Humans require multiple natural resources for their wellbeing and assign different portions of their efforts to secure resources due to their limited time and energy. When one resource is scarce, it may be replaced with a substitute which may fully or partially cover the shortage. However, existin...
Why is it important to fight desertification? How does climate change affect the Amazon rainforest? How does intensive farming affect climate change? How does climate variability affect water? How do glaciers affect the climate? How does global warming cause droughts?
2021). This reliance on God and religion indicates its essential role in the value Indigenous peoples assign to IK and its incorporation into adaptation policies (de Scally and Doberstein 2022). Similarly, cultural beliefs also contribute to conservation, adaptation and resilience. The Mirriwong ...

Because fire is difficult to study, some similar ecological processes can be used to approximate specific effects in isolation, which could then contribute to supporting our synthetic framework (Fig.1). For example, lessons from oil spills and related chemical disasters could be used to inform pyro...
Global warming is a significant increase in the Earth's climatic temperature over a relatively short period of time as a result of the activities of humans. In specific terms, an increase of 1 or more degrees Celsius in a period of one hundred to two hundred years would be considered global...
