· 2. Anthropogenic influences on tropical forest biodiversity. The primary contemporary drivers of tropical forest biodiversity loss include direct effects of human activities such as habitat destruction and fragmentation (landuse change), invasive species and overexploitation, as well as indirect effects of human activities such as climate change (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005).
· The principal greenhouse gases that enter the atmosphere because of human activities—also called anthropogenic—are as follows: Carbon dioxide (CO 2; 72 percent of anthropogenic emissions; GWP of one)—emitted through the burning of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), solid waste, trees and wood products, and chemical processes.
influence anthropogenic impervious surfaces in urban watersheds. However, relatively less is known regarding the weathering of anthropogenic impervious surfaces and potential impacts on water chemistry in the entire watershed. Anthropogenic Surfaces Human activities have created easily weathered impervious surfaces dominated by
· 1. Introduction. Earth systems include the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Human activities influence many of the processes that shape these systems (Crutzen, 2002, Zalasiewicz et al., 2010, Goudie, 2013, and Maslin, 2015).Of particular concern to the disaster risk community are the anthropogenic influences on the occurrence, frequency and intensity of natural .
