"This agreement simultaneously maintains a managed forest landscape, conserves ecological resources and supports the local economy," he said.
Delimiting UGBs to restrain chaotic expansion and conserve ecological areas is actually a spatial optimization problem.
However, not all microbes respond similarly to rewetting events, indicating adaptation in life strategies that may be phylogenetically conserved ecological traits [12, 13].
We then applied the method in an area of the boreal forest (Ontario, Canada) where the objective of Ontario's strategic forest management planning approach is, in part, to conserve ecological integrity through the emulation of the natural disturbance process.
Within the allopatric populations of both H. burgessi and H. spinigularis, we find conserved ecological niche/environmental tolerance despite population distances greater than most peripatric species pairs, and no evidence of population bottlenecks.
Arendt (1996) subsequently developed McHarg's approach into in a theory of conservation design, sometimes called 'cluster development.' He called for conserving the ecological attributes of development sites by clustering buildings and reducing lot sizes, while maintaining the overall density specified by local ordinances.
In the face of the increasing loss and redistribution of species, conserving the ecological and social values of biodiversity will require an increasingly interventionist role.
Conservation subdivisions have emerged as a development option for communities wishing to conserve important ecological features and maintain rural character without decreasing housing density.
In Amazonia, the effect of logging on fauna and the ability of reduced-impact logging (RIL) techniques to conserve the ecological integrity of forests is not well understood.
According to the concept of niche conservatism (Wiens 2004; Wiens and Donoghue 2004), lineages tend to conserve their ecological niche through time, the set of environmental conditions in which lineages can reproduce and maintain viable populations.
