Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.
Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.
Answer:
Microbiological contamination refers to the non-intended or accidental introduction of infectious material like bacteria, yeast, mould, fungi, virus, prions, protozoa or their toxins and by-products. 1,2

if this answer helpful can you make me as brainlist
thank you :)
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Remember that a niche is an inhabited areas where organisms essentially behave a little like humans each filling their own individual role. These aren't extremely common to find but the whole concept of it is that these organisms will function peacefully and trying to help one another survive. C is correct because with minimal resources you will lose that sense of tranquility and now fight it out for who is the fittest for the environment
Hope this helps!
If a higher concentration of salt is placed outside of the cell membrane, the water will leave the cell to bond with it. The loss of water from this movement causes plant cells to shrink and wilt.
Answer:
<u>Light microscope</u>:
- use a beam of light to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine living cells and tissues
<u>Scanning electron microscope</u>:
- use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine DNA
- can be used to examine cells
<u>Transmission electron microscope</u>:
- use a beam of electrons to produce magnified images
- can be used to examine DNA
- can be used to examine cells
Explanation:
Light microscope: is a commonly used microscope also known as compound microscope. Magnifies images from 40X upto 1000X. It uses ray of visible light to produce a magnified image. The light microscope can be used to view specimen of both living and dead cells or tissues. However, it doesn't give a detailed view of a specimen like electron microscope.
Scanning electron microscope: It uses electron beam as an illuminating source. It has a much higher resolving power than light microscope because it uses electrons instead of light. It magnifies object upto 500000 times the actual size. Internal structures can also be viewed. However, only dead specimen can be used because the beam of electrons can kill the cells. They are of two types:
- <u>Scanning electron microscope(SEM): </u>an electron beam passes over the specimen's surface and displaces electrons which are then focused on a screen to form an image. Images appear in 3-D
- <u>Transmission electron microscope: </u>electromagnets magnify the image by passing beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Images appear in 2-D
