Suitability of Natura 2000 sites for threatened freshwater species under projected climate change
Abstract As part of the world's largest coordinated network of protected areas, Natura 2000, European Union member states designate special areas of conservation (SACs) to maintain or achieve favourable conservation status for imperilled aquatic species listed under Annex II of the Habitats Directive.

A New Paradigm of Software Service Engineering in the Era of Big Data and Big Service [PDF]
Servitization is one of the most significant trends that reshapes the information world and society in recent years. The requirement of collecting,storing, processing, and sharing of the Big Data has led to massive software resources being developed and made accessible as web-based services to facilitate such process. These services that handle the Big

The intensification of agriculture has led to the reduction of the diversity of arthropods in agroecosystems, including that of ground-dwelling species. The aim of our work was to assess the effect of a sown cover crop on the diversity of ground-dwelling

Disentangling ‘ecosystem services’ and ‘nature’s contributions to people’
People depend on functioning ecosystems, which provide benefits that support human existence and wellbeing. The relationship between people and nature has been experienced and conceptualized in multiple ways.

Assessment of Urban Ecological Service value used in Urban Rail Transit Project [PDF]
Ecosystem services refer to the ones human beings often obtain from the natural environment ecosystem. In order to solve the problem of environmental degradation, based on the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST model), this paper makes innovation by adding the urban module that was not in the previous models, which can ...

Computing of Applied Digital Ecosystems [PDF]
A primary motivation for our research in digital ecosystems is the desire to exploit the self-organising properties of biological ecosystems. Ecosystems are thought to be robust, scalable architectures that can automatically solve complex, dynamic problems.

Universal and generalizable restoration strategies for degraded ecological networks [PDF]
Humans are increasingly stressing ecosystems via habitat destruction, climate change and global population movements leading to the widespread loss of biodiversity and the disruption of key ecological services. Ecosystems characterized primarily by mutualistic relationships between species such as plant-pollinator interactions may be particularly ...
