We conclude that research on barriers and drivers to climate change adaptation is essential to better understand why efforts are so slow to take into consideration the obvious acceleration of the manifestations
As a result, their ability to provide ecosystem services is greatly diminished, which has severe implications for human wellbeing9,10. Hence, safeguarding, and rejuvenating mangrove habitats are of utmost importance, for restoring macrofaunal communities along degraded coasts. This measure effectively ...
From an evolutionary perspective, humans have grown in connection to a dynamic natural ecosystem; opportunities of exposure to its rich and mutable stimuli have consistently represented key drivers to tune the pulse of their lives [28]. Moving away from the outdoors, today humans spend most of th...
The design principles characterizing the solar neighborhood positively impact biodiversity, reintroducing animal species in areas they used to inhabit before human-induced transformations. The article is structured around ten questions concerning solar neighborhood planning and design (Fig. 1). Download: ...
“Shipping can’t stand still in a world of change,” she surmises. “It needs to evolve in line with growing challenges, opportunities and awareness. Arenas like Nor-Shipping have a role to play in that process.” Spiten is pleased to hear that the next Nor-Shipping, taking place in ...
2020). The study aims to investigate: (1) vegetation and climate dynamics in the Mid-Kama region during the Holocene; (2) human impact on the local ecosystems and influence of environmental conditions on human communities; (3) role of wild- and human-induced fires in the ecosystem dynamics ...
Long-term or large-scale data sets gen- erally provide more accurate estimates of phenological sensi- tivity to environmental drivers (Primack et al. 2009; Gallinat et al. 2018; Bolmgren et al. 2012). However, some research questions require finer-scale phenology observations or can ...
air relative humidity, and air velocity; (2) personal factors, including human metabolic rates and clothing insulation; and (3) thermal adaptation of the individual occupant, which is correlated with factors such as geographic location, climate, time of year, gender, race, and age [26,27]. ...
Here, we use the term microbiome to refer to the collection of microorganisms inhabiting a particular environment and, in this case, those found in structures built primarily for human occupancy. Research interest in the microbiology of built environments is high (the number of publications on this...
Unique to the number of existing studies focussing primarily on measured environmental implications of the pandemic-related restrictions (Shakil et al.2020), this research addresses a topic that has been often neglected, namely assessing the human perceptions towards air quality and its change. In par...
