The natural resources such as oil, forests and freshwater are being consumed at an alarming rate. What problems does this cause? How can we solve these problems? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. Tas...
and industrial activities. The problem is especiallyacutein developing countries that may lackinfrastructureto properly dispose of solid waste or that may have inadequate resources orregulationto limit improper disposal. In some places solid waste is intentionally dumped into bodies of water.Land pollution...
Environmental degradation is the deterioration in the quality of the environment due the depletion of natural resources. The effect of the degradation is inferior quality of elements such as water, air, and soil. Earth is currently facing many environmental problems, many of which are human-caused...
Some of the same studies have already made advances in creating order in this conceptual proliferation, focusing on the precise conceptualisation of the goals of different ecosystems and their unit of analysis (the ‘who’ and ‘what’ that make up these ecosystems) (Scaringella and Radziwon, ...
aurea. However, in the recent years, the deterioration of the ecological environment and the over-artificial digging had led to the shortage of the resources of wild L. aurea. Thus, to ini- tiate the artificial cultivation of L. aurea is of theoretical importance and practical significance ...
Poverty and the use of destructive fishing gear near east African marine protected areas Poverty may be an important influence on the exploitation of marine resources in tropical developing countries. A number of studies have hypothesized that ... JE Cinner - 《Environmental Conservation》 被引量: ...
Ecosystem refers to an interdependent group of natural elements and organisms that exist in a particular environment and the habitat with which these elements interact. Ecosystems are important because they sustain the natural world, providing humans with the resources we require in order to live and...
Moreover,the predominantly steep slopes put these resources atparticular risk from some forms of degradation. Landdegradation is therefore an even more serious threat inBhutan than in most places. This is recognised in policy,vision, and review documents, such as the Biodiversity ActionPlan (MOA, ...
This logic leads to some of the most widely tested predictions in environmental filtering studies; species at a site would exhibit phenotypic convergence, relative to a null expectation based on random sampling from the species pool10. When species interactions are the main determinant factor (e.g...
Using 151 1-ha plots, we related tree and arborescent palm species richness to carbon stock, timber stock and NTFP abundance across the Guiana Shield, and using 283 1-ha plots, to carbon stock across all of Amazonia. We analysed how environmental heterogeneity influenced these relationships, ...
