HOLANDUCÍA Puerto Banus / The ecosystem consists of a lifechain ranging from wild flowers and mature trees that house and feed the seasons insects who in turn feed the birds, rodents and reptiles (who in turn feed the birds of pray).
80 % of the migrant birds of Northern Europe stop yearly in Andalucia on their way to or from Africa, the most famous resting, breeding and nesting reserve being the Doñana Park in Cadiz. Destroying ths ecosystem (planned by local authorities) would eliminate the natural predators of species we might consider a nuisance and could as a consequence modify the type and quantity of insects or rodents we live with here. As an example, eliminating the frogs who breed in the riverbanks and who feed on mosquitoes and flies would alter the natural balance of the insect colonies. Clearing fields of wild flowers would reduce the amount of caterpillars, butterflies and otherinstects on which the bird colonies are dependent for nesting and feeding. Cutting down trees ( some of considerable age) would destroy the habitat areas of all the mentioned species.
Covering such important surface with cement would alter and rise the local temperatures, since the humidity generated by its present plants cools the hot temperatures by night. This is one of the principles of global warming, but on local scale. This is one of the last such ecosystem in the area. This photo set is to show what we would lose if the area is destroyed by these impending building plans and projects. Proyecto La Herencia aims to raise awareness about the need for protection of this land with its ecosystem and create a debate about how best to do so.

The coolest season has set in.Nights bitingly cold...gusty, howling wind blowing from the Himalayas in the north.

On 11 October, the Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR) and FEBA (Friends of Ecosystem-based Adaptation) organised a seminar to explore the nexus between gender inclusiveness and ecosystem-based approaches to disaster risk reduction to mark the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction on 13 October. Three speakers and five panelists joined the presentation session and a panel discussion. On the occasion of this event, the new source book Disasters and Ecosystems: Resilience in a Changing Climate with a new chapter on gender mainstreaming in ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) was launched. In addition, PEDRR launched its new visual identity and presented its new Virtual Global Support Centre. The Centre will offer technical expertise on Eco-DRR, a virtual library, new regional networks and knowledge hubs, and more access to data, maps, and tools. Over 50 people and 11 representatives from permanent missions (Algeria, Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, the European Union, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Nauru, Pakistan, Togo) joined the event.

Atmospheric deposition currently accounts for roughly 12% of the reactive nitrogen entering terrestrial and coastal marine ecosystems globally, although in some regions, atmospheric deposition accounts for a higher percentage (about 33% in the United States). (Note: the projection was included in the original study and is not based on MA scenarios).

The sagebrush ecosystem is the largest interconnected habitat type in the country. Home to more than 350 species of plants and animals and bridging portions of 13 states, America’s sagebrush country sustains iconic plants and wildlife, and a uniquely western way of life.
These pictures were taken outside of Bend, Oregon, near a sage-grouse mating site, or lek.

"1. This is a section of mouse hippocampus that has been stained with fluorescent antibodies (immunohistochemsitry) to highlight two types of cells: Neurons (blue) and Astrocytes (green). In addition, the bright pink stain highlights other types of cell nuclei.
2. Neurons once took center stage in the study of learning and memory. However as depicted in this photo, the brain contains a rich ecosystem of different cell types that work together for the brain to properly function. The fluorescent green astrocytes (greek for ""star cell"") are one of the most numerous types of cells in the brain. They are dynamically involved in synaptic transmission, metabolic and ionic homeostasis, inflammatory response, antioxidant defense, trophic support of neurons, as well as in the establishment and maintenance of the blood–brain barrier.
3. Imaging methods like this help to determine if drug treatments targeting one type of cell have detrimental affects on the other members of the brain's ecosystem."

By far my favourite combination: an Ecosystem notebook + a black leather VadeMecum Pocket Cover.
The ecosystem notebook is exactly the same as the Moleskine. The cover fits like a glove.
