Human Ecology: An Interdisciplinary Journal focuses on the complex systems of interaction between humans and their environment. Examines the roles of social, cultural, and psychological factors in the maintenance or disruption of ecosystems. Investigates the effects of population density on health, socia...
Humans can alter or even destroy freshwater ecosystems through the construction of hydroelectric dams or irrigation projects. Dams create reservoirs of water while artificially limiting the flow of water downstream of the project, which can significantly change the ecosystem on both sides of the construc...
Humanity's effects on the global environment have grown more and more significant since becoming the dominant species on Earth. According to Smithsonian Magazine, many scientists refer to the current geological time period as "The Anthropocene Era," meaning "the new period of man." Never before i...

on ecosystem services, and further proved the existence of threshold effects of influencing factors, two critical questions remain to be answered: (1) How do the synergistic effects of multiple factors affect ecosystem services; (2) and under what conditions do these threshold effects come to play...
Intensive abstraction and regulation cause river ecosystems to shift towards non-natural flow regimes, which might have implications for their water quality, biological structure and functioning. We performed a meta-analysis of published studies to assess the potential effects of water stress on ...
By Mike Stephen Humans have had a profoundly adverse impact on the environment. Failure to conduct activities like manufacturing, transportation, large-scale fishing, agriculture and waste disposal in moderation impacts the land, air and water. While the full range of long-term consequences of human...
