Little wittneham nature reserve esa
Little Wittneham Nature Reserve in Oxfordshire aims to reconnect people with nature, conserve the local environment, and educate the public about sustainability. The reserve provides various ecosystem services like biodiversity, plant energy, habitats for pollinators, flood protection, and recreation/education. A report analyzed and assessed these services, finding nearly 200,000 annual visitors who benefit from aesthetics, recreation, and education. Services like carbon sequestration and pollination may be worth over £400 million annually. The report recommends continuing traditional conservation techniques while preparing for threats like more visitors or land use changes.
My Water WS - Erin Meier
Green Lands Blue Waters is a regional collaborative working to improve water quality in the Upper Mississippi River Basin through the use of Continuous Living Cover on agricultural lands. Continuous Living Cover refers to keeping fields covered with summer crops, cover crops, and perennials year-round to improve soil health, water quality, and provide other benefits. The group is researching the use of Kernza, a perennial grain developed by The Land Institute, at several sites in Minnesota to evaluate its ability to reduce nitrate leaching compared to annual row crops like corn. The research involves partnerships between universities, non-profits, government agencies, and local communities.

The project aims to store and capture upstream drainage through an 11-acre constructed wetland and 30 acres of converted cropland. It is estimated to annually reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loadings. The site will also serve as an educational resource on conservation for visitors, students, and the public.
Forest and wild life A Research By Allah Dad Khan
Forests provide habitat for wildlife by meeting their basic needs of food, cover, water and space. The diversity of habitats within a forest, which depends on factors like plant cover, harvest operations, and topography, determines which wildlife species can thrive there. Maintaining at least 2.5% of the total land as permanent wildlife openings, through practices like prescribed burning, disking, mowing or herbicide use, creates important areas for many game and non-game species and improves wildlife diversity. Proper forest and wildlife management can both improve forest productivity while benefiting wildlife.
Forest and wild life By Allah Dad Khan
Forests and wildlife are interrelated, as wildlife require food, cover, water and space, and different species need different forest growth stages to meet their needs. How a forest is managed directly impacts the wildlife species that can live there, as management contributes to the arrangement of habitats. Maintaining at least 2.5% of the total land as permanent wildlife openings through practices like prescribed burning or mowing provides important areas for many game and non-game species' life cycles.

Upstream-Downstream Connections in the Delaware Basin by Stephanie P. Dalke
This document discusses upstream-downstream connections in the Delaware River Basin. It notes that the clean water of the Delaware River depends on healthy, intact forests in the upper basin. However, the upper basin forests are under increasing development pressure. Trends like pollution, impervious surfaces, and climate change also threaten water quality. Nearly 75% of the upper basin forests are unprotected. The document discusses efforts of the Common Waters Partnership to protect key forest areas through incentives for private landowners and investments in forest stewardship. It notes over 15 million people rely on the Delaware River for drinking water. The summary establishes the relationship between upper basin forests and downstream water quality and drinking water supplies.
Resource stewardship
The document discusses the Resource Stewardship Evaluation (RSE) tool provided by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assess resource stewardship on agricultural operations. RSE pairs key stewardship indicators and evaluation methods to analyze nationally important resource concerns. It is designed to support and enhance conservation planning. The benefits of RSE include improving communication, recognizing stewardship, empowering producers, maximizing conservation investments, and encouraging comprehensive planning. The document provides perspectives on RSE from a client, district conservationist, and state trainer in Iowa and discusses opportunities for RSE to partner with organizations like the National Association of Conservation Districts and supply chains.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between coca cultivation, deforestation, and biodiversity in forest frontier regions. The key points are:
1. Direct deforestation from coca plots is relatively small, but indirect effects on broader deforestation rates are larger. Regions with more coca cultivation see higher overall deforestation.
2. In Bolivia, periods with more coca production corresponded to higher deforestation rates.
3. While coca cultivation directly impacts small areas, its presence in regions with endemic species can still threaten biodiversity through indirect effects on habitat loss. More detailed analysis is needed of its impacts on threatened species.

Food, Water, and Energy Security in the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region: A Nexus Perspective
With limited land resources, inadequate energy supply, and growing water stress, South
Asia faces the challenge of providing enough water and energy to grow enough food for the
burgeoning population. Using secondary data from diverse sources, this paper explores the
food, water, and energy nexus from a regional dimension, emphasizing the role of Hindu
Kush Himalayan (HKH) ecosystem services in sustaining food, water, and energy security
downstream. The analysis reveals that the issues and challenges in the food, water, and
energy sectors are interwoven in many complex ways and cannot be managed effectively
without cross-sectoral integration. The most distinctive feature of the nexus in South Asia is
the high degree of dependency of downstream communities on upstream ecosystem
services for dry-season water for irrigation and hydropower, drinking water, and soil fertility
and nutrients. This finding suggests that along with cross-sectoral integration to improve
the resource-use efficiency and productivity of the three sectors, regional integration
between upstream and downstream areas is critical in food, water, and energy security.
Within the nexus approach in South Asia, equal attention should be paid to management of
HKH ecosystems–especially the watersheds, catchments, and headwaters of river systems–
and to tapping the potential of collaborative gains in water, hydropower, and other
ecosystem services through coordination across HKH countries.

¿De dónde viene y para dónde va la deforestación en Colombia?
This document summarizes research on deforestation trends in Colombia. It finds that while coca cultivation has contributed to deforestation, cattle ranching for beef production is a larger underlying driver. Deforestation occurs through a process of frontier expansion, with coca sometimes opening up new areas that are later converted to pasture. The rate of deforestation is now accelerating in the Guaviare region and being driven by urbanization along new road networks. Early detection of fires using MODIS satellite data allows probabilistic modeling of deforestation risks that can help target conservation efforts.

The document discusses the role of bushmeat in food security and nutrition. It notes that bushmeat is a widespread, essential source of food and income, but is also an informal and often illegal activity. Large amounts of bushmeat are extracted each year in the Amazon and Congo regions. Bushmeat provides protein, fat, and micronutrients that are important for nutrition. However, depletion of wildlife resources from overhunting could create protein, fat, and micronutrient gaps. The document argues that repression of bushmeat alone will not work, and that policies need to acknowledge its role in food security while pursuing sustainability.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated a procedure for prioritizing maintenance of agricultural drainage ditches. The study measured the critical shear stress of soils using a cohesive strength meter to assess their susceptibility to erosion. Soils with higher root densities and those treated with mixed lime showed higher critical shear stresses, meaning they were less susceptible to erosion. Measurements of pressure on the soil surface during testing were mostly lower than estimates from other studies. The procedure effectively identified the relative erosion resistance of different soils, aiding prioritization of drainage ditch maintenance needs.

This document discusses how the choice of pipe material influences drain spacing and system cost. It finds that pipe with more rows of perforations, such as an 8-row regular perforated pipe, has a higher effective radius than a 4-row pipe, allowing for wider drain spacing. Experiments show that a sock-wrapped pipe has the highest drain inflow of the pipes tested, both with and without drain sedimentation present. The key takeaways are that the number of perforation rows and slot length most impact effective radius and drain flow, and a sock-wrapped pipe performs best in terms of drain inflow and spacing.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
