Definition von biomagnification im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

The process, in an ecosystem, in which a higher concentration of a substance in an organism is obtained higher up the food chain

(Biyoloji) Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification, or biological magnification is the increase in concentration of a substance, such as the pesticide DDT, that occurs in a food chain as a consequence of: a.) nFood chain energetics; b.) Low (or nonexistent) rate of excretion/degradation of the substance

(Tarım) The increase in the concentration of bioaccumulated toxic chemicals in organisms higher on the food chain due to preferential storage of the toxic chemical in edible body parts. For example, chlorinated pesticides concentrate in the fat and skin of fish in contaminated lakes and streams and are biomagnified when those fish are eaten by larger fish, and perhaps eventually by mammals or birds of prey
