To restore diminished ecosystems. To advance the science of preventing extinctions. To be sure, humans have played a role in the extinction of many species,
an ecosystem scientist working in Africa when he recommended the slaughter of 40,000 elephants to help prevent desertification,
transforming its grassland ecology as dramatically as the industrial quantities of corn and cattle being produced
Currently we have a very active program here on the Jornada Experimental Rangein landscape ecology using unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance.
#Human judgment and expertise on the ground is still essential to making a methodology like this be a positive, rather than a negative, for landscape ecology.
You learn from day one in all of your ecology classes and animal science classes that you are dealing with multiple dynamic systems that you are trying to optimize in relationship to each other.
Engineering Closed ecological systems: Ecosystems that do not rely on matter exchange outside the system. Such closed ecosystems would theoretically transform waste products into oxygen,
food and water in order to support life-forms inhabiting the system. Such systems already exist in small scales,
but existing technological limitations prevent them from scaling. Scientifically viable in 2015; mainstream in 2020;
No-till farming means that instead of plowing-under that rich soil ecosystem every planting season Brown plants directly onto the stubble of last year's crops.
but the experiment proved de-extinction was possible. 6 Extinct Animals That Could Be brought Back to Life We can use some of these techniques to actually help endangered species improve their long-term viability said ecologist Stanley Temple of the University
I don't think it has any merit at all said conservation ecologist Stuart Pimm of Duke university N c. It totally ignores the very practical realities of what conservation is about.
#Precision farming Gains Global Foothold (Op-Ed) Lloyd Treinish leads the environmental science team in the Industry Solutions Department at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research center.
In 2011 Modern Meadow took up the challenge setting out to make ecological and economical leather and meat from bioprinters.
"This is the epitome of a healthy ecosystem, says Enrique Ortiz, vice-president of the Amazon Conservation Association, based in WASHINGTON DC."
That finding tallies with as yet unpublished research by Luis Fernandez, a tropical ecologist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, with whom Ashe is about to begin Working in 2009,
We are directing additional funding to Gulf Coast restoration to bring back the fisheries and coastal ecosystems
which is targeting ecological problems such as invasive species, toxic hot spots, and pollution runoff. We are cleaning up the Chesapeake bay,

where he studies ecosystem management and climate change. He was a member of the White house commission that investigated the 2010 Deepwater horizon oil spill.
but the ecological and health effects of fertilizer chemicals raise serious concerns. China in particular, is facing a major pollution problem from overuse of nitrogen fertilizer,
Field trials to assess the ecological efficiency of organic and chemical fertilizers in different geographic and climatic settings are under way in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania.
and most economical use of fertilizers a practice that would help to avoid the ecological and monetary costs of fertilizer overuse."
says Johannes  Kotschi, a soil scientist at the Association for Agriculture and Ecology in Marburg, Germany,
Today according to the Global Footprint Network more than 80 percent of the world's population lives in countries that use more than their ecosystems can renew.
and Egypt 2. 4. China's ecological footprint is the largest (they would need 2. 5 Chinas to accommodate their population)--though the per capita footprint is smaller than many European or North american countries.
To calculate the date the Global Footprint Network figures out how many days of a particular year the Earth's biocapacity can provide for the total ecological footprint.
So world biocapacity divided by world ecological footprint times 365 equals Earth Overshoot Day. The think tank calculates biocapacity by looking at the amount of productive area (both land
A country has an ecological reserve if its footprint is smaller than its biocapacity and likewise if its footprint exceeds biocapacity it is an ecological debtor.
The Global Footprint Network notes that the date is an approximation. The precision of the exact date is limited by aggregated country datasets
Frostty Global Footprint Network bases their conclusions on what they call ecological footprint and biocapacity.
Ecological footprint is what GFN decides the population should be to fit the biocapacity of a given country.
And GFN doesn't need to worry about Japan's ecological-footpring-to-biocapacity ratio much longer
This suggests that beavers play an important role in keeping the ecosystem resilient against climate change drought and wildfire the study notes.
Sure lets destroy the ecosystems of ridges and mountain tops because we never see it anyway.
The paper has been accepted for publication in the journal Environmental science & Technology and it comes in the same week that Hansen 72 said he will retire.
and Ecological Consequences of Fukushima in which the amount of cancers caused by radiation in our food
or above a critical threshold for ecological damage according to a study published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry
The environmental scientists experts in air quality atmospheric chemistry and ecology have been studying the fate of nitrogen-based compounds that are blown into natural areas from power plants automobile exhaust and--increasingly--industrial agriculture.
Nitrogen that finds its way into natural ecosystems can disrupt the cycling of nutrients in soil promote algal overgrowth
and the University of California Irvine--presents evidence that unchecked increases in nitrogen deposition are already threatening the ecology of federally protected natural areas.
In Eastern temperate forests like those in Great smoky mountains national park the most sensitive elements of the ecosystem are the hardwood trees
When you try to write regulations to protect ecosystems however the damage is much harder to quantify says Jacob.
and ecosystem researchever wonder what plants do when you're not around? How about an entire forest or grassland?
Additionally it will be useful in a number of other disciplines including geology archaeology biodiversity glaciology and rangeland ecosystem research.
The study findings were reported July 16 2013 in the journal Environmental science and Technology. The research team took into account the sources of electricity used to charge the electric vehicles in evaluating greenhouse gas emissions.
The above story is provided based on materials by University of Illinois College of Agricultural Consumer and Environmental sciences (ACES.
which is stressed increasingly by multiple demands for water supply agriculture industry recreation and ecosystem needs. Changes in water supply and demands for water are driven by population growth climate
which form the basis of all known ecosystems and provide critical environmental services such as nitrogen cycling.
The effects of acid rain can propagate through aquatic ecosystems such as lakes rivers and wetlands and terrestrial ecosystems including forests
and soils negatively impacting ecological health. Researchers have used now publicly accessible data collected weekly or monthly at numerous monitoring sites during the period from 1980-2010 to track wet deposition of nitrate and sulfate near several U s. and East Asian cities.
The pollutants products of fossil fuel combustion are emitted by cars trucks and buses. Pollutants rise up into the atmosphere
A general decline shows that the ecosystem as a whole faces uncertainty and that other species may be affected in the future.
We're going to be burning fossil fuels for many years to come said Field who also serves as director of the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology at Stanford.
On the other hand biochar production that relies on forest ecosystems may result in a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions they cautioned.
The researchers'results reported this month in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental science and Technology are the latest in a long effort to understand the environmental aspects of antibiotic resistance which threatens decades of progress in fighting disease.
This is a key piece of research that has demonstrated how effective bioacoustics techniques can be for providing ecological data.
and ethics the study appears in the latest issue of the peer-reviewed scholarly journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
and soil ecology teamed up with experts in oceanography political science sociology economics and ethics. Working under the auspices of the National Science Foundation the team spent two years evaluating more than 100 studies that addressed the various implications of climate engineering and their anticipated effects on greenhouse gases.
Hertwich director of NTNU's Industrial Ecology program was one of four lead authors of the IPCC report from Norway along with his Industrial Ecology colleague Professor Daniel Beat MÃ ller.
And as an industrial ecologist like Hertwich will tell you price is everything in determining the kinds of choices we will make to either protect the planet's climate
As head of NTNU's Industrial Ecology program and with all of his public contributions to efforts like the IPCC Hertwich's mission is to help people clearly see the costs
The research team investigated adaptive radiation--the explosive evolution of species into new ecological niches powered by natural selection--of New world Leaf-nosed bats.
As the authors point out adaptive radiations that is the explosive evolution of species into new ecological niches have generated much of the biological diversity seen in the world today.
Ecosystem needs--lakes and rivers need a certain amount of water for them to survive.
Bereft of good role models and the ecological interactions they would have had naturally, organisms cloned back from the dead will be only a shadow of their ancestors.
It goes without saying that Mulligan's idea also ignores the actual services that various ecosystems render to us humans refreshing the air, cleaning water, reducing pests, and so on.
and freeze'em approach--was primarily a way to preserve the genome heritage of vanishing ecosystems, not the biodiversity itself.
But there's also the environmental concern in putting warmer water back into the ocean--the long-term fate of the ecology of the ocean.
