The antioxidant ascorbic acid protects hippocampal pyramidal neurons against cell death during congenital lead exposure; however, critical functions like synaptic transmission, integration, and plasticity depend on preservation of dendritic and somal morphology.
Newness need not entail the rejection of older styles but rather depends on the preservation and extension of all styles.
The Nature Conservancy and its CEO Mark Tercek have seized on the story of natural capital to make a pragmatic argument to business – that the global economy depends on the preservation of natural resources and, therefore, smart companies will get behind the environmental movement.
CBM reservoir accumulation depends on the preservation conditions resulting from tectonic uplift.
Sustainability of crop production systems depends on the preservation of soil physical quality over time.
The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as vaginal probiotic cultures depends on the preservation technologies employed by the related industries.
Whether dispersal limitation is due to increased insularity from regional sources for epiphyll recolonization or rather to lowered within-fragment dispersal potential is unknown; nonetheless, the long-term persistence of these microscopic plant metacommunities depends on the preservation of rain forest reserves of at least 100-ha in size.
Called "Colorado's Crown Jewel" by Governor John Hickenlooper, the Divide is at the center of a battle between oil and gas interests and the area's other stakeholders: hunters, ranchers, environmentalists, and the small towns whose livelihoods depend on its preservation.
Old-growth forests can therefore be predicted to depend on the preservation of species-rich patches for the maintenance of the architecture of their interactions; while, in disturbed forests, all sites or patches will be roughly equivalent.
All living organisms depend on faithful preservation and transmission of genetic information to the next generation.
