Although a wide range of interactions occur in nature, ecological network studies to date have tended to focus on three types of interactions: parasitism, mutualism and trophic interactions. Other types of interactions have been studied (see Allesina and Levine, 2011; Coyte et al., 2015; Mougi...
However, the examples from the FCSP illustrate how difficult it can be to overcome these obstacles, particularly in the short-term and with a primary focus on low-cost on-site facilities. While social innovation was central OPP’s and the Alliance’s approaches, this innovation was tightly ...
In this paper we will focus on how governance issues are being dealt with in the BElgium Ecosystem Services (BEES) Community of Practice and on some Belgian Ecosystem Services (ES) research projects aimed at policy or practice support. As ES governance is still mainly an aspect of policy or ...
as well as highlighting the impact and contributions of young architects in shaping the cities of tomorrow. This year's event aims to address crucial challenges faced by the urban environments and their impact on the next generations. The focus is on creating cities that are not only greener an...
sites and at all trophic levels, both above- and belowground, including bacteria, fungi, protists, as well as plants, invertebrates and vertebrates33. These are collected in 150 grassland plots in three regions of Germany. We focus on the land-use intensity gradient of the Exploratories, which...
The influences of environmental factors on various ecological processes were further determined with Mantel test and MRM. Since the relative importance of other processes (heterogeneous selection, homogenizing dispersal, and dispersal limitation) was small, we primarily focus on homogeneous selection and dri...
on their individual and community health. This qualitative study explored how minority residents ( N = 23) viewed the intersectionality of income and health within their urban neighborhoods of economic distress. Focus groups were conducted using semi-structured interviews to better understand health ...
(e.g. coastal protection, food security, and new medicines), and other significant terrestrial and pelagic ocean ecosystems are also directly dependent on their functioning [4]. Being able to predict how coral ecosystems change under OA, and what this means for their ability to continue ...
how the physical environment can improve frail older people’s social well-being (Nordin et al.2017). According to a study, the residential environment has a greater influence on SWB in older adults in Shanghai than individual resources (Liu et al.2017a). In particular, a Hong Kong study ...
Such consistency would improve efficiency of risk assessment and allow a greater focus on exceptions to general patterns. Second, the role of pesticides in biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships has not been elucidated10,11,12. Historically, random and direct manipulations of single-trophic level...
