Following our results, habitat heterogeneity should be created during the spoil heaping and subsequently supported by restoration management, especially by non-intensive disturbances.
Urbanization effects on ecosystem functions are both important and complex, characterized by scale multiplicity, spatial heterogeneity, and intensive human disturbances.
In EKB radar field-of-view, the most intensive Bn disturbances were observed at 1830 1900 UT on 14 December at AMD (Δ B n≈−850 nT) and at 1700 1930 UT on 2 January at DIK (Δ B n≈−1150 nT).
In soft sediment systems, where the level physical disturbance due to waves and tides is low, model results suggest that intensive trawling disturbance could cause large fluctuations in benthic chemical fluxes and storage.
The eastern Mediterranean region has been subjected to intensive human disturbance in the past 10,000 years, mainly in the forms of agro-pastoral activities such as grazing, shrub clearing, and prescribed burning.
Agriculture and urban development are highly unlikely to support biotic soil crust communities because of the intensive soil disturbance associated with these land uses.
The intensive stand-replacing disturbances occurring in the Piedmont ecoregion were a key factor leading to below-average NBP levels compared to other regions.
· Prompt and intensive correction of physiological disturbances preoperatively and postoperatively (hypoxemia, anaemia, electrolyte disturbances, acid base disturbances, dehydration, hypotension etc), based upon pre-defined protocols.
Defining the association between excessive noise in intensive care units, sleep disturbance and morbidity, including delirium, is confounded by the difficulty of implementing successful strategies to reduce patient's exposure to noise.
