Anthropogenic Climate Influences as Discrete ‘Polka Dots’
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021The conventional use of ‘globally averaged temperatures’ causes ambiguity in our perception of human climate effects. Satellite images show distinct clusters or 'nodes' of population, light, CO2, heat, and likely water vapour. These urban nodes juxtaposed with the intervening rural dark areas form a 'mosaic' perspective of the anthropogenic effects on ...

Anthropogenic influences on Hong Kong streams
GeoJournal, 1996The Hong Kong countryside has experienced centuries of intense human impact, and none of the native climax forest remains. Anthropogenic influences upon Hong Kong freshwaters reflect, on the one hand, pollution and degradation of rivers and wetlands as a consequence of urbanization of rural lowlands.

III. Natural And Anthropogenic Influences
2006The dispute about the natural, non-human, contribution to the thinning of the ozone layer has a long history. The basic argument was that any detrimental impact on the ozone layer was more likely caused by nonhuman natural sources than anthropogenic causes.

Anthropogenic influences on natural animal mating systems
Animal Behaviour, 2011Anthropogenic influences on the natural world are widespread and well studied from various ecological vantage points. Their behavioural implications, however, are comparatively less well understood. We review four categories of influence on natural animal mating systems: habitat fragmentation, climate change, pollution and selective harvesting.

Cyclonic and anthropogenic influences on tern populations
Wildlife Research, 2009Organisms can be strongly affected by a range of natural and anthropogenic stressors in conjunction, making comprehensive assessments of multiple potential drivers of population dynamics essential. An 18-year dataset obtained for Michaelmas Cay in the northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia, was used to assess population trends for three tern species ...

Possible Anthropogenic Influences on Stratospheric Ozone
1982The intensity of radiation emitted from the sun has its maximum at wavelengths near 500 nm, consistent with its 6000K surface temperature, and is presumed to have done so without large variations for hundreds of millions of years. The natural solar satellites, including the Earth, must therefore have evolved in ways which are responsive to this ...

Anthropogenic influences on Australia's Great Barrier Reef
Australian Geographer, 1988SUMMARY Although legislation has been introduced to allow stricter control of activities within the Great Barrier Reef region, paradoxically there are increasing pressures due to greater use of the Reef, and population expansion and economic development on the adjacent mainland.
