6.Global climate change, especially warming trends, could be contributing to chytrid fungus outbreaks. Unusually hot spells may stress amphibians, which would weaken their immune systems and make them more susceptible to disease. Another possibility is that temperature shifts caused by climate change ma...
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the world's atmosphere and oceans since the preindustrial age. Since 1880, the earth’s average temperature has risen about 1 degree Celsius or 2 degrees Fahrenheit.1 Facts Scientists have three ways to measure global warming. Since...
technology and renewable energy sources, energy audits, recycling, waste reduction, water management, energy-saving systems, and staff/guest education on the subject of global warming were identified as the primary activities carried out by the respondents in their efforts to combat global warming. Co...

in North, Central, and South America, as well as in Africa, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. While it is clear that chytrid fungus is the immediate cause of many rapid amphibian-population declines, there is still much debate about the disease. Is chytrid fungus a newly emerging disease...

use of green pesticides, maintaining the proper pest defender ratio (P:D), policies and reaching to political audience at global level and other factors already discussed in the chapter may be helpful for mitigating the insect decline and especially for the pollinators, a key insect for life. ...
Petroleum-fueled transportation and coal-burning power plants are considered the chief causes of global warming. Excess amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, and NOx, among other gases, trap heat in the atmosphere and create the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a main constituent of petr...
.In addition,during the process of global warming,the average temperature and its amplitudes of variation are all increasing,resulting in the increase of the frequencies of extreme weather and climate events,which has provided the favorable conditions for the occurrence of abnormal weathers in many ...
Global climate change and consequent warming of atmospheric system has altered the regular spatio-temporal distribution of precipitation1,2,3, especially the regime of extreme precipitation all over the world4. To be specific, researchers have detected some abrupt, substantial, and persistent changes or...
