We believe that determining the conditions under which ecological science can enlighten policy decisions is now necessary to address current biodiversity conservation issues. This can only be achieved through the promotion of interdisciplinary research.doi:10.1111/ele.13613...
What is ecological ethics? Sensitive Ecosystems: Some ecosystems are quite resilient, able to survive and adapt to significant changes. Other ecosystems however may have a limited ability to adapt, leading to large changes to the ecology of a region if it is even slightly disturbed. ...
Distinguish between environmental science, ecology, and environmentalism. Are humans capable of ecological maturity? Which hominin species were most like Homo sapiens? Human beings fall under which biological classification? What are five human-caused threats to biodiversity?
Yet both approaches need the “science” of wetland ecology (knowledge of soils, hydrology, vegetation, biogeochemistry, etc.) and the “engineering” of landscape and hydrologic design. 3. Early history of ecological engineering H.T. Odum is often described as the father of ecological engineering...

the urgency for change has led to increasing application of the term ‘innovation’ in environmental management and policy. Despite the promise of eco-innovations, the term is also used in diverse contexts with different underlying connotations that may eventually diminish its practical value. Most co...
The ecological process is extended even further through time as trees topple over, decay and provide critical habitat as nurse logs or coarse woody debris. In reference to space, the area of an ecosystem can vary greatly from tiny to vast. For example, a single tree is of smaller ...
While green tech has become increasingly popular in the modern age, elements of these business practices have been in use since the Industrial Revolution. Beginning in the early 19th century, scientists began to observe the ecological impacts of coal-burning industrial plants, and manufacturers have ...
