Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

17.8K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Levels of Use of a GIS

90
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Selected Data About Geographic Locations01:25

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

63
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

What are Biogeochemical Cycles?

34.0K
The most common elements in organic molecules, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, are only available in the ecosystem in limited amounts. Therefore, these nutrients must be recycled through both biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem, in processes generally called biogeochemical cycles.

Biodiversity and Human Values

13.3K
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.

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

22.8K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Area of Science:

  • Sustainability Science
  • Environmental Science
  • Earth System Science

Background:

  • The planetary boundaries (PB) concept is central to sustainability studies, driving global research and policy.
  • A systematic review of the scientific state of PB research is needed.
  • Existing research lacks a comprehensive scientific investigation map of planetary boundaries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the scientific state of the planetary boundaries concept.
  • To clarify the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics, research hotspots, and frontiers of PB research.
  • To provide a reference for scholars interested in planetary boundaries.

Main Methods:

  • Scientometric analysis of 530 academic publications on planetary boundaries (2009-2021).
  • Visualization techniques including social network analysis, dual-map overlay, co-cited references, structure variation articles, and co-occurrence keywords using CiteSpace.
  • Clustering of keywords to identify predominant research themes.

Main Results:

  • Planetary boundaries is an emerging, interdisciplinary research topic gaining global attention.
  • Most productive authors and institutions are in England, USA, Germany, and Sweden.
  • Key research themes include boundary threshold calculations, integration with assessment methods (LCA, footprint families), downscaling, and socio-economic expansion.

Conclusions:

  • The planetary boundaries framework is a significant paradigm in sustainable development research.
  • Research on planetary boundaries is increasingly interdisciplinary and globally recognized.
  • This study provides a valuable map of PB research, highlighting key themes and geographical concentrations.
