Earthworms are important components within ecosystem functionality and play a vital role in soil nutrition and fertility. (Edwards 2004). A prominent characteristic of earthworms is their ability to respire through diffusion of their skin (Bharambe et al 2008). As a direct result of this, earthworms are typically found in moist soils. (Roots 1956). The moist soil is vital in creating the ideal conditions for earthworms to maintain the hydrostatic pressure needed to respire (Laverack, 1963). Although
TERRA NULLIUS OBSTACLE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE NATIVE TITLE: Terra Nullius which is referred as “land belonging to no one” was an obstacle in order to achieve Native Title which is the right to land by the original inhabitants, as the Indigenous people had to prove that they were traditional owners of the land with an ongoing connection to it in order to claim native title, which was difficult as they had been forced off their land almost 200 years before. In order to achieve the native title, it had
which has now been viewed as wrong. He claimed that the land was Terra Nullius or ‘no man’s land’ empty and void of people. Lieutenant James Cook left Plymouth 25th August, 1768 in search
On the 6th of June 1992 The high court of Australia made the decision to overturn the doctrine of Terra Nullius, Mabo v Queensland (No2) (1992) 175 CRL 1, this decision caused a very significant impact on Australia’s Law and legal History. It was the first time since British settlement in 1770 that native title was recognised in Australia for Indigenous Australians. Native title refers to land title rights indigenous Australians have with land that has cultural significance to them. The decision
the name of Captain James Cook. Part 2: Cook’s first voyage had two objectives. What objectives and were they fulfilled? The first of the two objectives was to observe the transit of Venus, and the second was to find evidence of the existence of Terra Australis Incognita, the name given to the land on which Australia occupies nowadays, before it was colonised. The viewing of the transit of Venus was to be recorded in four stages. The first of which was when Venus' figure made contact with the figure
There are many possible solutions to Ocean Acidification and while some are not possible due to the cost and or method is unfeasible. These methods are Iron fertilization and Carbon negative fuels. While Iron fertilization is a possible solution, in the long run, it is more detrimental to the environment and can possibly kill more marine life. So far, the use of iron fertilization have been used twelve time in order to bloom the phytoplankton. These tests have asked more questions they give answers
Climate change is temperature increasing over a long period of time. Climate is imoortant to both humans and ecosyestems in order to thrive. One slight change can disrupt an entire ecosystem. Most people recognize that greenhouse gasses such carbon dioxide have been contributing to climate change. Greenhouse gases are part of earth’s many natural processes. Greenhouse gasses are important to keeping the earth at an overall warm temperature. When When sunlight shines down to Earth, it warms the
Topic: Methods of Carbon sequestration Carbon sequestration: Carbon sequestration is a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It includes two other major approaches, improved energy efficiency and increased use of non-carbon energy sources for greenhouse gas reduction. Carbon sequestration means capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere or capturing anthropogenic CO2 from large-scale stationary sources like power plants before it is released to the atmosphere. Once captured, the CO2 gas
Ancient South American Foodways Domestication of plants and animals has long been indicated as a main causational factor for population increase and socio-political complexity. Evidence of domestication of plants in South America has been said of have initially occurred 8000 BC, evidence of squash in Ecuador (Pearsall 2008:107), and 500 years earlier lima beans and chili peppers are being exploited (Lynch 1983:125-6). However, it took several millennia for intensive manipulation of plants to become
