Intensive ungulate browsing significantly impacts forests worldwide. However, it is usually not single browsing events that lead to sapling mortality, but the little-researched interactions of browsed saplings with their biotic and abiotic environment. (
randomly allocated patients eligible for targeted lung volume reduction to receive either LVRS or BLVR procedures. The i-BODE score was used to compare one-year outcomes. This composite disease severity scale includes body mass index, airflow blockage, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), and the subjec...
Agricultural field margins are often recommended as a cost-effective and efficient method for wild bee conservation, in response to the threat imposed by global pollinator declines as a result of intensive agricultural practices. In this study we compared margin characteristics and wild bee community ...
Mediterranean coastal dune systems: which abiotic factors have the most influence on plant communities? Estuar. Coast. Shelf Sci. 149, 213e222.Ruocco M, Bertoni D, Sarti G, Ciccarelli D. Mediterranean coastal dune systems: Which abiotic factors have the most influence on plant communities?. ...
structure from sites with landscapes of varying agricultural intensity in order to (i) investigate if field margins are valuable for wild bee conservation in all types of landscapes, and (ii) determine which biotic and abiotic margin characteristics best support wild bee abundance and community ...
“Linking the UN Sustainable Development Goals to Life Cycle Impact Pathway Frameworks,” which recommends the use of LCA to monitor SDGs at the corporate level. Similarly, the adoption of the OEF/PEF, due to the fact that it includes the categories of human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity,...
Drought is one of the most serious abiotic stress factors affecting global crop yields [1]. Agriculture currently accounts for more than 70% of the world’s freshwater use (86% in developing countries), and this consumption is likely to increase as the global weather generally becomes drier and...
