Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Economic development projects are increasingly applying the mitigation hierarchy to achieve No Net Loss, or even a Net Gain, of biodiversity.
To conserve the bulk of Earth's ecological heritage across the Anthropocene, setting aside half of Earth's land is just a start.
This book chapter addresses goals 13, 14, and 15 by focusing on how changing environmental temperatures affect species adaptation.
Conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in natural environments requires careful management choices.
Background: Synthetic biology is an emerging multidisciplinary area of research with the potential to deliver various novel agrifood applications.
The no-tillage system combining winter cover crops and crop rotation may increase the efficiency use of soil P and phosphate fertilizer.
Soils host the vast majority of life on Earth including microorganisms and animals, and supporting all terrestrial vegetation.
