“The planet has transformed as #HumanActivities alter the texture of our land as seen from space, expanding cities, #clearing dark #forests
for replacement by bright agricultural lands and contributing to the desiccation of the Aral Sea which has shrunk to less than 10% of its 1960s size."

“Some of that change can even be seen in the images themselves, even though the Earth is shrouded in cloud. "Although they're of different parts of the Earth, the one thing that does show up in both images, although you're looking at different parts of it, is Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean," says #BenjaminWallis, a glaciologist at the University of Leeds in the UK. "The #Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming parts of the #Earth and 28,000km of ice shelf have collapsed in between the original image and the latest image."

The dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae) was native to #Mauritius and was #extinct between 1662 and 1690 due to #humanactivities, #domesticanimals, #naturaldesasters and may be its #parasites

#HumanActivities exert a more significant influence on soil multifunctionality (SMF) than #ClimateChange in China’s #Drylands, and well-planned ecological restoration was likely to sustain and enhance SMF over time, particularly in hyper-arid areas.

@uniinnsbruck interesting in German written #article about #fishes in #highmountain #lakes as being #introduced due to #humanactivities and about the remarkable #effects they can have on their new montainous #ecosystems.

Understanding the connections between #FunctionalTraits and #EcosystemServices can help address #ClimateChange and #HumanActivities. So Cheng Zheng et al. used the #Response–effectTraitFramework to disentangle the effects of #EnvironmentalChange on the ecosystem services.
