Most work to date has focused on various scenarios of heat exposure (Huang et al. 2011), although there are examples of projections of multiple other impacts, including respiratory disease (Orru et al. 2013), infectious diseases (Moors et al. 2013; Ogden et al. 2014), and malnutrition (Lloyd et al. 2011).
Ecosystems were, thus, suddenly and heavily influenced by multiple post-contact impacts, including pastoralism, plowing, changes in fire regimes, reduction of native grazers like elk and antelope, and the introduction of aggressive species from the other Mediterranean regions of the world.
Fish populations are increasingly affected by multiple human and natural impacts including exploitation, eutrophication, habitat alteration and climate change.
A study focused on the impacts of birth procedures, shows that multiple components of medical procedures have significant impacts, including: energy systems and material supply chain.
Importantly, results from both platforms indicated that multiple pathways are impacted, including amino acid metabolism, increasing the confidence in each approach.
Other solutions to potential community impacts include social and environmental impact assessment of projects, providing incentives for projects with multiple benefits, and reducing transaction costs for community based projects (CIFOR 2000).
Lastly, the flexural strength of PSC sleepers damaged by multiple impacts was improved by including steel fibers and more strands.
More dramatically, the multiple impact of conflicts - including forcibly displaced people and malnourished children - erode development in the very places that most need them.
Existing energy-based indicators are not designed to include multiple impacts and are too constrained to assess the sustainability of these processes.
"The results of our study should change the way we approach and understand land-surface heterogeneity and should impact multiple fields including meteorology, climate, hydrology, and remote sensing," says Gentine.
