Understanding how climate change will affect agro-ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide is a significant global challenge. Investigating this topic requires holistic approach that can capture complexity of assess impacts on physical, biological, socio-economic aspects system. The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework problem structuring method commonly used in e...

With the increasing emphasis on ecology and environment of rivers, construction ecological waterway projects has become a development trend in China. In recent years, more attention been paid to qualitative quantitative evaluation effects construction. Based pressure-state-response (PSR) driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) logical frameworks, this paper established state-pressure-impa...

Climate change is a complicated issue with many factors playing role in its formation and distribution. Considering this complication, a comprehensive and holistic approach is needed for a better understanding and management of those factors. The causal frameworks are among systemic and integrated methods for addressing the causes of environmental problems and the relationships that exist betwe...

as a major consequence of medical interventions, quality of life (qol) is of great importance for patients suffering from refractory diseases, particularly cancer. the unbiased measurement of changes in qol is thus crucial in such cases. a prevalent bias related to qol research is the ‘response shift’ (rs) phenomenon. this review article aims to define rs and the challenges in measuring it. in ...

In this paper, considering the influence of economic, social, resource and environmental factors on water resources in Shandong Province, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model carrying capacity is established based DPSIR index system, to evaluate annual change Province. Then main influencing total social consumption are obtained by grey correlation, functional relation regression model. Finall...

Implementing long-term monitoring programs that effectively inform conservation plans is a top priority in environmental management. In floodplain forests, historical pressures interplay with the complex multiscale dynamics of fluvial systems and require integrative approaches to pinpoint drivers for their deterioration and ecosystem services loss. Combining a conceptual framework such as the D...

Soil erosion forms a major threat to European soil resources. Although soil is a vital and largely non-renewable resource, it has not been the subject of comprehensive EU action so far. A thematic strategy for soil protection, which recognises soil erosion as one of the major threats, has currently been placed high on Europe’s political Agenda. Assessing and monitoring soil erosion is needed to...
