Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring by Thomas C. Stone, Katrina J. Davis

“…Abstract Demographic data are essential to construct mechanistic models to understand how populations change over time and in response to global threats like climate change.

The problem of conservation of gene pools of domesticated animals by Yu. A. Stolpovskiy, I. A. Zakharov-Gezekhus

“…The arguments in favor of preserving local breeds are: 1) economic factors, such as moderation of quality requirements for food products, moderation of hygienic and climatic conditions (new types of diseases, vaccines, changes in the external environment), necessity to keep a reserve for successful breeding, opportunity to use local breeds in harsh environmental conditions; 2) scientific factors, in particular, possibility of studying the gene pool of local breeds in order to reconstruct the evolution of domesticated species (exploring local breeds can reveal the mechanisms of the evolutionary processes, ontogeny, behavior patterns, natural and artificial selection); 3) cultural and historical factors related to the fact that native breeds represent living monuments of traditional culture of the population. …”

Seepage Behavior of Earth Dams Considering Rainfall Effects by Jong-Wook Lee, Jiseong Kim, Gi-Chun Kang

“…More than 60% of annual rainfall in Korea is concentrated during the monsoon season from June to August because of the climate characteristics of East Asia. In general, reservoir water levels sharply rise during this period and rock-fill dams are exposed to various types of damages such as soil erosion and piping related to seepage problems. …”

Assessment of Nitrogen Ceilings for Dutch Agricultural Soils to Avoid Adverse Environmental Impacts by Wim de Vries, Hans Kros, Oene Oenema, Jan Willem Erisman

“…This leads to a series of environmental impacts, including: (1) nitrate (NO3) contamination of drinking water, (2) eutrophication of freshwater lakes, (3) acidification and biodiversity impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, (4) ozone and particle formation affecting human health, and (5) global climate change induced by emissions of N2O. Measures to control reactive N emissions were, up to now, directed towards those different environmental themes. …”
