Climate Effects on Phytochemistry and Antioxidant Activity of Aloe Vera

Climate Effects on Phytochemistry and Antioxidant Activity of Aloe Vera

Aloe vera (Aloe vera, Xanthorrhoeaceae), a perennial succulent native to South Africa, thrives in subtropical and tropical regions. It is drought-resistant and tolerates a wide range of climatic conditions. Aloe vera is a rich source of phytochemicals, some of which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, immune-boosting, anticancer, anti-aging, and antidiabetic…

Scientists Warn Against Solar Radiation Modification Technologies and Call for Global Moratorium

Warnings Against Solar Radiation Modification Technologies No solar radiation modification (SRM) technologies have reached a level of maturity that would allow for their safe implementation, according to a stern warning from scientists. This has led to a growing call for the European Commission to commit to pursuing a global non-use agreement concerning these technologies. SRM encompasses a…

Plants in Peril: Climate Crisis Threatens Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

Plants in Peril: Climate Crisis Threatens Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

HerbalGram issue 81, published in 2009, featured an extensive article by then-Managing Editor Courtney Cavaliere about the effects of climate change on medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs).1 In the decade since then, the situation has intensified, and new insights have emerged.

In the face of climate change, plants, including MAPs, may move, adapt, or go extinct. Indeed, large-scale changes in…

Sustaining Ghana’s economy requires environmental focus, says PAGE

Sustaining Ghana’s economy requires environmental focus, says PAGE

An international civil society group, Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) is warning of an impending economic doom if the environment is not factored in developmental plans.

Ghana’s forest cover, for instance, has drastically reduced from 8.8 million hectares in the late 1990s to less than one million without appropriate afforestation practices.

This, according to experts, has…

Hunting for models: grounded and rational choice approaches to analyzing climate effects on subsistence hunting in an Arctic community [An article from: Ecological Economics]

Hunting for models: grounded and rational choice approaches to analyzing climate effects on subsistence hunting in an Arctic community [An article from: Ecological Economics] This digital document is a journal article from Ecological Economics, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.Description: Climate change and uncertain economies challenge small Native communities of the North American Arctic, with their reliance on local fish and wildlife resources. Methodological boundaries of single-discipline analyses limit the contribution of academic research to the real-world questions facing Arctic residents. Oversimplified assumptions and lack of data hamper mainstream economic approaches based on rational choice, while more grounded approaches suffer from inability to generalize. We attempt to integrate these two approaches to project the effects of climate change on subsistence hunting in a Canadian Arctic community. In our collaboration, we find that rational choice modeling suggests specific questions that help direct the grounded research. Grounded methods provide general relationships and hypotheses as well as data for economic modeling. Using local knowledge (LK) obtained from grounded methods, we estimate a discrete-choice travel-cost model of subsistence hunting, projecting that climate warming may cost a typical household the equivalent of a half day of lost time during a hunting season. Besides providing data needed to make rational choice applications realistic, grounded methods reveal qualitative information essential for understanding relationships. We conclude that integration and synthesis of these disparate analytical approaches provides insights that neither method alone could have produced.
