Although scientists have been researching the impacts of organic agriculture on the environment and animal welfare for decades, the conclusions drawn by the scientific community remain controversial. Against this background, this paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the benefits of organic farming ...
Most of these creatures live in the ocean nearer to the surface of the water and are seldom found in freshwater. Chordates:An animal that has a notochord, pharyngeal slits, a hollow nerve chord on the dorsal side, and a post-anal tail is called a chordate. This distribution of zooplankton...
Monitoring the behavior of animals (e.g., eating habits) can lead to conclusions regarding animal's welfare. To achieve this, remote monitoring of animal activity with the aid of inertial sensors and use of machine learning algorithms over the collected data can be used. However, these ...
These fragmented croplands contribute only 8% of total crop production while using 15% of nitrogen fertilizers, leading to 12% of fertilizer loss in China. Optimizing the cropping structure of fragmented croplands to meet animal food demand in China can increase animal food supply by 19%, ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) across various domains, notably in healthcare, epidemic management, and public sentiment analysis. Focusing on China as a case study, this paper critically examines AI’s societal and individual impacts during the ...
Existing ecological frameworks like socioeconomic impact classification, i.e., “health,”“material and immaterial,”“safety and security” and “social, cultural and spiritual relations,” would provide useful insights regarding the benefits of bats across human welfare [20]. It would also enable...

This type of afforestation creates natural forests, which are the best carbon sinks and habitat builders. If more species are involved in their planting, these forests may develop into multi-faceted habitats for numerous animal species and providers of valuable ecosystem services....
Buprenorphine is an agonist at the mu opioid receptor (MOR) and antagonist at the kappa (KOR) and delta (DOR) receptors and a nociceptin receptor (NOR) ligand. Buprenorphine has a relatively low intrinsic efficacy for G-proteins and a long brain and MOR dwell time. Buprenorphine ceiling on ...
Wildfires are an integral part of forest ecosystems and play a crucial role in the forest carbon cycle. They regulate forests by facilitating forest succession and regeneration, and maintaining plant and animal biodiversity95,100. While humans and lightning strikes initiate roughly equal numbers of fir...
