The seagrass Posidonia oceanica is the main habitat-forming species of coastal Mediterranean, providing millennial-scale ecosystem services including habitat provisioning, biodiversity maintenance, food security, protection, and carbon sequestration. Meadows this endemic represent largest storage among seagrasses around world, largely contributing to global blue stocks. Yet, slow growth tempera...

Abstract. Cities expand rapidly with international migration significantly contributing to urban growth and population change. However, cities miss out on a great opportunity of reclaiming valuable knowledge future distribution due the lack established tools methodologies project where it is more likely for people specific socio-demographic groups set up home. The present work suggests that spa...

BACKGROUND Malaria incidence is in decline in many parts of SE Asia leading to a decreasing proportion of febrile illness that is attributable to malaria. However in the absence of rapid, affordable and accurate diagnostic tests, the non-malaria causes of these illnesses cannot be reliably identified. Studies on the aetiology of febrile illness have indicated that the causes are likely to vary ...

Circumpolar boreal forests contain one half of the terrestrial carbon stores, and have been shown to be susceptible to climate change. As climate regimes shift, the total biomass and species composition may change in ways that may promote further warming on the regional level through atmosphere-vegetation feedbacks. The purpose of this project is to develop a spatially explicit model for simula...

Remote sensing and geographic analysis of woody vegetation provide means of evaluating the distribution of natural resources, patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem structure, and socio-economic drivers of resource utilization. While these methods bring geographic datasets with global coverage into our day-to-day analytic spheres, many of the studies that rely on these strategies do not capital...
