Another important reason to protect the environment is to prevent the negative effects of pollution. Pollution can cause a range of health problems, from respiratory issues to cancer. It can also harm wildlife and ecosystems, leading to a loss of biodiversity. Additionally, pollution can have a n...
many of them in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and California [1]. The increase in wildfires in recent years suggests that this population at risk has only grown. The single-day record for school closures due to wildfires (either direct effects or smoke related) was on November...
Some examples of abiotic resistance factors are soil quality, wildfires, and drought. Some examples of biotic resistance factors are disease, predation, species diversity, and competition for food with other species.What is Environmental Resistance? In ecology, the capacity of an ecosystem, like a ...

The debris can affect the thermal and chemical state of the atmosphere, for example altering its ability to screen ozone, facilitating acid rain and, in the case of Earth when temperatures are high enough, generating wildfires after vegetation had evolved. Environmental effects can occur without ...
Wildland firefighters, due to the nature of their work, are likely to see significantly increased environmental health risks as both hazards and their exposure increase due to the increased frequency and intensity of wildfires (Podur & Wotton 2010). Thus, wild- land firefighter environmental health...
Wildfires are intensifying as a result of rapid climate change. By integrating experimental observations with random forest model, the authors discovered that fires decouple soil biogeochemistry worldwide, providing critical insights for ecosystem management. ...
