In addition, the hoseâs volume fluctuation decreases the hydraulic system reaction time and efficiency. By comparison, the expansion of metal tube is negligible, which makes it a preferred choice for applications requiring accurate positioning.
Aquatic Ecosystems. Most aquatic ecosystems are limited by salt concentration and the availability of sunlight, oxygen and nutrients. For example The Dead Sea is âdeadâ because the salinity is so high and nothing can grow in it.
As ecosystems age this supply diminishes, making phosphorus-limitation more common in older landscapes (especially in the tropics). Calcium and sulfur are also produced by weathering, but acid deposition is an important source of sulfur in many ecosystems.
