However, radioactive contaminants resulting from weapons detonations or nuclear industrial accidents can also provide important basic information on basic ecological processes as well as applied information concerning radioactive contaminants in both agricultural systems and natural food chains (involving edible fish and game species) leading to man.
Apart from the policy and management considerations, the spread of non-native species offers many insights into biological and ecological processes as well as into the links between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and socio-economic impacts.
It was also observed that actors at the local level have a strong explicit understanding of ecological processes as well as spatial relations (e.g., upstream and downstream water flows).
By taking a closer look at the contemporary site selection process as well as its historical background, we show that ecological, socio-economic and political considerations cannot always be easily separated.
Development works reported by many studies on novel high performance biodegradable lubricants focus on reducing the market price, ecological compatibility, processes as well as technical performances [3].
Soil moisture is a key engineering variable with major influence on ecological and hydrological processes as well as in climate, weather, agricultural, civil and geotechnical applications.
Patterns of population genetic differentiation of an organism are shaped by various factors, such as geographical barriers, ecological difference, and historical processes, as well as the dispersal ability of the species.
Vermeulen moved beyond photography, building art installations using ecological processes as a central component.
Moreover, the paper analyzes the hydrological, nutrient cycling and biological processes as well as other ecological processes associated with this type of pond ditch courtyard farmland-system.
The knowledge of short-term bed-level changes is important both for assessing sediment transport processes as well as for understanding critical ecological processes, such as vegetation recruitment on tidal flats.
