Roads are a prominent feature of many landscapes, and high road densities create correspondingly high ecological impacts by altering landscape patterns, interrupting ecological flows, increasing erosion, fragmenting habitat, and facilitating the spread of invasive species.
Participants who perceived higher ecological impact due to risks to water environments had less water-intensive (more desert-friendly) landscape in their gardens.
As a result, in presence of fiber-reinforced concrete, despite the higher ecological impact than plain concrete, the best eco-mechanical performances are generally measured at each stage of concrete life.
The human activities with the highest economic and ecological impact in the study area (commercial and recreational fishing and scuba diving) were used as costs.
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are important predators in high latitudes, where their ecological impact is mediated through their movements.
The public demand for such infrastructures is high level of service and performance, high durability and minimum negative ecological impact.
Our observations that infection of swans with such "ordinary" LPAI H6 viruses can result in altered migratory and feeding patterns may indicate that LPAI virus infections in wild birds have a higher clinical, epidemiological, and ecological impact than previously recognised.
If pollinators disappear, there will be huge ecological impacts.
This apprehension is especially acute regarding those lucrative industries, such as mining, that have drastic environmental impacts that impose high ecological liabilities and whose post-disturbance landscapes have so few parallels in the natural realm (Foster et al. 1998).
An energy system solution could be found with the lowest ecological impact and the highest financial revenue.
