Anthropogenic impact on the atmospheric microbiome
Nature Microbiology, 2020The atmosphere has undergone extensive physico-chemical change due to anthropogenic emissions. The impact on the ecology of the atmospheric microbiome has so far not been considered. Here, we define the scope of change to the atmosphere and identify potential microbial responses.

Impact of anthropogenic contamination on glacier surface biota
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2023Glaciers are ecosystems and they host active biological communities. Despite their remoteness, glaciers act as cold condensers where high precipitation rates and cold temperatures favor the deposition of pollutants. These contaminants include a broad range of substances, including legacy pollutants, but also compounds still largely used.

Anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems in Antarctica
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011Antarctica is the most isolated continent on Earth, but it has not escaped the negative impacts of human activity. The unique marine ecosystems of Antarctica and their endemic faunas are affected on local and regional scales by overharvesting, pollution, and the introduction of alien species.

Tracking the Anthropogenic Drivers of Ecological Impacts
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2004Despite the pivotal role human factors (anthropogenic drivers) are presumed to play in global environmental change, substantial uncertainties and contradictory conclusions about them continue. We attempt to further discipline the human factors issue by estimating the effects of two anthropogenic drivers, population and affluence, on a wide variety of ...

Anthropogenic Impact on Environment
2015Georgia is undergoing massive changes that are impacting its environment and ecosystem. Unwise and unplanned interference in the ecosystem brings about unpredictable change, revealing itself in the breaking structure and off-balance local ecosystems, which in turn, undermine the economic base.

Anthropogenic impacts on the Orbetello lagoon ecosystem
Toxicology and Industrial Health, 2009The aim of the present study was to assess the environmental quality of Orbetello lagoon (Tyrrhenian coast, Italy), using a biomonitoring method based on measuring organochlorinated pollutants in the Anguilla anguilla, chosen as sentinel organism, and remote sensing data obtained by elaboration of Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) data of 2002 ...

Anthropogenic impacts on the Atlantic walrus
2021This chapter is a comprehensive overview of anthropogenic impacts on Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus). We describe how Atlantic walruses are affected by hunting, fishery, anthropogenic noise (ships, aircraft), industrial activities (marine oil and gas exploration and exploitation, and mining), pollution and tourism.

Anthropogenic Impacts on the Biogeochemistry and Cycling of Antimony
2005Antimony is a potentially toxic trace element with no known biological function. Antimony is commonly enriched in coals, and fossil fuel combustion appears to be the largest single source of anthropogenic Sb to the global atmosphere. Abundant in sulfide minerals, its emission to the atmosphere from anthropogenic activities is linked to the mining and ...

Microbial Ecosystem and Anthropogenic Impacts
2020Oceans are the most vulnerable sites for anthropogenic waste from domestic as well as industrial origin. Usually, marine ecosystems are exposed to most anthropogenic stressors ranging from sewage disposal to nuclear waste contaminants. Most recent threats to marine ecosystems are ocean warming and ocean acidification (related to anthropogenic emission ...
