Spatial clumping of investment was calculated relative to distance between locations (Kernels contour analysis, Fig. 3).
Areas with lower priority do not necessarily have a low value for conservation – this simply indicates that there are more spatial options for investment to meet the targets for the features they contain [32].
Besides lacking spatial consideration, infrastructure investments also lack a time specification.
Species appropriate to home aquaria represent considerable spatial and financial investments as they generally approach adult lengths of 3 feet and can live up to 25 years.
Incorporating the predicted impacts of climate change results in a substantial spatial shift in conservation investments (Figure 4).
Significant improvements in education, workforce training, research and innovation, spatial planning and wider infrastructure investment are also needed.
By offering geographically-specific information about the status of youth, strengths and challenges, potential areas for investigation and investment, and emerging spatial disparities, the index also offers a basis for targeted action by policy-makers, program leaders and advocacy groups.
In the present study, we test for prior residence effects on growth, energy density, incidence of maturation and gonadal investment, survival and spatial distribution of hatchery reared Atlantic salmon yearlings released at two different times (separated by 4 days) in a natural stream.
green product design; reverse logistics; total lifecycle assessment; selection (also, at spatial level) of main suppliers; investments and technologies in production and distribution; choice of procurement materials; choice of modes of transport.
Viewing the world in terms of the threats imposed on freshwater provisions combined with regional capacity to abate these impairments through infrastructure investments yields a spatial typology of freshwater resource development states reflecting region-specific challenges with unique management implications.
