In the long term the only sustainable solution is for the demand for ivory--the ultimate driver of the system--to be reduced.
The scientists identified climate change as the main driver behind this increase: under assumed stable climatic conditions no substantial further increases in forest disturbances beyond the current levels were found in their simulations.
Facts 2014). 3. 79 percent of pet owners said the quality of their pets'food is as important as their own (Mintel 2013). 4. Top drivers of sales in pet foods included adding excitement
and only considers the most important drivers it reflects the consequences of the dramatic change in land use patterns in arid regions says Prof.
Produced by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) the position statement will be presented on July 9th 2014 at a meeting hosted by FIRS and the NCD Noncommunicable Disease Alliance Shared Drivers Shared Solutions:
what drivers make the fish come and go from Palmyra's lagoons. Very heavily used by mobile animals as breeding grounds
and sea urchin--the area's two main grazers--has in fact been the key driver of coral decline in the region.
In some cases different drivers reinforce one another increasing their impacts on forests. A big implication is that it's going to be harder to predict future changes to ecosystems
if they're being affected by several environmental drivers said Lovejoy. The researchers expect such changes to increase in the future.
In this case meeting climate and energy targets would be the main driver. The negative environmental effects of intensified use of forest resources would be weighed against
#Decomposing logs show local factors undervalued in climate change predictionsa new Yale-led study challenges the long-held assumption that climate is the primary driver of how quickly organic matter decomposes in different regions
Since those local factors likely are the primary drivers of decomposition rates Bradford said they should be documented better
Hertel and doctoral student Uris Baldos developed a combination of economic models--one that captures the main drivers of crop supply
Income is also set to eclipse population as the dominant driver of food security a historical first said Baldos.
We expect that the population driver will diminish relative to per capita income in the coming decades especially in the developing world he said.
The models show that climate change is a less influential driver of global food security than income population
nut cropscalifornia's winter tule fog--hated by drivers but needed by fruit and nut trees--has declined dramatically over the past three decades raising a red flag for the state's multibillion dollar agricultural industry according to researchers at UC Berkeley.
The role of methane as a driver of global warming is even more critical than this 40 percent value might indicate Howarth notes.
Chemical compounds containing reactive nitrogen are major drivers of air and water pollution worldwide and hence of diseases like asthma or cancer.
While they are a major economic driver for the U s. economy the legume is also crucial to the diets and livelihoods of millions of small farmers in Asia and Africa many of
and genetic data providing new insight into the drivers of viral diversity and the emergence of disease that can ultimately impact human health and livelihoods.
because price is an important driver of purchase behavior. Researchers tend to assume food is going to be purchased safe
but overall they aren't the major drivers that lead the average consumer to purchase a particular product.
A driver who has eaten recently spinach or eggs will stop faster thanks to the amino acid tyrosine found in these and other food products.
According to their findings the increase in global vegetation was the dominant driver of emissions during the Pliocene--and the subsequent effects on climate.
#Uncovering the drivers of honey bee colony declines and lossesscientists have announced the results of research conducted on honey bee colony declines
and are researched under and poorly understood drivers. Honey bees provide ecosystem services through pollination of crops worth $215 billion annually worldwide.
Many scientists have proposed new drivers such as pollution from pesticides as the cause of these declines.
Saint louis University research has even found links between driving and increased skin cancer with drivers in the U s. developing more skin cancer on the left side of their faces due to exposure while in the car.
#Temperature most significant driver of worlds tallest treesunderstanding forest biodiversity and how carbon dioxide is stored within trees is an important area of ecological research.
The goal of the project is to help cities better understand the primary drivers of household carbon footprints in each location said Daniel Kammen Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy in the Energy and Resources Group
The UC Berkeley researchers found that the primary drivers of carbon footprints are household income vehicle ownership
and consumption as the main driver of the elephant poaching crisis. In addition the story highlighted the links between'blood ivory'as a source of funds for terrorist organizations and rebel groups in Africa.
Apps, like the parking app Streetline that helps drivers find available parking spots, use this sensor technology too.
the taxi driver who talked enthusiastically and endlessly about food but did not eat pork.
and the current biodiversity crisis. The IYB has been the driver of many biodiversity-centric events including meetings, conferences, film screenings, panels, international policy discussions and instruments around the world.
They are drivers of important humanitarian crises. So biodiversity can influence culture? Beyond those impacts of biodiversity loss on the functioning of ecosystems, human cultures around the world have been,
But typically--behind driver wage--fuel is second highest expense. The fuel efficiency of the railroad--it s metal on metal:
so it s a great way to reduce driver wage and fuel. Every time you burn diesel fuel you re generating greenhouse emissions.
Then A j. B. Hunt driver will go to the rail yard and pick up the container. Huge cranes put it back on A j. B. Hunt chassis. Then our driver hooks up to that
and takes it to the Wal-mart distribution center. So that might be a 3, 000 mile shipment,
Drivers: energy security, rural community growth, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, food constraints, green jobs. Binetti outlined the advantages of cellulosic ethanol:
The main driver for the switch from manual, paper-based processes is cost-savings and efficiency,
The drivers were briefed in advance on what the systems were prolonged tracking, specifically idling (which is a waste of gas)
(even though the drivers are, in essence, customer service representatives and are encouraged to talk to clients, there is a limit to chitchat).
By bringing the implications of excessive idling to drivers'attention, Indianapolis Fruit was able to reduce fuel costs by an average of 8 percent to 9 percent per vehicle,
The Navman Wireless technology quickly helped reduce the amount of time that drivers spent offloading their trucks at each stop.
Gilbert said that many drivers were willing to explore new areas because they had the comfort of knowing where they were going.
I wrote that drivers in the U s. will be forced to simply hand over the keys to new drivers in developing countries as competition for oil increases.
Local drivers for repair services, florists, cleaning services, pizza shops, mobile food businesses, and so on are feeling the pinch even more.
so drivers don't have to travel as far on each call. With up to 2, 000 house calls per week
using GPS devices to track their drivers on a minute-by-minute basis . But such tools are generally beyond the reach of small businesses.
Optimizing the behavior of drivers is another fuel-reduction strategy advocated by companies like Dubai-based Dynamic Technical Training.
By training drivers to shift strategically and avoid hard acceleration or hard braking, they have shown that fleet operators of 100 vehicles can save $31, 500 annually in fuel costs.
For national delivery services like UPS who have optimized already their drivers'habits and engaged in a long campaign to upgrade the fuel economy of their fleets,
or a cab driver's horn or even human voices, make us flinch. We recoil naturally,
Behind the wheel, drivers will also discover a carbon-fiber interior, paddle-shifting technology and a four-seat configuration.
Road transportation a'key driver'of global warminganalyzing impact by economic sector rather than chemical species, NASA scientists have determined that motor vehicles are the greatest contributor to atmospheric warming, now and in the near term.
or the Duke School in Durham, N c. Another driver is the green building movement. Programs like the Collaborative for High performance Schools
when relying on Apple's disappointing mapping system--especially as the number of drivers ending up in peculiar locations is on the rise.
The same drone technology that the U s. military is using in Afghanistan could be put to use in the United states to transport goods between locations safer and faster than human drivers.
This could potentially free up roadways for humans as robot drivers could take a different route,
Perhaps the biggest driver for change is personal technology, which has untethered workers from their office,
because entrepreneurs and small organizations i e. oegarages have been critical drivers of diverse technological innovation in the U s. for several centuries,
(and corresponding consumption) are key macro-scale drivers of biodiversity loss. It is unclear what role synthetic biology and its products will play in these relationships.
I might argue that a bigger driver is the opportunity to profit from using land for production purposes.
