In ecosystems where marked biodiversity changes occur at seasonal time scales, it is easier to relate them with ecosystem functioning. The objective of this work is to analyse the relationship between phytoplankton diversity, zooplankton diversity and various nutrients. During the study period the correlations among Shanon diversity (H1) of phytoplankton and zooplankton, densities of Zooplankton and Phytoplankton as well as nutrients (Phosphates, Nitrates and Silicates), at various sites on River Gadhi and Deharang Reservoir were studied. There was no significant correlation between diversity and various nutrients. The relation between phytoplankton diversity and density also was found to be negative. The negative correlation also existed between zooplankton densities and phytoplankton densities at various sites.

These include several arthropods particularly insects. Among these insects soldier fly Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) was observed during the study. This is the first time known record of this fly in compost in India. This paper studies the occurrence and description of the fly.

The physicochemical parameters of this lake were studied for one year. The phosphates were always to be higher (0.0476 mg/l - 0.0264 mg/l). Lower values of Phosphates coincided with full growth of Pistia sps. while higher values coincided with the decaying of Pistia sps. and its sinking with rainfall. Dissolved Oxygen drops down to zero with full growth of Pistia sps, but Calcium, Silicates, and Hardness do not show any relation with growth of Pistia sps. in the lake.

Masunda lake which is in the heart of the city is the place of attraction and relaxation for the populace. The Municipal Corporation has built an enclosure within the lake where people can dispose off the Nirmalya ( religious refuse like old floral offerings to god). The municipal workers clean this enclosure daily. Water samples were collected and analyzed fortnightly from enclosure and main lake. Dissolved Oxygen levels were Zero in the enclosure water samples while it ranged from 4.5 to 11.2 mg/litter in the main lake water samples. Levels of CO2, Total Harness, SiO2-s, PO4- p, were found to be high in the enclosure waters as compared to the main lake samples. This indicates that prevention of Organic substances from entering in the lake not only protects the lake but prevents eutrophication. Thus this could be one of the remedial measures for the di...

The neglect had lead to severe pollution of the lakes affecting the ecology as well as the livelihood of the locals dependent on the lakes. The Thane Municipal Corporation started the process of bioremediation of lakes in Thane city from the year 1999 by using selected, preadapted, nonpathogenic microbes. Lake Kacharali was the first one to undergo the process and prior to the bioremediation process the lake was physically cleaned of all the floating macrophytes. The physico-chemical parameters to assess the water quality along with the phytoplankton and zooplankton to understand the biological diversity were undertaken from the beginning of bioremediation process in January 1999 till June 2000. Among the zooplankton Rotifera comprise the integral part of the food chain and are important link between the nanoplankton and t...

It gets the name from Satpura hill ranges (Mahadeo hills). The national park is not very far from the borders of Maharashtra. It is spread over an area of 524 km². Satpura National Park along with the adjoining Bori and Panchmarhi Sanctuaries, provides 1427 km² of unique Central Indian Highland ecosystem. It was set up mainly for the conservation of Tigers hence also called as ‘Satpura Tiger Reserve’. Satpura Tiger Reserve spreads through the dense woody forest of evergreen sal, teak and bamboo. This reserve is extremely rocky and it is bestowed with sandstone peaks, narrow gorges, and ravines, an ideal habitat for the big cats viz. tigers and leopards. Satpura National Park is very rich in biodiversity and it houses some of the rare species of the animal kingdom and a large variety of birds. The terrain of the national park is extremely rugged and consists of fascinating dee...
