A habitat is described as a natural environment where a particular population or specific species typically resides. In addition to biotic factors like the availability of food and the presence of predators, a habitat also includes physical elements like soil, moisture, temperature range, and light availability. SIGNIFICANCE OF HABITAT: Habitat is considered a significant source […]
Introduction Pakistan ranks among the most vulnerable and climate change-affected country. According to Worldometer, its fossil fuels’ global emissions are less than 1 %. China is emitting 29.18% and ranked among the top emitters. Pakistan shares a border with China. Unfortunately, these pollutants don’t know any border. The Sino-Pak border is provided with a natural […]
Introduction Nuclear energy is the type of energy produced by a process known as fission. Electricity is generated in several ways such as using solar panels, coal burning, or maybe by capturing the heat from atoms that split apart. If electricity is produced from splitting atoms apart then it is called nuclear energy. Thermal […]
For billions of years, energy has been produced by the sun. Solar energy is the sun’s beams (solar radiation) that reach the earth. This solar energy can be converted into different forms of energy like heat and electricity. In the 1830s, a solar thermal collector box (a device that collects sunlight to gather heat) […]
Introduction Wind energy is a transformed form of solar energy that is created in its core by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen (H) into helium (He). The H-He fusion reaction generates heat, and electromagnetic radiation pours out from the sun in all directions into space. Despite the fact that just a small percentage of […]
What is Biodynamic Farming? Biodynamic farming is a type of substitute agriculture that utilizes ecological and ethical methods for farming, production of food and gardening techniques. The conventional and traditional methods of agriculture disrupt the quality of the soil with time. The soil quality deteriorates due to grazing, crop production and nutrient deficiency. It helps […]
Introduction Whenever we think about tourism with respect to our environment the first concept that comes to our mind is the ecotourism. Ecotourism is a type of tourism that involves efficient use of environment through eco-friendly transport conserving the environment and educating the tourists to help in raising funds for environmental conservation and support to […]
Why Does Karachi Need Trees? Trees are an essential aspect of the ecology, which is badly lacking in mega-cities like Karachi. Trees provide cooling by transpiring water from the earth, via the roots, and out of their leaves. Furthermore, trees give shade. Those who have experienced Karachi heat on the streets and compared the temperature […]
Introduction: Phytoplankton is a combination of two Greek words Phyto means plant and Plankton mean to make a drift. They are found in both salt water and fresh water. These are microscopic plant-like organisms and also make their food by capturing sunlight and converting it into energy. Some of them get more energy by consuming […]
INTRODUCTION: Plants are the important component and basis of the ecosystem. Plants are autotrophic in nature that is they can produce their own food through photosynthesis by the transformation of sunlight. Plants give us oxygen, food, shelter and there are many more applications of plants in different sectors such as healthcare and medicine, food industry, […]
