Oxygen cycle is the name given to a complex biogeochemical process through which it is guaranteed that oxygen moves in order to circulate in and out of the Earth's surface. As noted when analyzing how oxygen (a chemical element also present in the water cycle) is transformed […]

Biological corridors are, according to the theoretical definition framed in environmental law, territories of variable characteristics and dimensions that connect natural spaces relevant to wild fauna and flora. Thanks to them, members of different species can carry out genetic exchanges or migration, for example. This geographical space, also […]

Natural heritage is a concept framed in Environmental Law that refers to the set of resources and assets of nature of immense importance for being a source of great geological and biological diversity. The natural heritage that is distinguished throughout the planet is also relevant in cultural, environmental, […]

Environmental monitoring is a practice that is implemented in a specific place for a certain time in order to evaluate and monitor the state and conditions that the environment presents at that moment. Just as today there are methods that facilitate this task and technological advances that greatly benefit it, […]

Water quality is an expression that aims to describe what characteristics a certain sample or a certain body of water examined possesses. In this analysis process, the safety levels are evaluated when coming into contact, using it for human activities or consuming that liquid, since there are a lot of issues that can […]

Marine biodiversity is a concept typical of the fields of biology and ecology that refers to the enormous variety of biotic factors that inhabit marine environments and that favor the sustainable and healthy development of the planet. When comparing the biological diversity of the oceans with that of the terrestrial environment, […]

A polyculture is a combination of crops of different species on the same agricultural area. In this way, we seek to respect or reproduce, in a certain way, the biodiversity of ecosystems. It can be said that polyculture is a type of agriculture that produces different plants using the same soil. These techniques allow us to obtain a variety […]

Species extinction is a problem characterized by the disappearance of the entire population of a specific species or a set of taxa. There are many causes of this situation that threatens the balance of nature, including climate change, poaching, the introduction of invasive species and the destruction […]

Endangered species are those populations of living beings that, at a regional or global level, are at risk of extinction. The causes of this problem, which in recent years has become more accentuated and accelerated, are several, but climate change is one of the main causes of the environmental imbalance that puts adaptation into play […]

Invasive species are those that, for different reasons, develop beyond their natural distribution areas. In this framework, multiple exponents of flora and fauna are deployed in foreign habitats and end up causing biodiversity to be lost. Organisms (mainly plants and animals, although they can also be microorganisms) that […]
