Environmental impactGeochemistrySoils are key to ecosystems and human societies, and their critical importance requires a better understanding of how they evolve through time. However, identifying the role of natural climate change versus human activity (e.g. agriculture) on soil evolution is difficult...
Using seabird subfossils, such as bones, guano, eggshells etc., which have been well preserved on the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea, the author identifies the influences of climate change and human activity on seabird populations and diets. Understanding the past is of great importance ...
Climate changehealth impactrisk preventionMany factors influence the world's atmosphere and climate. Due to human activity, the concentration of "green house" gases is increasing resulting in rise of earth's surface temperature. As a result of global warming, the eco system is changing, having ...
The World Health Organisation estimates that the warming and precipitation trends due to anthropogenic climate change of the past 30 years already claim over 150,000 lives annually. Many prevalent human diseases are linked to climate fluctuations, fro
The Impact of Climate Change on Human Health Climate change is a global phenomenon that has become a pressing issue in recent years. It has been linked to several environmental challenges, including rising sea levels, droughts, floods, and extreme weather conditions. However, the impact of ...
3.3. Impact of the COVID-19 outbreak As discussed in Section 3.2, the WRF-CM-BEM can be used to estimate the impact of human behaviour change over several days on the urban climate. Here we applied this method to the COVID-19 outbreak. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the ...
At this point it is worth mentioning that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute a strategic sector of the Polish economy, not only due to their positive impact on regional development, but also because of their share in the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) and the ...
[36]; also, many South and Southeast Asian countries have already faced the adverse impact of climate change. With sea level rise and increase in ocean water temperature, it is likely that tropical cyclones will become more intense in future along with higher precipitation [37]. Therefore, it...
Atmospheric CO2 is on pace to surpass 550 ppm in the next 30–80 years. Many food crops grown under 550 ppm have protein, iron and zinc contents that are reduced by 3–17% compared with current conditions. We analysed the impact of elevated CO2
