Global Environmental Systems Anthropogenic classes do not create such a clear pattern (Table 6, Figure 3, Main Map). Class 1 is characterised by one of the lowest livestock density and human density, with the lowest accessibility. This class has the smallest area (1.98%) and is located at ...
To further complicate functional conclusions, the ChrXXI inversion has diverged in opposed directions between lake and stream stickleback in the Lake Constance and the Lake Geneva systems. This unexpected trend is unlikely to arise from drift in the young Geneva system: among the 50 most extreme ...
Social-ecological systems such as community gardens can promote landscape-scale ecosystem service flows through socio-ecological connectivity. But the nature of these flows (e.g., magnitude, direction) change with landscape biophysical and social heterogeneity. This may have important implications for how...
Authors submitting papers focused on the application of existing indicators or indicator systems, on demonstrations, or tests or minor methodological improvements on the basis of regional investigations, as well as condensed articles on new topics concerning ecological indication, are also invited to submi...
To prevent cross contamination, water samplers and filtration systems were washed with sterile water and thoroughly rinsed with the local water at each station before water collection and filtration. Water temperature, salinity, and pH of water samples were measured in situ. Chlorophyll-a, chemical ...
(New England Biolabs) and 40 ng template DNA. Forward primers were then fluorescently labeled so that they could be used for automated genotyping. The PCR products were treated with poly(A) at 65 °C for 30 min, then diluted in ddH2O if too concentrated and sized using the LIZ500 ...
The USEPA has committed to integrated environmental modeling for the assessment of complex problems, namely “a systems analysis-based approach to environmental assessment… [that] includes a set of interdependent science-based components (models, data, and assessment methods)… [and] is capable of ...
that socio-ecological systems are not only complex, dynamic and dissipative, but are also adaptive and display uncertain emergent properties, need to be at the core of any attempt aiming to transform persistent societal problems. A major insight from this growing body of work is that accepting ec...
Colonial systems’ impacts at large scales over ~400 years included: the substitution of native flora and fauna with newly imported species (Crosby, 1986); extensive deforestation (Grove, 1995; Tucker, 2000; Williams, 2006); and the replacement of Indigenous land use and food production with ...
