Hayden66 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) The effect of sound(sonotrophism) on the phytogeography of Algae --Phytogeography --- The geography of flora or plant life; where botany and physical geography overlap. So with this I want to investigate if sounds have an effect of how dispersed algae is an environment (am looking more into water based environments but algae can grow in any environment) . There's been a lot of research on noise pollution, and how it would affect animals in wildlife. However, no so much on actual plant life. Algae itself is known to be autotrophs(primary producers) . Which means they are fundamental to all the food chains in the world. One example---( salamanders eat algae. Small mammals eat salamanders. Big mammals eat small mammals. Then humans can eat the Big mammals) . Obviously they are thousands of other examples with algae. So how dispersed algae is vital to the future of all species (including humans since we basically at the top of the food chain) . As population rises so does the noise pollution. So this question will be answering(holistic judgement i think) whether or not noise pollution is adding to the Global, human destruction of all flora and fauna based on the importance of algae as a primary producer. - I do realize that i will have to mention the specific type of Algae ( like the genus and species thing). That shouldn't be a problem for me though What do you think about the question? Any flaws? Something I should keep in mind?
