Sequestration rate of heavy metal contaminants using riccia fluitans as potential phytoremediation agent in polluted aquatic ecosystem
Due to the growing human population, numerous developments are needed until today. Thus, it caused massive changes to the landscape from natural to built environment. Consequently, the earth confronted critical issues on protection and restoration of biodiversity. The impact of urbanization on bi...

| description |
Due to the growing human population, numerous developments are needed until
today. Thus, it caused massive changes to the landscape from natural to built
environment. Consequently, the earth confronted critical issues on protection and
restoration of biodiversity. The impact of urbanization on biodiversity is concerned on
the relationship between biodiversity and urban ecosystem. The aim of this paper is
to investigate abundance of urban biodiversity and its benefits to the urban
community. The triangulation methodology address three step approaches
biodiversity observation, atmospheric measurement and human dimension. However,
this study will present the abundance of bird observation in year 2010 and 2014. 11
species of birds were identified. The highest number of birds recorded is
(Acridotheres tritis/common myna (n=56) in 2010 and (n=19) in 2014. It is recorded
that there are decreasing number of birds species such as Zebra Dove and Magpie
Robin. There are new species identified in 2014 the Black Crowned Night Heron
which are rarely found in urban area. The study presents and empirical survey on bird
species. The declining of green space in urban affected the bird species population. It
is suggested that bird conservation in urban context should be emphasized. It could
improve the ecosystem services as well as health and well-being benefits |
