The passing of secondary legislation is seen as a hugely positive step in combating the biodiversity crisis. TheEnvironment Banksays that during five decades, the UK has lost 60% of its biodiversity. This shocking statistic affects everyone, from humans to animals, but this legislation...
We used a kick-net sampler (100 µm mesh size; Stucki et al.2019) to collect benthic invertebrates. A total area of 0.25 m2was investigated with five replicates distributed according to the relative abundance of microhabitats (i.e. cobbles/boulders > 250 mm; cobbles 250 > Ø...
Pine forests and open birch forests (in Russian: ‘kolki’; Fig.2c) are located on the slopes and on upland areas of Spasskaya Gora. Forests located on upland areas are apparently secondary. Their shrub layer contains a large number of forest and meadow species, while steppe elements are ra...
The design of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the EU nature conservation legislation, particularly the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive, forming the Natura 2000 network, and the Nature Restoration Law (NRL), are crucial. These legal acts will be assessed by applying a ...
According to their estimates, the P potential of various secondary raw materials, in particular manure, sewage sludge, meat bone meal or its ashes, and compost, is around 431,000–667,000 tons of P. Thus, the demand of 326,000–458,000 tons of P could be completely covered by ...
The latter was deemed secondary only as it was planned that the general public would act more as a vehicle to transmit messages towards decision-makers, instead of being the final receiver. In addition to the general public, another transmitter was our group of CEE allies that we named "...
Biodiversity offsets aim to compensate the negative residual impacts of development projects on biodiversity, including ecosystem functions, uses by people and cultural values. Conceptually, ecosystem services (ES) should be considered, but in practice t
Insight on the legislation available in the European Union to regulate the food market, Table S2. Biological activities studied for microalgae-derived phytosterols in cell culture experiments and animal models. Author Contributions Conceptualization, T.F. and N.C.; writing—original draft preparation, ...
Secondary vegetation is now common in the forest due to timber harvesting. With better protection the forest is regenerating, and gorilla habitat is likely to decline. The level of plant use established at BINP (Bwindi National Park) is far below the impact needed to maintain secondary habitats...
Hence, current legislation on property rights should be reinterpreted in order to consider smallholders' needs and, especially, to recognize their outstanding contribution to the maintenance of genetic diversity. Local seed exchange networks are also seen as an essential factor towards biodiversity and ...
