Ecological and Chemical Indicators

Ecological indicators are measurable aspects of the environment, such as water quality or biodiversity, that reflect the health of ecosystems. They help scientists assess the impacts of human activities and natural changes. Chemical indicators are specific chemical substances or parameters, like pollutants or nutrient levels, used to evaluate environmental contamination or pollution levels. Together, these indicators provide valuable information about environmental conditions, guiding conservation efforts and informing policy decisions to protect ecosystems and public health effectively.
