Description
Biotech Conservation of Biodiversity and Environmental Monitoring by Konthoujam Khelchandra Singh
This book highlights some of the important studies on the conservation of biodiversity and environmental monitoring carried out by various researchers in India. The primary goal of environmental monitoring is to detect the level of environmental pollution, identify ecological changes, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. An inclusive account of the monitoring of water environments highlights significant variations in surface and groundwater quality. Interesting information on methane emission from streams, biomass variations in grasslands and lake ecosystems, carbon sequestration in trees, chlorophyll content, and plant leaf disease detection model have been included. Significant studies relating to the conservation of biodiversity, like orchid flora, butterfly diversity, aquatic macrophyte diversity, and sees-borne fungal diversity associated with finger millet and sacred groves, are highlighted. The themes concerning petrochemical characteristics of serpentinized peridotites, soil assessment, eco-genotoxicological effects on aquatic biota, and acute toxicity study effects on freshwater snails are incorporated in the book. Furthermore, interesting findings on environmental awareness, remote sensing perspective on urban growth, and environmental health have also been included.
