Mangroves declining in Northern Australia

When you visit a mangrove you immediately get that stinky smell. It is no pleasure to walk out to the ocean to paddle your feet. Why should you worry if some mangroves are lost?  This would mean losing useful habitat for many  creatures.  ||| mangroves it declining mangrove in habitat die-off northern to australia is or declining mangroves of |
Mangrove in Northern Australia
Your dinner plate would be lighter with the loss of barramundi, mud crabs, banana prawns and red snapper. This is happening in the Gulf of Carpentaria, the northerly part of Queensland and the Northern Territory. The damage was caused by El Niño changing the direction of prevailing winds.  Sea levels fell which left the mudflats high and dry. There was a also a shortage of natural water due to a drought.   ||| northern as Mangroves it go declining | habitat die-off on on northern at declining mangroves of habitat | ||    

Rhizophora, the plant itself, does not like too much salt. They are only on the coastline because plants upstream in fresh water grow tall which blocks out light. When a tree is lost it takes ten years to replace: it has a long life, living over 200 years. | mangrove | not. |

If the situation continues, commercial fisherman will see a reduction in fish caught: they go to the coastal habitat to breed. The balanced ecosystem is also a natural feeding ground.  Research has begun to find out if the die-off is related to global change.   | or an up.

Anthropology Has New Theory on Australian Aboriginals

New theory on Australian Aboriginals - Anthropology. Australian Aboriginals split from Eurasians and moved south into the dry continent. Twenty thousand years later the world warmed up and Australia was cut off from its northern neighbors. This is the latest theory.  But when Europeans initially came to Queensland there were two types of native people. Each was a distinct genetic pool. One was like Papua New Guineans. The other was very slight and shorter. It is the latter that predominates today. Papua New Guineans Australian Aboriginals Some scientists still hold that there was only one move out of Africa. This is an unsustainable supposition. The doors for movement were always open. Australian Aboriginals were quite unique. It seems that they were the first to leave Africa. There is also the question of Tasmanian Aboriginals who were wiped out by arriving Europeans. There is no evidence of them now. They could not light fires. The flames had to be stol...

Beatboxing - Percussion Sounds of the Mouth

There must be a dearth of things to study. Scientists are now researching the odd sounds that people make. It may seem weird but its true. Those who can make odd sounds are called beatboxers. Scientists are interested in percussion sounds. These are expressed in Celtic, Chinese, North American and Indian cultures. Hip-hop is an area of great interest. A young "practitioner" had MRI scans done on his mouth while he created percussion sounds. The conclusion reached is that a lot of brainpower is involved in imitating percussion. It "is a small part of the larger puzzle," experts say. In my view it takes little mental concentration. Just put your tongue behind you top teeth a "tap" away. http://www.adventure--australia.blogspot.com/ http://www.tysaustralia.blogspot.com/ http://adventure--australia.blogspot.com/atom.xml http://www.technorati.com/blogs/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
