Land use alteration is recognized as a threat for many aquatic species, but demographic drivers of land use associated declines are poorly studied.
Given the severe changes in American landscapes and biotas resulting from land use, alteration of hydrology and chemistry, and climate change, concepts of the purity of native communities may not be practical for application to abundant, widespread, long-present non-native taxa such as Old World Phragmites.
Results suggest that soil organic C (SOC) pools in agroforestry and sugarcane systems could be decomposed under land use alterations.
Additionally, we evaluate differences in SOM chemistry from paired native grassland, native trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forest, and arable soil profiles to investigate the effects of likely climate-induced land use alterations.
The social aspects of adopting the AV and especially who will be able to access it and who will not; the travel behaviour implication of eliminating the need to drive; the infrastructure investment and the land use alterations required; all need to be carefully assessed within a research framework which is free from any commercially vested interests.
Population growth and land use alterations are the primary bases for increased wildfire events worldwide.
In contrast, highland malaria in Africa has more often been attributed to land use alterations, malaria treatment resistance, changes in vector control measures, and human migration into foothill and mountainous regions (3 ).
This study assessed relationships between soil structural quality responses to land use change (LUC) and alterations in soil macrofauna in arable tropical soils.
The objectives of such planning should respond to regional and long-term design needs, which can maximize human-life quality, achieve a balance between ecological and engineering approaches to land-use alteration, and lead to sustainable groundwater resources.
Deforestation and land use change continue to intensely alter ecosystems, and the migratory processes accelerated by the expansion of the communications network lead to a process of transculturation and alteration of traditional models of appropriation of natural resources.
Drastic alterations to river hydrology, land use change, and the spread of the nonnative shrub, tamarisk (Tamarix spp ., have led to the degradation of riparian habitat in the Colorado River Delta in Mexico.
