The impacts of anthropogenic factors on the environment in Nigeria
Journal of Environmental Management, 2009Generally speaking, there has been a consensus on the primary drivers of anthropogenic induced environmental degradation. However, little progress has been made in determining the magnitude of the impacts, particularly in developing countries. This creates a lacuna that needs to be filled up.

Impact of anthropogenic sounds on fishes
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002It is widely suspected that anthropogenic sound could impact the life and survival of marine mammals. One of the major sources of anthropogenic sounds in many parts of the world are seismic air guns used in geologic exploration. Yet there are few data on the physiological and behavioral impacts of air-guns on fishes or marine mammals. This study tested

Anthropogenic impacts on the terrestrial subsurface biosphere
Nature Reviews MicrobiologyThe terrestrial subsurface is estimated to be the largest reservoir of microbial life on Earth. However, the subsurface also harbours economic, industrial and environmental resources, on which humans heavily rely, including diverse energy sources and formations for the storage of industrial waste and carbon dioxide for climate change mitigation.

Anthropogenic impact and natural landscapes
Бюллетень Главного ботанического сада, 2022Антропогенное изменение ландшафта – это изменение его свойств под влиянием антропогенных воздействий и выражается в изменениях структуры земной поверхности. По происхождению и степени видоизменения природного облика ландшафты подразделяют на природные, освоенные (измененные) и искусственные (антропогенные).

Impact of anthropogenic activities on a Temporary River
2011The Celone River Basin (Puglia, Italy) is characterized by a diffuse pollution from agricultural sources. Like most intermittent rivers in the Mediterranean area, this stream is not well monitored; only few water quality data are available. Thus, due to high variability in streamflow and nutrient concentrations, which characterizes this type of rivers,

Anthropogenic Impacts on Biodiversity in the Arctic
1995The actions of humans are major determinants (Fig. 1) of the biological composition of the Earth’s ecosystems at scales ranging from the genetic diversity of local populations to the level of landscapes. Although the anthropogenic impacts of modern industrial societies are obvious, early settlers using simple technologies also altered their ...

Anthropogenic impact on the albedo of the earth
Climatic Change, 1977The impact of man and animal on the Earth's surface albedo (reflectivity), until recently believed to be quite small, or not considered at all, is analyzed. Discussion is presented of changes in the albedo due to the heat island effects of cities on snow cover, to agricultural cultivation, irrigation, and to overgrazing; the latter of which is ...

The impacts of anthropogenic sounds on fishes
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001There is considerable concern that increases in marine sounds may be negatively impacting marine organisms. While most of the concern in the literature and in the press revolves around marine mammals, it is important to recall that the bulk of the marine vertebrate biota is made up of numerous fish species, and that many fishes are important in the ...
