Información sobre esta historia científica

Objetivos y resultados

  • Describe the pathways through which pollutants from land-based activities, such as farming, enter freshwater and marine ecosystems .
  • Analyse the chemical changes that occur in aquatic environments when common agricultural pollutants are introduced and explain their short- and long-term effects .
  • Explain the causes of ocean acidification, including the contribution of agricultural practices, and assess its ecological and socio-economic consequences .
  • Summarise and interpret the main ideas and supporting details of a journalistic article on ocean acidification and communicate the key findings to a target audience using appropriate language .
  • Evaluate the roles and responsibilities of individuals, agricultural industries, policymakers, and scientists in mitigating the impact of farming on water chemistry and debate possible solutions through group discussions .
