the expansion of range Caucasian bison by introducing small populations into other reserves Russia, will create prerequisites for confidence in stability existence species as a whole. The Altai State Natural Biosphere Reserve can become promising area further settlement wild and hunting resource. risks associated with influence invasive on native flora fauna are separate topic study we cannot n...

Humanity has emerged as a major force in the operation of the biosphere. The focus is shifting from the environment as externality to the biosphere as precondition for social justice, economic development, and sustainability. In this article, we exemplify the intertwined nature of social-ecological systems and emphasize that they operate within, and as embedded parts of the biosphere and as suc...

We present a minimal model for the global carbon cycle of the Earth containing the reservoirs mantle, ocean floor, continental crust, biosphere, and the kerogen, as well as the aggregated reservoir ocean and atmosphere. The model is specified by introducing three different types of biosphere: procaryotes, eucaryotes, and complex 5 multicellular life. We find that from the Archaean to the future...

Nature reserves are widely considered as one available strategy for protecting biodiversity, which is threatened by habitat fragmentation, and wildlife extinction. The Chinese government has established a goal of protecting 15% of its land area by 2015. We quantitated the characteristics and distribution of nature reserves in mainland China and evaluated the expansion process for national natur...

In order carry out an in-depth analysis a practicalcase involving process mineral extraction, we use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Leopold matrix as methodof measurement. subject investigation extraction lithium fro...

The concept of a biosphere comes from putting together data furnished by several disciplines such as biology, geology, chemistry and biochemistry, which link living matter and the matter of the upper layers of the planet. The term biosphere, which has been usually attributed to Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (1863–1945), seems to have been coined by Eduard Suess (1831–1914). However, when Suess f...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused (and continues to cause) severe disruption in global and local economies forced countries, societies, individuals adapt quickly the unprecedented unpredictable situations. Despite obvious negative consequences of pandemic, many have called for efforts identify transformative opportunities sustainable development throughout this disorderly time. In present paper,...

Within highly diverse ecosystems, the majority of bacterial taxa are present in low abundance as members of the rare biosphere. The rationale for the occurrence and maintenance of the rare biosphere, and the putative ecological role(s) and dynamics of its members within a specific ecosystem is currently debated. We hypothesized that in highly diverse ecosystems, a fraction of the rare biosphere...
