The harvesting of wild animals and plants for international trade affects thousands of species, and compounds ongoing extinction threats such as habitat loss and climate change (1–4). The loss of overexploited species can result in cascading effects that reduce overall ecosystem functioning (4,5)....
Humans depend on plants, animals, and fungi for survival, and those working to achieve global targets to halt biodiversity loss deserve nothing but support. To recognize the importance of conservation work and the risks it too often entails, countries should make explicit their commitment to ...
This will improve the habitat and diversity of the plants in Lakshadweep. The islands have a crown cover of mostly high-density coconut. Therefore further greening of the islands should be need based on the availability of land, peoples demand, species suitability, etc. Differentagroforestrymodels ...
According to the United States Natural Resources Conservation Council, soil health is defined as “the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans”. From: Nano-Enabled Sustainable and Precision Agriculture, 2023 ...
EwA monitors the developmental phases (phenology) of some 140 species of plants and animals in Middlesex County (Massachusetts, U.S.) To date, EwA participatory scientists have recorded over half a million seasonal records through the EwA Phenology Project–as a partnership with the USA National ...
of wilderness, nativeness, and idealized, "pristine" systems free from human control and management (Marris 2011). It therefore also signals a potential change in conservation philosophy and ethics toward a more pragmatic and manipulative model of human-nature relationships, at least in certai...
The Law of Conservation of Mass holds true because naturally occurring elements are very stable at the conditions found on the surface of the Earth. Most elements come from fusion reactions found only in stars or supernovae. Therefore, in the everyday world of Earth, from the peak of the ...
in 1930 by Antonis Benakis in memory of his father Emmanuel Benakis, the Benaki Museum houses Greek works of art from prehistoric to modern times and an extensive collection of Asian art. It also hosts periodic exhibitions and maintains a state-of-the-art restoration and conservation workshop....
Plant Bio-innovation is developing in the field of medication interfacing Plant Biotechnology and bioinformatics; the sub-atomic portrayal of restorative plants; sub-atomic cultivating; and leads from science, nanotechnology, pharmacology, horticulture, agriculture, Biomass and biofuels too. The worldwide ...
In this area, near Hogsback (Figure 1 for location), there are good examples of this biogeographic principle, making it a fascinating natural laboratory for studying the evolution of plants and animals. Endemic animals in this area are characterised by small body size and low mobility. This is...
