In these cases, it is important to understand species' use of agricultural land before further expansion or intensification of agricultural activities occurs. Agriculture in Iceland is still relatively low in intensity and extent, and internationally important populations of several breeding bird species ...
In subject area: Economics, Econometrics and Finance In land use planning, the term setback is used to delineate the distance that a building or a structure is away from a street or other feature such as a river or shoreline. From: Hazard Mitigation in Emergency Management, 2016 ...
in soil quality and soilmicrobiome(Beare, Coleman, Crossley, Hendrix, & Odum, 1995; Sparling, 1997). The structure and function of soilmicrobial communitiesin a normal functioning terrestrial agroecosystem can be drastically altered by the use of excessive pesticides, thus impacting the soil ...
We discussed relations between the fauna and distribution of small rodents and land use of Yato landscape in the southwest Tama hills. As a result, Japanese large field mouse (Apodemus speciosus), house mouse (Mus musculus), brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) and harvest mouse (Micromys minutus) ...
While the regional distribution of non-native species is increasingly well documented for some taxa, global analyses of non-native species in local assemblages are still missing. Here, we use a worldwide collection of assemblages from five taxa - ants, b
Agriculture contributes to a decline in local species diversity and to above- and below-ground biotic homogenization. Here, we conduct a continental survey using 1185 soil samples and compare microbial communities from natural ecosystems (forest, grassla
we study the grassland plant biodiversity's change with the LUCC and intensity's change in the agriculture and pasture region.The four key findings are as follows:First,the species numbers are reducing with the enhance of the land use intensity.Poaceae and frobs show the trend of first ...
It also demonstrates the importance to nature-conservation of examining changes in large areas rather than in designated sites only. 展开 关键词: land use change habitat agriculture nature conservation Wales DOI: 10.1016/S0301-4797(05)80115-X 被引量: 19 ...
The heavily industrialised Kanpur region is the most polluted stretch of the Ganga river because of excessive pollutant discharge from the industries. Agricultural runoff along with climate change further adds to the pollution risk in this industrialised
A shift in the relative emphases of food and fibre production on the one hand, and recreation and environmental services on the other, is apparent. Against this changing backdrop, issues such as land transfer from agriculture, the impact of afforestation and the nature of land occupancy have ...
