  2. Ecosystem management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_management

    Adaptive management: Management is an iterative process in which methods are continuously reevaluated as new scientific knowledge is gained. Interagency cooperation: As ecological boundaries often cross administrative boundaries, management often requires cooperation among a range of agencies and private stakeholders.

  3. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    In electrical engineering, current sensing is any one of several techniques used to measure electric current. The measurement of current ranges from picoamps to tens of thousands of amperes. The selection of a current sensing method depends on requirements such as magnitude, accuracy, bandwidth, robustness, cost, isolation or size. The current ...

  4. Ecosystem-based management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem-based_management

    The systemic origins of ecosystem-based management are rooted in the ecosystem management policy applied to the Great Lakes of North America in the late 1970s. The legislation created, the "Great Lakes Basin and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978", was based on the claim that "no park is an island", with the purpose to show how strict protection of the area is not the best method ...

  5. Environmental monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_monitoring

    Environmental monitoring is the processes and activities that are done to characterize and describe the state of the environment. It is used in the preparation of environmental impact assessments, and in many circumstances in which human activities may cause harmful effects on the natural environment.

  6. Precision agriculture - Wikipedia

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Wildlife management can include wildlife conservation , population control , gamekeeping , wildlife contraceptive and pest control .

  8. Biosensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosensor

    Commercially available glucose monitors rely on amperometric sensing of glucose by means of glucose oxidase, which oxidises glucose producing hydrogen peroxide which is detected by the electrode. To overcome the limitation of amperometric sensors, a flurry of research is present into novel sensing methods, such as fluorescent glucose biosensors ...

  9. Applied ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_ecology

    Applied ecology is a sub-field within ecology that considers the application of the science of ecology to real-world (usually management) questions. It is also described as a scientific field that focuses on the application of concepts, theories, models, or methods of fundamental ecology to environmental problems.
