  2. Ex situ conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_situ_conservation

    Ex situ management can occur within or outside a species' natural geographic range. Individuals maintained ex situ exist outside an ecological niche. This means that they are not under the same selection pressures as wild populations, and they may undergo artificial selection if maintained ex situ for multiple generations. [3]

  3. Environmental remediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_remediation

    Remediation technologies are many and varied but can generally be categorized into ex-situ and in-situ methods. Ex-situ methods involve excavation of affected soils and subsequent treatment at the surface as well as extraction of contaminated groundwater and treatment at the surface. In-situ methods seek to treat the contamination without ...

  4. Remediation of contaminated sites with cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remediation_of...

    Both in situ and ex situ processes were utilized to treat over 35,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil. The ex situ treated soil was mixed with Portland cement by a pugmill then placed on top of the in situ treated soil. This created an excellent base for pavement to be placed over the site.

  5. Bioremediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioremediation

    Bioremediation techniques can be classified as (i) in situ techniques, which treat polluted sites directly, vs (ii) ex situ techniques which are applied to excavated materials. [8] In both these approaches, additional nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and pH buffers are added to enhance the growth and metabolism of the microorganisms.

    There are eleven possible conservation roles [14] [13] that are given to each species that is evaluated by the assessment. These roles are as follows: Ark, Rescue, In situ Conservation, In situ research, Husbandry research, Applied Ex situ Research, Mass Production in Captivity, Conservation Education, Supplementation, Biobanking, and doing ...

    An OECM is defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity as: [A] geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally ...

  8. Habitat conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_conservation

    Habitat conservation is a management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitats and prevent species extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. [1] It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology .

  9. Agricultural biodiversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_biodiversity

    Ex situ conservation is defined as the “conservation of components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats.” [50] Ex situ conservation is the conservation of genetic resources (species, varieties, cultivars, sub-species, landraces etc.) for food and agriculture outside their natural habitat, in a managed environment including ...
