Its forest resources are intensively exploited, and its tree crops are harvested on peasant farms and commercial plantations.
Grass-fed livestock uses water, soil, and energy resources very intensively in ADB.
Carpathian Mountains represent a rich source of heavy metals for East European countries and these resources were intensively exploited for hundred years.
Conclusions Older adults with major depression in practices provided with additional resources to intensively manage depression had a mortality risk lower than that observed in usual care and similar to older adults without depression.
Fertile land is the scarcest resource in intensively managed landscapes [42].

The issues of efficient and fair allocation of resources have been intensively investigated in the context of economics, where utility functions have been used to quantify the benefit obtained from the usage of a pool of resources.
This difference enabled the study to evaluate whether a less ambitious, more streamlined (and potentially more sustainable and cost-effective), population-based, multi-factorial intervention could deliver comparable outcomes to the original, more intensively resourced study.
A mineral resource zone, rich in resources and energy, is intensively developed and disturbed by human activities, which causes an obvious change of landscapes.
Oxygen isotope analyses on shells of Osilinus turbinatus show that in the late Pleistocene the exploitation of marine molluscs at the Addaura caves, relatively close to the shoreline, was restricted to late autumn and winter, while at Grotta Niscemi, which is further inland, these resources were exploited less intensively but for longer in the year, from autumn to the early spring.
