Increasing livestock numbers, land modification and climate change are new threats which may affect tolerance to fruit harvesting.
In the climate realm, the Commission's suggestions include forming an "International Carbon Monitoring Entity" and a "Climate Engineering Advisory Board," and it devotes welcome attention to atmospheric modification and climate adaptation -- rather than concentrating exclusively on emissions reduction.
Studies of this sort in conjunction with studies of demography, physiology, and nesting success have particular potential to help us understand the effects of trends in habitat modification and climate on avian populations.
The impact of human migration, man-made ecological modifications, and climate and vector behavior on malaria transmission is extremely complex to study and quantify.
Major categories of threats are habitat degradation, water pollution, flow modification, species invasion, overexploitation, and climate change.
Hydrological modeling is explored as an operational tool for effective assessment of changes in hydrological processes relating to modification of land cover and climate change.
Possible threats that could lead to genetic erosion in wild species populations include fires, grazing pressure, invasive species, deforestation, habitat modification and degradation, urbanization, and climate change, among others [5].
In addition, provisioning (seafood), air purification and climate modification were recognised.
As laid out here, in 1977 a report by the House that accompanied an update to the law mentioned "possible weather and climate modifications" among the risks to particulate matter it was seeking to regulate.
One possibility is that the British government, through the Department of Energy and Climate Change, might require modification to the fracking process.
Nonetheless, the Mekong River Basin is changing rapidly due to accelerating water infrastructure development (hydropower, irrigation, flood control, and water supply) and climate change, bringing considerable modifications to the flood pulse of the Tonle Sap Lake in the foreseeable future.
