Chapter 15 Human influences on the environment
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
4.11 understand the biological consequences of pollution of air by sulfur dioxide and by carbon monoxide
4.12 understand that water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and CFCs are greenhouse gases
4.13 understand how human activities contribute to greenhouse gases
4.14 understand how an increase in greenhouse gases results in an enhanced greenhouse effect and that this may lead to global warming and its consequences
4.15 understand the biological consequences of pollution of water by sewage, including increases in the number of micro-organisms causing depletion of oxygen
4.16 understand that eutrophication can result from leached minerals from fertiliser
4.17 understand the effects of deforestation, including leaching, soil erosion, disturbance of the water cycle and of the balance in atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Shared Planet - 03 Sept 13. The intensification of agriculture
Duration: 28 mins
A field report from England with Simon Potts, Professor of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services at Reading University. Simon Potts's research looks specifically at how effective bees and other pollinators are and their abundance in agricultural landscapes - a crucial link in food security. Monty Don explores some of the issues with Vandana Shiva (who is inspirational) in Delhi, a board member of the International Forum on Globalisation and an author of over 20 books about biodiversity, food and economies.
