Urban Green Infrastructure (GI) provides multiple benefits to city inhabitants and can be an important component in nature-based solutions (NBS), but the ecosystem services that underpin those are inconsistently quantified literature. There remain substantial knowledge gaps about level of service supported by less studied GI types, e.g. cemeteries, or less-studied services, noise mitigation. Decision-makers planners cities often face conflicting incomplete information on effectiveness GI,...
To maximize the utility of research to decisionmaking, especially given limited financial resources, scientists must set priorities for their efforts. We present a list top 40 high-priority, multidisciplinary questions directed toward informing some most important current and future decisions about management species, communities, ecological processes in United States. The were generated by an open, inclusive process that included personal interviews with decisionmakers, broad solicitation...
A prototype small animal imaging system was created for coupling fluorescence tomography (FT) with x-ray microcomputed (microCT). The FT has the potential to provide synergistic information content resultant from using microCT images as prior spatial and then allows overlay of image onto original image. designed use single photon counting maximal sensitivity measurements in a noncontact geometry. Five parallel detector locations are used, each allowing simultaneous sampling transmitted...
The global aquatic pet trade encompasses a wide diversity of freshwater and marine organisms. While relying on continual supply healthy, vibrant animals, few sustainability initiatives exist within this sector. Public aquariums overlap industry by acquiring many the same species through sources. End users are also similar, as aquarium visitors home aquarists. Here we posit that with gives significant opportunity to increase in fishes invertebrates. Improving ethos practices can carry...
It is widely acknowledged that waterbodies are becoming increasingly affected by a wide range of drivers change arising from human activity. To illustrate how this can be quantified linked modelling approach was applied in the Thames river basin southern UK. Changes to flows, water temperature, and reservoir quality were predicted under three contrasting future "storylines"; one an extension present day rates economic development, others representing more extreme less sustainable visions....
Abstract. The Phosphorus Indicators Tool provides a catchment‐scale estimation of diffuse phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural land to surface waters using the most appropriate indicators P loss. framework that may be applied across UK estimate loss, which is sensitive not only use and management but also environmental factors such as climate, soil type topography. model complexity incorporated in has been adapted level detail available data need reflect impact changes agriculture....
Abstract Implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) represents a fundamental change in management water Europe with requirement that member states ensure ‘good ecological status’ for all bodies by 2015. Agriculture is expected to bear major share WFD implementation costs as it compelled reduce emission diffuse pollutants. The research outlined here comprises interdisciplinary modelling agricultural land use, hydrology and consequent quality effects consider both non‐market...
Following the inclusion of ecosystem services in new global and national post 2010 biodiversity policies, this report addresses need to upgrade knowledge basis their social economic values order inform ongoing policy design decision making processes. In particular, study addressed present research capacity map, assess as well implications for different community regional policies.
Agri-environmental management has been promoted as an approach to enhance delivery of multiple ecosystem services. Most agri-environment agreements include several actions that the farmer agrees put in place. But, most studies have only considered how individual agri-environmental affect particular Thus, there is little understanding range available a might be deployed on any farm To address this knowledge gap, we carried out experimental study which set commercial southern England....
Abstract A need for multi-functional assessment tools evaluating trade-offs and co-benefits various types of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) has been increasingly identified in recent years. Methodologically, concepts a tool are presented which include quantifying the demand potential NBS to enhance ecosystem service (ES) provision, linking ESs readily quantifiable legislatively-relevant environmental quality indicators (EQIs). The objective application is identify optimal placement across...
Nature-based solutions have gained recognition for their potential to address urban environmental challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanising countries such as China. However, financial and spatial constraints hinder widespread adoption. Here we explore residents' preferences nature-based targeting stormwater management, heat island reduction, biodiversity support through monetary, time, space contributions. We carried out three choice experiment surveys with 1536 Chinese respondents,...
Abstract Excessive phytoplankton concentrations in rivers can result the loss of plant and invertebrate communities, threaten drinking water supplies. Whilst physicochemical controls on algal blooms have been identified previously, how these factors combine to control initiation, size, cessation is not well understood. We applied flow cytometry quantify diatom, chlorophyte, cyanobacterial group abundances River Thames (UK) at weekly intervals from 2011 2022, alongside data. A niche modeling...
The forecasting of river flows and pollutant concentrations is essential in supporting mitigation measures for anthropogenic climate change effects on rivers their environment. This paper addresses two aspects receiving little attention the literature: high-resolution (sub-daily) data-driven modeling prediction phosphorus compounds. It presents a series artificial neural networks (ANNs) to forecast soluble reactive (SRP) total (TP) under wide range conditions, including low storm events...
It has been postulated that endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF), a common cardiac disease in certain tropical communities including parts of Uganda, may be related to the presence elevated levels dietary Ce, and deficient Mg. In significant variation exposure both elements is likely due variations local soil geochemistry habits, geophagia (the deliberate consumption soil). This paper reports concentration bioaccessibility (determined from physiologically based extraction test—PBET) Ce other...
