridors that would connect restored sites …THE LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE OF RESTORATION IS TO RETURN AN ECOSYSTEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ITS PREDISTURBANCE STATE… Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Mycorrhizae fungi mutually beneficial relationship between roots of most plants and fungi host plant provides fungus with a steady supply of sugar due to photosynthesis fungi enable plants to recolonize the site more easily: 1. increase the surface area for water uptake 2.supply the plant with phosphate and minerals 3.produce antibiotics that help protect the plant from pathogens Back Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Lupine belongs to legume plants like soybean, pea, peanuts, alfalfa that host anaerobic bacteria on their roots → bumps on roots bacteria transform nitrogen from atmosphere to ammonium that is accessible to plants and helps them thrive → reduces spending on industrial fertilizers the relationship is mutually beneficial, plants provide bacteria with carbohydrates Back Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

1.Write down 5 main ideas connected with restoration ecology. 2.Name some specific places from the area where you live that would be suitable either for bioremediation or augmentation. Describe the situation. Give reasons. 3.Where does Lupine come from? 4.Why did it spread through our countryside so rapidly? 5.Do colours of Lupine flower vary? Answer the questions: Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.

Suggested answers: 1)  Restoration ecology helps to return degraded ecosystems to more natural state.  Bioremediation detoxifies polluted areas.  Biological augmentation uses organisms to speed up recovery of ecosystem.  Degraded ecosystems are able to recover on their own, but it takes decades.  Mutually beneficial relationship between organisms is called symbiosis. 2)  Dumping sites around Kladno connected with its mining history like Halda dolu Nosek.  Dumping sites that are results of iron and steel production activities.  Poldi brownfields. 3) North America. Gardening. 4) Due to its mycorrhizae fungi can grow nearly anywhere. 5) Yes, can be blue, purple, pink, white… Restoration ecology, returning degraded ecosystems to a more natural state.
