Due to the growth of the global population, water stress has risen sharply. However, water stress in high latitudes is not only due to population growth but also to low local temperatures. Numerous studies have shown ...

Conservation reintroduction programs are valuable tools in supporting endangered or extinct species in the wild. With the many ways humans are causing adverse environmental impacts, it is crucial that we put effort into ...

Boreal birds have experienced population declines that may be related to alteration of the forest at a range of scales. Understanding how resource extraction may affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical ...

With the growing focus on sustainable transportation, Battery Electric Buses (BEBs) have emerged as a viable solution. BEBs have received significant recognition as an environmentally conscious and sustainable means of ...

In this study, pigs from Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia) are examined using nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes to explore possible changes to their diet over the past ~5,000 years. This temporal period is of particular ...

Wolves have profound effects on the ecosystems around them. As large carnivores, they can significantly manipulate ecosystems by controlling potentially overabundant ungulate populations. This study attempts to find predation ...

Probabilistic reliability analysis and design have been a research topic of intense interest in geotechnical engineering in recent decades due to the inherent uncertainty in soil property data obtained from field or ...

Bridges play a key role in the transportation sector while serving as lifelines for the economy and safety of communities. The need for resilient bridges is especially important following natural disasters, where they ...

The Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act requires forest tree farm licence (TFL) holders and timber supply area (TSA) to have a sensible silviculture prescription that ensures licensees to replace harvested trees ...

Quickly changing temperatures due to climate change are expected to have devastating consequences on the migratory bird populations around the globe. However, surprisingly, several studies have demonstrated that some ...
