In 1977, the United States and other countries signed a treaty forbidding the hostile use of environmental modification.
Niche construction is the process of environmental modification by organisms.
This method of environmental modification combined with mollusciciding was highly effective at eliminating snails.
This study demonstrates that engineering specifications for environmental modification were successfully established.
Environmental modification, mainly through beach and ditch remediation, can completely change the environment of Oncomelania breeding.
Areas for potential intervention include environmental modification, improved engineering features of motor vehicle and other products, and promotion of safe behaviours through social marketing, legislation, and law enforcement.
Environmental modification through construction behaviour may have influenced both chimpanzee and early hominin ranging, and thus leaves behind recognisable patterns of artefact deposition across the landscape.
It is subject to great environmental modification because of their dense population, and deterioration in the coastal land use patterns such as urbanization, development of industries and agricultural activities.
Niche construction theory (NCT) emphasizes how acquired characters play an evolutionary role through transforming selective environments, a point germane to human evolution, where we see extensive environmental modification through cultural practices.
Two general kinds of biotic mediation – direct and indirect – and two general mechanisms of invasive species impact – assimilatory dissimilatory (uptake and release of energy and materials) and physical ecosystem engineering (physical environmental modification by organisms) – are most relevant.
Reduction of child death rate needs long process of research, lobbying, legislation, environmental modification, public education, and significant improvements in accident and emergency services in addition a better overlap between research findings, policy development and current practice in the interests of children at risk of abuse (UNICEF, 2003) (Duncanson et al., 2009).
