As a result of anthropogenic destruction natural biogeocenoses, decrease in biodiversity occurs, leading to instability and degradation both individual elements the biosphere as whole. In coal-mining regions, there are two equivalent environmental problems: land mining an increase production consumption waste. The unfavorable ecological situation affects state ecosystem regions whole, which neg...

Conserved lands provide multiple ecosystem services, including opportunities for nature-based recreation. Managing this service requires understanding the landscape attributes underpinning its provision, and how changes in land management affect its contribution to human wellbeing over time. However, evidence from both spatially explicit and temporally dynamic analyses is scarce, often due to d...

The PML gene is fused to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) gene in t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), creating a PML-RAR alpha fusion oncoprotein. The PML gene product has been localized to subnuclear dot-like structures variously termed PODs, ND10s, Kr bodies, or PML nuclear bodies (PML NBs). The present study describes the cloning of a lymphoid-restricted gene, LYSP100, t...

Most evaluations of the effectiveness of PAs have relied on indirect estimates based on comparisons between protected and unprotected areas. Such methods can be biased when protection is not randomly assigned. We add to the growing literature on the impact of PAs by answering the following research questions: What is the impact of Chilean PAs on deforestation which occurred between 1986 and 201...

Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus L.) stands as a prominent agricultural product in Indonesia. As the demand for porang continues to grow, it becomes crucial balance with expansion of suitable land cultivation. The selection appropriate crop planting requires thorough analysis feasibility, commonly known suitability assessment. This study aims evaluate identify limiting factors, and explore po...

Tropical peat swamp lands in the Southeast Asia which store tremendous large amount of carbon in their peat layer and abundant biodiversity are now endangered by human activities such as deforestation, forest fires, land development and urbanization. To earlier start a better environmental policy for conservation of nature of the tropical peat swamp area is one of the preferential global issues...

BACKGROUND Private land conservation is an essential strategy for biodiversity protection in the USA, where half of the federally listed species have at least 80% of their habitat on private lands. We investigated the alignment between private land protection conducted by the world's largest land trust (The Nature Conservancy) and the science driven identification of priority areas for conserva...

This paper describes the results of an empirical investigation of the variation in reforestation among different types of forest tenure in British Columbia. Indicators of management, based on available statistical information about not satisfactorily restocked (NSR) lands and artificial reforestation on cutover lands, are compared across four major forms of tenure, ranging from relatively secur...

One of the most important applications of GIS is the display and analysis of data to support the process of environmental decision-making. A decision can be defined as a choice between alternatives, where the alternatives may be different actions, locations, objects, and the like. For example, one might need to choose which is the best location for a hazardous waste facility, or perhaps identif...

A recent paper was published on Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health addressing the so-called " Triangle of Death " linked to waste crisis in the Southern Italy [1]. Three decades of illegal waste management including uncontrolled disposal of toxic and industrial material, land filling and unauthorized incineration have transformed these Italian areas, into the poisoned dustbin of the country, t...
