Forests are spatially and temporally dynamic, such that forest degradation is best quantified across whole landscapes and over the long term. The European Union’s forest degradation policy, which focuses on contemporary primary forest conversion to plantations, ignores other globally prevalent forestry pr...
The term lfc,s,r represents total store cattle numbers and lg is the area of the farm-type “lowland-grazing” in each soil/rain class (s) and region (r). 2.1.8. Feed availability Livestock numbers were also limited by total feed availability. The ME requirements of the livestock being...
On the other hand, most plants usually have a transient and rapid compensatory growth after experiencing short-term stress during growth, and appropriate mild stress helps plants to better adapt to the external environment [30,31,32]. In ecology, it is usually called the growth compensation ...
Khan (2019) examined the long-term and short-term relations of environmental regulation to carbon emissions using the ARDL model, and found that environmental regulation and carbon emissions have negative correlations in both the short- and long-terms. Therefore, the enhancement of green credit ...
with a peak reaching 5.8 mg g−1in the soil guano samples, likely reflecting a certain degree of influence from the soil. These Fe concentrations of guano samples are also consistent with the Chinstrap penguin’s main food source, the Antarctic krill, which acts like long-term Fe reser...
The WC refers to chimneys, snorkels and periscopes using the term ‘parallel grafts’. 1.4. Organization 1.4.1. Aortic team definition The WC advocates that an aortic team should be closely involved from diagnosis to treatment and finally follow-up and should be led by members from cardiac and...

(6) the imaginary value. Over the years the understanding of the term quality has changed from the former more product- and process-oriented evaluation of product quality to a more consumer-oriented one (Kramer and Twigg1970; Shewfelt and Brückner2000). Of course this has strong implications ...
(2013), after episodes of intense and frequent fires that exceed forest resilience, restoration may be a long-term process. Therefore, the knowledge about extreme thermal conditions is essential to understand the relationship of climate change (warming) and human activities (deforestation, fire) with...
chains, such as providing self-produced heat for a local supply network; (2) on the social level, the interest in contributing to a secure supply with basic commodities such as food and energy; and (3) on the ecological level, the interest in proactively protecting long-term soil fertility...
