Економічні методи стимулювання раціонального використання природних ресурсів та охорони навколишнього середовища зазвичай на практиці являють собою сукупність заходів, спрямованих на принципову зміну організації економічної діяльності суб’єктів господарювання в напрямку, сприятливому для збереження природно- ресурсного потенціалу та навколишнього середовища, шляхом впливу на ключові фінансові важелі, які регламентують цю діяльність.

Abstract:

У роботі проаналізовано підходи до розуміння сутності та особливостей оподаткування ресурсних платежів в Україні та світі. Досліджено розвиток екологічного податку в Україні а його роль у наповненні бюджетів, також проаналізовано динаміку та структуру податкових надходжень з рентної плати. Визначено вплив рівня ресурсних платежів на макроекономічні фінансові та екологічні показники. Основною метою проведеного дослідження стало визначення проблем вирішення яких сприятиме вдосконаленню оподаткування ресурсів в Україні та скороченню рівня забруднення навколишнього природнього середовища .<br>

Results indicate that if present trends continue, 25 (78%) of the 32 taxa native to California will likely be extinct or extirpated within the next century, following the bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), which was extir

Insects have become increasingly resistant to chemical control methods, while at the same time public awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides has increased. The search for more environmentally 'friendly' means of pest suppression is gaining momentum and biological control (the use of natural enemies to reduce populations of noxious organisms) has become an increasingly sought-after option. Despite an increase in the establishment rate of insect natural enemies, classical biological control of arthropods is currently no more successful than it was one hundred years ago. Ecolog

Abstract:

The late 1960s witnessed an unprecedented interest in the environment. One of the intellectual characteristics of this period was the rise of ecocentrism, a form of ecological reasoning that challenged the domination of anthropocentric environmental thinking and practice. The thesis briefly reviews the evolution of ecological forms of reason, and then poses two questions. The first question asks: "What is ecological reason and how does the literature conceptualise it?" This leads to a theoretical analysis of the forms of ecological reason discernable in the literature, and results in a 'matrix

In a globalizing world, trade has become essential to supporting the needs and wants of billions of people. Virtually everyone now consumes resource commodities and manufactured products traded all over the world; the ecological footprints of nations are now scattered across the globe. The spatial separation of material production (resource exploitation) from consumption eliminates negative feedbacks from supporting eco-systems. Most consumers remain unaware of the impacts that their trade dependence imposes on distant ecosystems (out of sight out of mind). I take the first steps in developing

Despite these expectations and goals, many special schools are not fully strengthened and functional yet.

This thesis studies the poor development performance of resource-rich developing economies, known as the resource curse. In the first chapter we provide a comprehensive literature review of the topic and the channels through which resource abundance can result in the resource curse. Issues of corruption and governance have been emphasised to be the main driver of the resource curse. This has been illustrated by a negative relationship between resource abundance and corruption control in the literature. However, there is a gap in how natural resources facilitate corruption.

Wetland mitigation has become a 2.4 billion dollar per year industry in the U.S. and in Virginia it leads to the replacement of 77 ha of palustrine forested wetlands (PFWs) per year with mitigation wetlands, including created forested wetlands (CFWs). Mitigation hinges on the idea that compensation wetlands lead to “no net loss of wetland function” when compared to impacted wetlands. We assessed the functions of provision of habitat and biogeochemical functions associated with production of biomass, the retention and removal of nutrients and the accumulation of soil C over 8 years in seven CFW

Once considered a 'green' industry, tourism and its associated ecological impacts are now widely acknowledged. Focus within tourism planning has aimed to reduce the ecological burden placed on a destination area, and move towards a more sustainable tourism industry. This research proposes the use of the Ecological Footprint (EF) as a tool to compare the ecological costs of different types of tourism. The EF shows the relative amount of productive land appropriated by the activities and choices of an individual tourist. The main goal of this study was to analyse and compare the

Resource pulses may influence mechanisms that can regulate consumer populations directly through bottom-up effects on resource availability and indirectly via top-down effects of inter-specific interactions. Although these are well documented in food webs, the responses within nest webs (communities structured around nesting cavities in trees) have received little attention. Bark beetle (subfamily: Scolytinae) outbreaks represent food pulses that may lead to secondary pulses of nest cavities and increases in fecundity and competition among insectivores if excavating new nest cavities allows ex

However, oceanographic conditions are currently changing at ever-increasing rates due to global warming and human harvest impacting marine ecosystems. Thus, seabirds have become particularly vulnerable to these changes. Accord

Intraspecific (within-species) competition is often expected to drive adaptation and diversification by increasing selection for the use of novel resources, thereby alleviating the detrimental effects of competition. However, this is not always the expected outcome; theory suggests that intraspecific competition can also drive convergent evolution. On the other hand, interspecific (between-speci

Abstract:

This thesis utilizes a theoretical framework which links biophysical and social domains of ecosystems via ecosystem services (ES), in order to conduct a socio-ecological assessment of urban watersheds in three communities in Chilean and Argentine regions of southern Patagonia. Results from this study show that expanding urban areas may be undermining the ability of local watersheds to provide for high quality ES posing potential risks to community wellbeing. Secondly, researchers and decision makers influencing regional natural resource management share similar values to general community memb

Abstract:

<p> The primary goal of this research is to advance methods for deriving fine-grained, scalable, wildland fuels attributes in 3-dimensions using terrestrial and airborne laser scanning technology. It is fundamentally a remote sensing research endeavor applied to the problem of fuels characterization. Advancements in laser scanning are beginning to have significant impacts on a range of modeling frameworks in fire research, especially those utilizing 3-dimensional data and benefiting from efficient data scaling. The pairing of laser scanning and fire modeling is enabling advances in understandi

Abstract:

An ecologically based model of forest succession is presented. In the model, trees compete for a share of limited growth resources available from their environment. Competition is reflected by each tree's effect on the resource pool and is not explicitly modeled. Model parameters were fit to field data from subalpine forests of the Rocky Mountains. A technique for estimating model parameters from understory-tolerance rankings and silvical characteristics of each species is also presented. The model's output was consistent with our current understanding of forest dynamics. Emergent properties o
