Dehesas as high nature value farming systems: a social-ecological synthesis of drivers, pressures, state, impacts, and responses

Ecology and Society, 2021
Dehesas and montados are Mediterranean agroforestry systems characterized by scattered oak trees with an understory grazed extensively by livestock and, in some cases, periodically cropped.

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The decline of forest ecosystems due to anthropogenic pressures directly threatens the wildlife that depends on them. These pressures extend even to protected areas, undermining their role as sanctuaries for animal species.

HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION AND DIGITAL PRESERVATION: THE USE OF CLOUD-BASED SERVICES FOR HERITAGE CONSERVATION (THE CASE OF ST. ALBERT RIVER LOTS) [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023
Climate change has become, among countless pressures, a dominant threat to heritage places. It is critical to identify, analyse, assess, and mitigate immediate risks, and manage unforeseeable, unavoidable, and adverse impacts of climate on heritage ...

Impact of Initial Central Venous Pressure on Outcomes of Conservative Versus Liberal Fluid Management in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [PDF]

Critical Care Medicine, 2016
In acute respiratory distress syndrome, conservative fluid management increases ventilator-free days without affecting mortality. Response to fluid management may differ based on patients' initial central venous pressure. We hypothesized that initial central venous pressure would modify the effect of fluid management on outcomes.Retrospective analysis ...

Impact of climate change on the distribution and predicted habitat suitability of two fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus and Epomophorus labiatus) in Ethiopia: Implications for conservation

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Fruit bats serve as crucial bioindicators, seed dispersers, pollinators, and contributors to food security within ecosystems. However, their population and distribution were threatened by climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

Are marine protected areas an adaptation measure against climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems? A UK case study

Nature-Based Solutions, 2022
Climate change is impacting marine seascapes against a backdrop of multiple anthropogenic stressors. These current impacts are projected to increase in the future with increasing warming, acidification, oxygen loss, and sea level rise.

Managing multiple pressures for cetaceans’ conservation with an Ecosystem-Based Marine Spatial Planning approach [PDF]

, 2021
Despite the recognized important ecological role that cetaceans play in the marine environment, their protection is still scarcely enforced in the Mediterranean Sea even though this area is strongly threatened by local human pressures and climate change.
