Using the trunks, they can manipulate water and salinity levels to encourage certain grasses to grow -- grasses that blue-winged teals, widgeons and other migratory birds feed upon.
We then tested the degree to which variation in rates of trap encounter, entry, and retention were related to environmental features that control agents can manipulate (attractant pheromone addition, discharge) and features agents cannot manipulate (water temperature, season), but could be used as indicators for when to increase trapping effort.
Ninja with an affinity for fire, for instance, will be able to breathe fire much sooner than they will be able to manipulate water.
*An artist manipulated water WITH HER MIND.
To assess the effects of resource availability and food web composition on seagrass ecosystem structure and functioning, we factorially manipulated water column nutrient concentrations, food chain length, and herbivore species diversity and measured their effects on above-ground biomass, plant and grazer stoichiometric ratios, and ecosystem metabolism.
Using an experimental seagrass mesocosm system, we factorially manipulated water column nutrient concentrations, food chain length, and diversity of crustacean grazers to address two questions: (1) Does food web composition modulate the effects of nutrient enrichment on plant and grazer biomasses and stoichiometry?
Additionally, AVP regulates water balance and osmolality by manipulating water permeability that is not obscured by responses to sodium reabsorption [ 10].
WVDs can be used to manipulate soil water redistribution and accumulate water at specific depths to support plant growth.
Furthermore, three different strategies are proposed to improve cathode flooding, which is achieved either by adding an interlayer inside the channel to suppress hydrogen crossover, by adding hydrophilic water remover on the cathode surface to wick the generated water, or by cracking the cathode catalyst layer (CL) to manipulate the water transport direction.
Iran suffers from "hydraulic mission" syndrome, a state of mind in which a country tries to manipulate domestic water resources to meet demand through short-sighted measures based on technology and large-scale engineering.
In Pakistan, the project raises fears that India, its archrival and the upriver nation, would have the power to manipulate the water flowing to its agriculture industry — a quarter of its economy and employer of half its population.
