As a result, Konica Minolta has confirmed that its operations (design and manufacturing) have a high dependency on and impact on ecosystem services, and it does not operate near important biodiversity hotspots domestically or overseas. Based on the results of the natural scenario analysis conducted ...

has dramatically changed the classification system of early-diverging fungi over the past several decades. The number of phyla established for non-Dikarya fungi has increased from 2 to 17. However, to date, both the classification and phylogeny of the basal...
One municipality had an ambitious plan to generate UES by connecting rural, peri-urban, and urban ecosystems in a network of green hotspots and corridors, but encountered problems e.g., when applying an integrated landscape approach to stormwater management (I4): ...
Urban ecologists should enhance the collaboration with the data scientists to increase the application of big data in studies of urban biodiversity, urban ecosystem services and human wellbeing, and processes of urban ecosystems.1. Introduction Urbanization is a type of human activities that have ...

Despite strong consensus on the need for a broad portfolio of options to face this challenge, diversified management options have yet to be widely implemented. Inspired by functional zoning, a concept aimed at optimizing biodiversity conservation and wood production in multiple-use forest landscapes, ...
This mapping and comparison of site-specific water data, sanitation, population, and biodiversity enables an organization to identify the sites that are at higher risk of water scarcity, to evaluate the percentage of production output from such high-risk sites, to understand the sanitation and well...
As a first step to achieving this, we have proposed a concept of water usage efficiency to be used to identify hotspots for intervention. We have defined three efficiency measures for water-using processes and a supporting classification scheme for water flows within a factory. The calculation of...
