Abstract:
... The increased attention paid to the effects of liquefaction on the built environment has led over time to the introduction of vulnerability integral parameters that somehow quantify for a given site and a given seismic shaking the severity of the potential liquefaction damage induced at ground level. If the vulnerability parameter is properly calibrated and effective, it should somehow correlate t ...

Abstract:
... Assessing outcomes of agri-environmental policy implementations is complex. Traditional parametric methods such as using key indicators can miss outcomes that are displaced in time and space, seldom account for the integrated nature of social and biophysical dynamics, and may overlook unintended consequences. This project aimed to overcome these drawbacks by using a landscape biography approach to ...

Abstract:
... The consumption of organic food has increased dramatically in recent years in response to consumers’ concerns with issues related to health, well-being and the environment. However, further increases are restricted by a number of barriers, one of the most important of which is information. Using the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA), this study is the first to examine the role of product specific inf ...

This study investigates if Blue Intensity (BI) parameters are capable of capturing enhanced climatic signals from a key New Zealand dendrochronological species when compared to ring-width (RW) measurements. Three BI parameters (earlywood mean, latewood mean and maximum latewood) recorded generally superior correlations to temperature than conventional RW measurements and these correlations appeare ...

Abstract:
... The failure of depleted bivalve populations to recover naturally is often due to a breakdown in recruitment processes, such as a lack of larvae or suitable settlement substrate. The identification of these recruitment limitations are a critical initial step for determining an appropriate strategy for restoration. A lack of larval supply and settlement substrate have both been suggested as possible ...

Abstract:
... The enhanced-two-step-floating-catchment-area (E2SFCA) method is a popular measure of the spatial accessibility of healthcare such as general practitioner (GP) services. However, the key step of defining appropriate GP and population catchment sizes is often overlooked. Applications of E2SFCA methods use a range of catchment sizes, most of which are arbitrarily defined due to a lack of real-world ...

However, little research has documented if and on how large-scale disturbances affect secondary habitat formers, such as epiphytes and small animals that depend on biogenic habitats. Here we quantified changes in the abundance of b ...
