However, delineating hotspots includes quantitative criteria along with subjective considerations and the risk is to neglect areas, such as coldspots, with other types of conservation value. Nowadays, it is wid
Habitat con- servation is one of the cornerstones of the conservation of biodiversity in Europe as laid down by the FFH Directive [27] and also at national level. Feral oilseed rape occupies mainly open and disturbed habitats, either naturally or by human intervention, and establishes as a ...
Konica Minolta supports the goals of a “nature positive” and “zero deforestation” society sought by the international community and promotes efforts to reduce the impact of its business activities on biodiversity by monitoring biodiversity risks and collaborating with various stakeholders. ...
The results of the analysis reveal whether mechanical recovery, in situ burning and/or chemical dispersants should be included in oil spill contingency plans for a given area, by a general assessment of the environmental pros and cons of the methods. In the EOS analysis, biological information ...

Given design-free observations were neither random nor systematic, tending instead to move along with and observe repeatedly denser aggregations, they were, by definition, more susceptible to bias (Cochran, 1977, Hansen et al., 2007). Our results show the effects of this lack of randomness were...

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...
