These plans focus on anthropogenic carbon flows only, however, ignoring a potentially substantial contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations from biological respiration.
Figure 1 Analysis of global anthropogenic nitrogen flows suggests that the vast majority of land-based N inputs disappear in terrestrial ecosystems (soils) and at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments (groundwater, lakes and rivers).
In addition to these anthropogenic effects, freshwater flow, sediment discharges, tide propagation and Coriolis force are also found to play important roles in channel development within the estuary.
Virginia spiraea is adapted to low-competition, riparian scour-zone habitats (Ogle, 1991), and populations have declined because of habitat loss from anthropogenic alteration of flow regimes (Poff et al., 2007).
This method compares anthropogenic and natural flows according to the following sustainability criteria [17]: Principle 1: Anthropogenic mass flows must not alter global material cycles and; Principle 2: Anthropogenic mass flows must not alter the quality of local environmental compartments.
In this paper, we explore the interrelated dynamics of coastal population migration, economic instability, and anthropogenic phosphorus (P) flows.
This article formalizes a systematic water mass balance framework to quantify all anthropogenic and natural water flows into, water flows inside and effluents out of the industrial parks.
Anthropogenic disturbances of the flow regime were implemented in detail in the hydrological analysis.
The heat island circulation, caused mainly by anthropogenic heating, induced reverse flow at the downwind part of the city.
The cumulative difference over the 50-year period is ~510 km3, which suggests that, based on the model simulations, almost half of the change in sea volume can be attributed to direct anthropogenic alteration of river flow.
