Mutualistic biotic interactions as among flowering plants and their animal pollinators are a key component of biodiversity. Pollination, especially by insects, is element in ecosystem functioning, hence constitutes an service global importance. Not only sexual reproduction ensured, but also yields stabilized genetic variability crops maintained, counteracting inbreeding depression facilitating system resilience. While experiencing rapid environmental change, there increased demand for food...

Climate change has created potential major threats to global biodiversity. The multiple components of climate are projected affect all pillars biodiversity, from genes over species biome level. Of particular concerns “tipping points” where the exceedance ecosystem thresholds will possibly lead irreversible shifts ecosystems and their functioning. As biodiversity underlies goods services provided by that crucial for human survival wellbeing, this paper presents effects on its plausible...

Water resources are increasingly vulnerable due to the effects of climate change, which influences both their availability and quality. It is crucial incorporate change adaptation strategies into water resource management address these challenges support sustainable practices. This article provides a critical overview recent advancements in this integration, addressing theoretical frameworks practical applications. The discussion highlights importance distinguishing between mitigation...

Bamboo is an abundant resource in Ethiopia and has a great potential for commercialization, which can drive rural development. In view of these realities, this study analyzed the state determinants small-scale bamboo commercialization Ethiopia. Data were collected from three major bamboo-growing districts (Awi, Sidama, Sheka) four urban centers (Masha, Hawassa, Bahir Dar, Addis Ababa) via semi-structured interviews, group discussions, questionnaire surveys with key actors along value chain....

Savannas and adjacent vegetation types like gallery forests are highly valuable ecosystems contributing to several ecosystem services including carbon budgeting. Financial mechanisms such as REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation Forest Degradation) can provide an opportunity for developing countries alleviate poverty through conservation of its forestry resources. However, availing opportunities stock assessments essential. Therefore, a research study this purpose was conducted at two...

Sites that as national park wildlife act Nepal ignored such receive little attention terms This study aimed fill...

<p>The agricultural sector of Andean countries like Peru and Bolivia perceives the consequences climate change in increasing water stress due to melting glaciers changing precipitation patterns. Therefore mainly subsistence systems are increasingly vulnerable. Traditional inhabitants tropical region aware recurrent diversity related impacts its consequences, thus livelihood strategies based on principles risk management. farmers nowadays applying traditional a combination homegrown...

Abstract Estimations of Leaf Area Index (LAI) have recently gained attention due to the sensitivity effects climate change and its impact on forest ecosystems. Hence, a study was conducted LAI estimation four vegetation types: (i) gallery forests, (ii) woodland savannas, (iii) tree (iv) shrub at two protected areas Nazinga Game Ranch Bontioli Nature Reserve, Burkina Faso. A relationship between Crown Diameter also investigated these sites. Digital hemispherical photography used for...

Savannas and adjacent vegetation types like gallery forests are highly valuable ecosystems contributing to several ecosystem services including carbon budgeting. Financial mechanisms such as REDD+ have provided an opportunity for developing countries alleviate poverty through conservation of its forestry resources. For availing this stock assessments essential. Therefore, a research study at two protected areas i.e. Nazinga Game Ranch Bontioli Nature Reserve, in Burkina Faso was conducted...

The increase in extreme weather events is a major consequence of climate change tropical mountain rangeslike the Andes Peru. impact on farming households growing interest since adaptation and mitigation strategies are required to keep race with environmental conditions prevent people from increasing poverty. In this regard it becomes more obvious that bottom-up approach incorporating local socioeconomic processes their interplay needed. Socio-economic field laboratories used understand such...

Summary Two cases of middle‐aged female patients treated by gastric bypass surgery for weight loss presented to our clinic a follow‐up examination 3‐6 months after the surgical procedure (a mini and modified single anastomosis sleeve‐ileostomy). In both increased ACTH levels either high serum cortisol or an urinary excretion was apparent triggered further endocrine testing. Serum could not be suppressed adequately 2 4 mg dexamethasone in standardized oral overnight suppression test while...

Abstract Cities comprise the major challenges for sustainable development and are key contributors to sustainability indicators in a country. However, research assessing performance often focuses on national level, overlooking role of urban areas. To evaluate city toward pathway, this paper proposes goals (SDGs) Dashboard Brazilian Cities, with comprehensive assessment their specific based SDG Index methodology (UNSDSN). The 19 country’s most populous metropolitan areas (MAs) were...
