Subject field(s)

  • Water Pollution
CONT

In addition to the effects of other chemical species on the levels of acidity tolerated by fish, there are biological factors which influence acid tolerance.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Pollution de l'eau
DEF

Aptitude relative d'un organisme ou d'un milieu à supporter, sans manifester de réponse particulière, l'action d'un altérogène acide.

CONT

Les lacs sélectionnés présentent tous un aspect physique semblable, mais ils ont chacun un niveau d'acidité et d'alcalinité particulier. On pourrait donc éventuellement estimer le seuil de tolérance à l'acidité pour la majorité des espèces qui fréquentent les milieux humides.

OBS

On notera une tendance à employer le terme «tolérance» pour la matière animée et le terme «résistance» pour la matière inanimée.
