The Soil Ecosystem02:23

The Soil Ecosystem

24.7K
Plants obtain inorganic minerals and water from the soil, which acts as a natural medium for land plants. The composition and quality of soil depend not only on the chemical constituents but also on the presence of living organisms. In general, soils contain three major components:

Biodiversity and Human Values

17.1K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

National Nursing Organizations I

3.1K
Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

Area of Science:

  • Conservation science
  • Global ecology
  • Environmental policy

Background:

  • Current conservation strategies prioritize high-intensity ecosystem values like species richness.
  • These strategies may miss conservation opportunities in low-intensity, broadly distributed areas.
  • Global conservation requires assessing diverse ecosystem values beyond traditional metrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify globally significant ecosystem values beyond high-intensity metrics.
  • To highlight opportunities for high-impact, broadly distributed conservation contributions.
  • To assess the role of nations as "conservation superpowers" in global conservation outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed six globally significant ecosystem values: intact wilderness, freshwater availability, productive marine environments, migratory wildlife breeding habitat, soil carbon storage, and climate change-driven range shift potential.
  • Analyzed national contributions to these values relative to their geographic area.
  • Identified nations with disproportionately large contributions to global ecosystem values.

Main Results:

  • Six key ecosystem values were identified for broad-scale conservation assessment.
  • Nations can make significant global conservation contributions through broadly distributed values.
  • Canada and Russia were identified as "conservation superpowers" due to their large, area-disproportionate contributions.

Conclusions:

  • Conservation planning should incorporate broadly distributed ecosystem values alongside high-intensity ones.
  • Nations identified as "conservation superpowers" have a significant global environmental influence.
  • Targeted national policies can yield substantial global conservation benefits.
