Transforming ecosystems: When, where, and how to restore contaminated sites.
Chemical contamination has impaired ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and the provisioning of functions and services. This has spurred a movement to restore contaminated ecosystems and develop and implement national and international regulations that require it. Nevertheless, ecological restoration remains a young and rapidly growing discipline and its intersection with toxicology is even more ...
متن کاملSetting Limits: Using Air Pollution Thresholds to Protect and Restore U.S. Ecosystems
SUMMARY M ore than four decades of research provide unequivocal evidence that sulfur, nitrogen, and mercury pollution have altered, and will continue to alter, our nation's lands and waters. The emission and deposition of air pollutants harm native plants and animals, degrade water quality, affect forest productivity, and are damaging to human health. Many air quality policies limit emissions a...
متن کاملWhere to Restore Ecological Connectivity? Detecting Barriers and Quantifying Restoration Benefits
Landscape connectivity is crucial for many ecological processes, including dispersal, gene flow, demographic rescue, and movement in response to climate change. As a result, governmental and non-governmental organizations are focusing efforts to map and conserve areas that facilitate movement to maintain population connectivity and promote climate adaptation. In contrast, little focus has been ...
متن کاملBroadcast Transmission to Prioritizing Receivers
We consider a broadcast model involving multiple transmitters and receivers. Transmission is performed in rounds, where in each round any transmitter is allowed to broadcast a single message, and each receiver can receive only a single broadcast message, determined by a priority permutation over the transmitters. The message received by receiver R in a given transmission round is the one sent b...
متن کاملTidal Dissipation Compared to Seismic Dissipation: in Small Bodies, Earths, and Super-earths
While the seismic quality factor and phase lag are defined solely by the bulk properties of the mantle, their tidal counterparts are determined by both the bulk properties and the size effect (self-gravitation of a body as a whole). For a qualitative estimate, we model the body with a homogeneous sphere, and express the tidal phase lag through the lag in a sample of material. Although simplisti...
