Excellent artiucle on decomposition of aquatic plant leaves in relation to bacteria

Global Warming Impact?

Nymphaea leachates are known for possessing inhibitory compounds which serve as a source of resistance for the bacteria population. It may be fathomable that the leachates can be placed in other parts of the swamp, not necessarily just in habitat where a water-lily thrives, but additionally where other types of flora may reside and want to be protected. This may lead to an increase in microbial biomass to microconsumers, but after some time, this relationship may become mutually exclusive and independent of the other party involved.

 

How might the introduction of baceteriophages, such as pathogenic control agents, be possibly harmful to the root nodulation of other plants, which are necessary for normal growth? It is aware that in general such agents would help to improve the health of the plants, but are the risks of possibly destroying the foundation of a range of plants based on the layout of Okefenokee Swamp, worth the rewards of seeing a select group of plants grow and flourish, in terms of the addition of bacteria fighting substances, regardless of potency?

I was under the impression that there were different types of bacterioplankton-- such as autotrophic or saprotrophic-- what species are most effected by the decomposition of the lillies and what ecological consequences does this have?

Another question; after the intense period of growth by the bacterioplankton, is the increase ever offset by periods of decrease? Or will the bacterioplankton continue to grow in population until the sheer amount is overwhelming?

If the increase is never offset by a decrease will increases in bacterioplankton have adverse consequences?

Finally, what is the significance of the bacterioplankton in context of the swamp? Is the swamp the site of this scientific phenomena or have the findings been replicated elsewhere-- in areas that are not swamps?

I've walked in it, swam in it as have many a grad student and researcher...........we ain't dead.

This is about decaying plant material, not limbs rotting off from some tropical fungus. Cameroon has some good diseases there.

Perhaps the decaying plant material has consequences... I think ecological abstracts such as this are very interesting and are insightful for learning about procedures to deal with excessive bacteria in swamps.

Global Warming?

Perhaps maybe global warming could be an issue with the Okefenokee Swamp. I mean put aside the issues of the polar ice caps melting, but instead consider the real effect that pollution and the "green house effect" is having on not just swamps, but the entire environment. It's likely that the pollution could be contributing to this issue?

 

Is it a single issue?

I agree that the dissolved substances released during the decomposition of the white water lily is altering the growth rate of the Okefenokee Swamp bacterioplankton. However, I see it more likely that this alteration is more of a result of a handful of chained together that result in a chain reaction, thus altering the swamp bacterioplankton. One cause for instance could be acid rain, as a result from the smog and pollution in the air. I don't know, it's just a theory, but what are your thoughts on this idea?

 

solution?

I think that we use pesticides to control this problem. There will be various factors that we need to consider before attempting to solve it, and I understand that there will be both pros and cons in dealing with this issue. However, this is something that will affect us all both directly and indirectly and thus we should carefully consider its effects and ways in which we can solve the problem.

 

What are some possible factors that the readers should take into account (other than the dissolved substances) that affect the growth of the Okefenokee Swamp? How will this affect each one of us personally?

Although pesticides may be a desirable way to control, we must also evaluate the consequences such action might have before we take any sort of action. As it already is, the inhibitory compounds released during the decomposition of aquatic macrophytes act as selective agents which alter the structure of the bacterial population, with regards to resistance. If pesticides were used to control the situation, then that could alter the rate at which this decompisition happens, thus altering the bacterial population, with regards to resistance, at a faster rate. Such possibilities need to be taken into consideration before any action is taken.

 

Does the natural temperature of Georgia and Florida have anything to do with the rate at which the decomposition of the bacteria occurs? Think about it. If something phenomenal is occurring here that is producing a different outcome than in other places, there has to be a reason for it other than simply the things that are present in that site. There has to be an external factor that is altering the rate at which the process occurring. I believe that this external factor might be the higher temperatures that are present throughout these regions, which speed up the process of the bacterial decomposition.

 

Global Warming

It is a subject that can not easily be put aside. It is obvious that global warming is present through weather fluctuations and o-zone depletion. Could pollution and the green house effect be contributing to destruction of swamps in America such as the Okefenokee swamp?
