Bringing our global demand
for biological resources back in line with what the earth can support has different implications for different countries.
The final task will be to develop a tool for modeling the cumulative impacts that solar development scenarios will have
on biological resources.
A
major biological resource that is being drastically depleted as a consequence of human activity is the diversity of life of microorganisms, plants and animals.

about biological resources.
The researchers used «compatibility» to mean the absence of conflict between energy development and goals relating to the conservation
of biological resources.
A team led by Thomas Stohlgren of the U.S. Geological Survey's
Biological Resources Division decided to revisit the problem by comparing two biomes — temperate grasslands and mountains — at several spatial scales.
Its methodology involves constructing and comparing two separate «accounts,» representing the supply and demand of
renewable biological resources across six mutually exclusive land - use types: cropland, grazing land, forest, fishing ground, built - up land, and the area of forest required to offset human carbon emissions (the carbon footprint).

«There also needs to be clear ways for those countries to not only get paid, but receive the other benefits of their
own biological resources.»
Our current
biological resource development efforts include the application of CRISPR / cas9 for the creation of novel mouse strains that carry human mutations.
Personalised Medicine initiatives will benefit greatly from this emerging data and
biological resources which can be used to detect novel genotype - to - phenotype associations in diseases.
In addition to
biological resources discussed above, the life of human society is at present dependent upon non-renewable resources, notably fossil fuels and minerals.
These encompass soil and water quality and conservation measures, and maintaining or
enhancing biological resources, including supporting biodiversity.
Like all living museums in the sea, the Kidd shipwreck
protects biological resources — most notably, relatively large populations of elkhorn and staghorn coral — as well as archaeological resources.
And yet this may be just the beginning with emerging activities such as mining the seabed for mineral and
biological resources rising high on international political agendas (2).
Funded by the MRC, the HGMP Resource Centre provides databases for the UK research community, as well as
other biological resources and computing services.
«It is to be hoped that legal measures for the conservation of the subterranean fauna of Brazil — which constitutes one of the country's
unique biological resources — will be developed and consequently reinforced,» conclude the authors.
Speaking at the British Association's Annual Festival of Science in Newcastle upon Tyne this week, Lambshead contradicted another speaker, who claimed that dumping waste at sea would not damage
valuable biological resources.
Scientists Dr Brian Heterick of Curtin University, Dr Mark Castalanelli of Ecodiagnostics Pty Ltd and Dr Steve Shattuck of the Australian National University, funded by an internationally competitive
Australian Biological Resources (ABRS) grant, set out to find the true facts.
Thus, neural derivatives of disease - specific human pluripotent stem cells constitute a
relevant biological resource for exploring the impact of adult - onset HD mutations of the HTT gene on the division of neural progenitors, with potential applications in HD drug discovery targeting HTT - dynein - p150Glued complex interactions.
Environomics aims to reinvent how we measure and monitor ecosystem health, predict biodiversity responses to environmental change,
manage biological resources, detect biosecurity threats and more.
This helps to authenticate your
key biological resources and also makes your paper more reproducible, findable, and widely read!
The short version: Our brains evolved in a world of scarcity; ergo our brains are hardwired to conserve
precious biological resources, calories etc..
To paraphrase the founder of permaculture, designer Bill Mollison: Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small - scale intensive systems which are labor efficient and which use
biological resources instead of fossil fuels.
Bush said he drew inspiration from a documentary on the island chain's
biological resources shown at the White House in April by Jean - Michel Cousteau, the marine explorer and filmmaker whose father was the late Jacques Cousteau.

«Organic farming approaches for these crops not only use an average of 30 percent less fossil energy but also conserve more water in the soil, induce less erosion, maintain soil quality and conserve
more biological resources than conventional farming does,» Pimentel added.
However, rather than indicating sustainability in the use of domestic or
global biological resources, it is a measure of self - sufficiency [1], [11].
The first account, the ecological footprint of consumption, is an estimate of the renewable
biological resources required for consumption by a specified human population and for assimilation of its carbon wastes.

Biological Resource Impacts: As with any construction project or large structure, wind energy can impact plants and animals, depending on the sensitivity of the area.
The Centre de Ressources Biologiques (CRB) Xénope (
Xenopus Biological Resource Center), established in 2003, is one of only two platforms in Europe to associate research and development to a national husbandry center dedicated to xenopus.
The CRB Xénopes (Xenopus
Biological Resource Center) fulfils a dual mission regarding the national scientific community either in the public or private sector.
