Abstract

The study focuses on the economic loss of agricultural production and livestock population in Tamil Nadu due to sago industrial pollution. Primary data was obtained from 413 households. A larger number of sago processing industries in identified villages belonging to taluks, namely Salem, Mettur and Attur, were sampled to estimate the loss of agricultural production and livestock population. The outcome of the research recommends improving the health of the ecosystem and managing sago effluents.

Highlights

  • In the urban environment there is a significant transformation of various components of the landscape, which worsens the modes of existence of biotic components of ecosystems and human living conditions

  • The relationship between yield parameters and landscape-ecological diversity is non-linear, which determines the presence of optimal diversity of natural protected areas for the highest potato yields

  • The maximum concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) was 7.30 mg/l in the water collected from TW22, whereas the minimum concentration was found 3.95 mg/l in TW15 belonging to ward-2

Summary

Introduction

In the urban environment there is a significant transformation of various components of the landscape, which worsens the modes of existence of biotic components of ecosystems and human living conditions. Functional efficiency of forest plantations in urban environment depends on sustainability and diversity of ecosystems formed within them. The growth of population and the expansion of built-up areas caused by urbanization can have a significant impact on the supply and distribution of critical ecosystem services. Soil invertebrates in urban environments are taxonomically and functionally diverse. This is contributed to by the specific features of the soil as a habitat.
