Marine biologists have documented the complex relationships between corals, algae, fish, and countless other organisms that comprise a reef ecosystem. Their research reveals how these creatures rely on each other for survival, forming a delicate balance threatened by climate change and pollution. Here’...
Frosty mornings and cosy fires can be just as romantic as the tropics, and there's plenty of cool-climate luxury to be found inTasmania. Pumphouse Point promises a stay that will have you immersed in the calming beauty of nature. Whether you sleep suspended over the mirrored waters of...
Folks here live on the edge of a vibrant marine ecosystem. I have seen a spectacular range of sea life, from tiny, beautiful nudibranchs to a humpback whale, which swam past me last season while I was on the deco line. In addition to critters, the seafloor off the coast has hundreds ...
(2023) argue that traditional approaches to a CE are limiting and need a fresh perspective. They propose a complete overhaul of interior design methodology to create a sustainable circular design ecosystem. The existing linear process of design education must be reimagined, guided by four key ...
Although N and P are limiting factors for vegetation [58], we found no evidence that mangrove degradation was associated with high nutrient concentrations. Therefore, massive tree mortality must be due to regulators such as high concentration of sulfides and alterations of the hydroperiod. There ...
[1], providing an elevated number of ecosystem services such as the maintenance of marine biodiversity (including species of commercial interest), buffering of strong water movement leading to protection of the coastline against erosion, nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, among others [2,4,5...
Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive and complex ecosystems, are continuously exposed to a variety of both direct anthropogenic disturbances: e.g., sewage, nutrient enrichment, and diving activities [1]; and indirect ones: e.g., water thermal stress and acidification [2,3]. In many cases...
