This may help us to better evaluate historic effects of anthropogenic activities like dam or similar construction on landscape structure and its changes and predict possible changes, in case of new dams realization.
Natural processes and anthropogenic activities like; over extraction, urbanization and agricultural activities are the main reason for seawater intrusion and water quality deterioration in coastal aquifers (Mondal et al. 2011; Selvam et al. 2013).
Adaptation especially to human-altered anthropogenic stress (like insecticides) could be a significant factor promoting pest species invasions (Hufbauer et al. 2012).
The observed temporal variations of terrestrial and anthropogenic humic-like DOM fluorescent materials were not necessarily dependent on the timing of river runoffs and rainfall frequency on the shelf, but also on other factors (i.e., suspension of sediments in shallow water induced by wind-driven mixing, dilution, hypersalinity conditions).
Soundscapes — composed of biological utterances like birdcalls, geophysical commotions like wind and running water and anthropogenic noises like motors — are "an acoustic reflection of the patterns and processes of the landscape," the paper's lead author, Bryan Pijanowski, an ecologist at Purdue University, told me.
But methane is also released in significant amounts by anthropogenic sources like fossil fuels, landfills, ruminants like cows, and rice cultivation.
The increase of peptide-like components in water can also indicate an anthropogenic impact, like wastewater input [24].
With the increase of the interconnections and interdependencies between urban critical infrastructures (UCIs), natural and anthropogenic triggers like typhoons, earthquakes, and fires are more likely to generate secondary emergencies and escalate into cascading disasters.
Like other mangrove ecosystems, Sundarban is also highly degraded by anthropogenic activities, like industrial, domestic, and shipping activities (Baneerjee et al. 2012, Banerjee et al. 2012).
Anthropogenic disturbances, like roads, increase the landscape fragmentation and affect wildlife migration and biodiversity.
