Summary The presence of dams, stream–road crossings and other infrastructure often compromises the connectivity rivers, leading to reduced fish abundance diversity. assessment mitigation river barriers is critical success restoration efforts aimed at restoring integrity. In this study, we present a combined modelling approach involving statistical regression methods mixed integer linear programming maximize resident species richness within catchment through targeted barrier mitigation....
Biodiversity underpins the supply of ecosystem services essential for well-being and economic development, yet biodiversity loss continues at a substantial rate. Linking indicators with national accounts provides means mainstreaming into planning monitoring processes. Here we examine various strategies to be linked accounts, specifically System Environmental-Economic Accounts Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EEA) framework. We present what has been achieved in practice, using case...
Natural capital assets are currently under pressure globally. This may result in changes the function of ecological systems and associated ecosystem services, resulting benefits derived by people. The loss natural also translates into economic business risk. While advances have been made to understand classify linkages between such services that combine enable service provision less well established. An agreed classification is required standardise their identification, description...
Abstract Infrastructure, such as dams, weirs and culverts, disrupt the longitudinal connectivity of rivers, causing adverse impacts on fish other aquatic species. Improving passage at artificial barriers, accordingly, can be an especially effective economical river restoration option. In this article, we propose a novel, mixed integer programing model for optimizing barrier mitigation decisions given limited budget. Rather than simply treating barriers being impassable or not, consider more...
The COVID-19 pandemic and related social economic emergencies induced massive public spending increased global debt. Economic recovery is now an opportunity to rebuild natural capital alongside financial, physical, human capital, for long-term societal benefit. Yet, current decision-making dominated by imperatives information systems that do not consider society's dependence on the ecosystem services it provides. New international standards accounting (NCA) are available integrate...
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) provides a statistical framework for measuring ecosystems and the services they supply, complementing National (SNA). Although accounting protected areas (PAs) is proposed in SEEA EA would provide consistent useful information on PAs, it has not yet been widely implemented. This article examines different possibilities applying to PAs by reviewing existing work that field, including case studies South Africa, Uganda...
A full-scale physical model of a modified infiltration trench was constructed to test new storm water best management practice called an ecology ditch. The ditch using compost, sand, and gravel, perforated drain pipe. series 14 tests were conducted on the model. controlled rainfall application overland roadway runoff amounts monitored outflow from discharge objectives increase time peak reduce coming out results also used calibrate existing unsaturated two-dimensional groundwater flow code....
Passive design strategy is an important approach to reduce energy consumption of a building such as improving indoor thermal comfort through enhanced natural ventilation performance.This crucial in achieving more sustainable especially for tall high density residential development where huge.This paper looks into the potential high-rise buildings utilize abundant naturally available prevailing wind by mean passive strategy.Its objective investigate improve performance single-sided...
Cross ventilation is a more effective strategy in comparison to single-sided ventilation. In the NSW Residential Flat Design Code1 (RFDC) majority of apartments are required adopt cross However, case studio and one-bedroom apartments, it acknowledged that may prevail. Deep plan achieve lower amenity summer thermal comfort indoor air quality where mechanical not provided by conditioning. Since compliance with code allow up 40% development Sydney be single sided, important understand natural...
