Referring to the manifold studies and the long-term experiences of the restoration of near-natural ecosystems and traditional land-use types, respectively, examples from all over the world are outlined. Additionally to rewilding as a progressive approach to nature conservation, letting nature take care...
Study on the form partitioning and content of heavy metals in soil particles with different sizes is crucial for preventing and controlling heavy metals pollution, but few studies regard soil contaminated by heavy metals as a homogeneous body. In this study (Fig. 1), goat manure, lime and phos...
Indeed, both greenspace113 and air pollution114 have been previously linked to asthma prevalence or severity, and these effects are mirrored in the observed slopes for the whole UKB samples analyzed here as well. Greenspace reduces the incidence of elevated interleukin-8 (IL8) in serum115, ...
The results demonstrated that the total abundance of microplastics in all sites lied within the range of 875卤229-6075卤865nkg -1 , and had an average value of 2522卤1276nkg -1 ('n' being the number of microplastics). The abundance of microplastics in dry land had the highest value, ...
