Rewilding focuses on the recovery of ecological processes, interactions, and conditions based on reference ecosystems. Rewilding recognizes that ecosystems are dynamic and constantly changing. Rewilding should anticipate the effects of climate change and where possible act as a tool to mitigate impacts. Rewilding requires local engagement and ...
Sea rewilding (also known as marine rewilding) is an area of environmental conservation activity which focuses on rewilding, restoring ocean life and returning seas to a more natural state. Sea rewilding projects operate around the world, working to repopulate a wide range of organisms, including giant clams, sharks, skates, sea sturgeons, and ...
Marine primary production is the chemical synthesis in the ocean of organic compounds from atmospheric or dissolved carbon dioxide. It principally occurs through the process of photosynthesis , which uses light as its source of energy, but it also occurs through chemosynthesis , which uses the oxidation or reduction of inorganic chemical ...
Netherlands-based Grazelands Rewilding breeds a modern-day equivalent of the aurochs, an ox that features in prehistoric cave paintings. The giant animal disappeared from the wild in the 17th ...
These compounds are oxidized to release carbon dioxide, which can be captured by plants to make organic compounds. The chemical reaction is powered by the light energy of sunshine. Sunlight is required to combine carbon with hydrogen and oxygen into an energy source, but ecosystems in the deep sea , where no sunlight can penetrate, obtain ...
Chemical ecology is a vast and interdisciplinary field utilizing biochemistry, biology, ecology, and organic chemistry for explaining observed interactions of living things and their environment through chemical compounds (e.g. ecosystem resilience and biodiversity).
Pleistocene rewilding is the advocacy of the reintroduction of extant Pleistocene megafauna, or the close ecological equivalents of extinct megafauna. [1] It is an extension of the conservation practice of rewilding , which aims to restore functioning, self-sustaining ecosystems through practices that may include species reintroductions.
Drinking coffee could extend your life up to two years, new research finds. Regular coffee consumption was found to be associated with increased health span (time spent living free from serious ...
