Ecosystem Article Reviews Samples For Students

The design and goals of management policies are primarily influenced by the fisheries and marine ecosystems health mental concepts. The Cognitive Maps: Cartography and Concepts for an Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Policy article, discusses how these mental concepts that are held by some individuals are fostered by the approach of Back to the Future (BTF) to the policy of fisheries (Tony & Nigel 1976). Such cognitive maps are normally obtained from local and traditional knowledge and the interplay of science. The approach of Back to the Future action employs all the sectors in remedial and positive and is meant to engage the ...

Introduction

Nature has always been the subject of many debates since the discovery of its existence. Human beings have always made it their duty to preserve the integrity of the environment of which nature is a part of. However, human beings are the dominating and the intelligent species have played a major role in the destruction of the ecological system around them. This is due to a rapid increase in population and development. The wilderness is the part of the environment that has not been affected by human activities either positively or negatively. The range of biological diversity found in the wilderness is ...

Article Responses: Coastal Areas

Article 1

It is essential to note that salt marshes and estuaries provide more resources and services than any other ecosystem. They provide edible animals, plants, fiber, thatch, fuel, and fodder. They also offer protection from storms, act as nurseries for fish, and provide biogeochemical filters (Gedan, 230). The aim will thus be to look for evidence concerning the above provisions in salt marshes.

Environmental

The collection will involve taking temperature measurements in the salt marshes, types of plants that are found in the region, water levels and purity, etc. The temperature in the areas is expected to rise while ...

Introduction
Plausibly, one of the biggest problems facing the 21st century humanity is food insecurity. This has been occasioned by a rather unpredicted population increase across the world which is mounting too much pressure on the natural resources for food. Aquatic food has been one of the greatest sources of food for humankind. According to statistical predictions, the demand for products is set ...

The article is impressive in the manner it discusses issues regarding the challenges that people face in their bid to achieve social justice. It is particularly remarkable given that it exposes a contemporary society that is geared towards prosperity by all means possible while disregarding equally important conservative principles. The aspect of fighting for social justice is apparent when the author observes how the Buddhists embarked on a mission to address a local problem of deforestation and destruction of the ecosystem after realizing how harmful the trend was to the community. From the article, the use of religion by ...

Article Review

New additional clues have been discovered that reignites the proposed relationship between human beings and their closest relatives, the apes (Popular Archaeology 2013). Researchers, Frans de Waal, PhD and Zanna Clay, PhD both from the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center Emory University have postulated the theory supporting the linkage. From their recent study of the bonobo primates in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a sanctuary near Kinshasa, striking similarities between the emotional development of the bonobos and children were observed. From the results of the study, it became evident that the great apes had a ...

Riverbend refers to a residential area in the south of Calgary Alberta. The locality has a population of 9682 individuals. With the population increasing adversely due to the immigrants going in the area, various challenges have loomed in, and they are the following:
• Housing calamity: population growth has led to increased demand for houses since the households in the locality have to shelter themselves. The number of young professionals requiring smaller homes is more than the houses available since the region has embarked on the supply of single household homes rather than rental houses that can accommodate more people.
• ...

Chinese Outward FDI Determinants

China's rise as a global commerce powerhouse has generated a flurry of practical partnership engagements and research. The striking GDP growth has, moreover, further spurred interest in China as a unique economic development model. Holding on to non-democratic political practices, China has managed to maintain a steady rise in international status as an economic power by embracing free market, neoliberal economic practices. The cumulative effect has focused, consequently, attention on China's inflows. That is, by focusing on China's capacity for economic growth based on macroeconomic metrics, including GDP, China has been studied largely based on her capacity for investment retention (indicative, presumably, of " ...

Unpopularity in the 1970s

Strategic planning became unpopular in the 1970s and the 1980s because it essentially failed. Companies listened to management consultants plot strategy based on a formula. They failed to really analyze what is on the ground so their strategic recommendations did not work. These companies were beaten at the game by other companies who were more agile than those weighted down by strategies. Strategic planning transformed them into lumbering behemoths that could not adapt to the changing times. In the end, they had to reengineer themselves in order to be competitive again.

The Comeback

Operational efficiency did not make a firm distinct enough to ...

Summary of Main Points

The article entitled “How to get paid twice for everything you do, part 2: Value appropriating innovations” written by Roos (2011) presented main points that focus on business model innovations. The model is more comprehensively evaluated in terms of finding out how business practitioners could create value from determined ways of innovation. As such, the business model was apparently examined through the identified four observable platform choices, to wit: device-centric, service-centric, telco-centric, and aggregate-centric . Concurrently, the author further expounded on the constituent parts of traditional business models; in conjunction with the reported business-ecosystem view of the world.

p. 19-33 Victoria, R., Banwart, S., Black, H., Ingram, J., Joosten, H. Milne, E. and Noellemeyer, E. Synopsis of the Article

According to Victoria et al. (2012), the global demand for food has escalated by over 50% with the demand for water and energy heightening by up to 60% and 45% respectively. These increases have consequentially mounted a tremendous pressure on the world’s soils. In this light, the authors contend that soil plays an all-important role in the stabilization of the world’s climate, water supplies and most importantly biodiversity.

With an intention to emphasize the importance of soil ...
