Big Earth Data infrastructure must further condense and abstract common workloads and application models with consideration for the features of Big Earth Data and the typical needs of SDG-related applications.Systems should be designed and built based on benchmarks, with integration and scheduling of services and resources as a central focus (e.g., high-performance, high-throughput, intelligent computing and cloud services). Focusing on transparent data access and efficient data circulation will help integrate software and hardware for increased performance, capacity, and flexibility.
With climate models predicting a decrease in soil moisture conditions in many regions in the future, it is crucial for soil ecology to comprehend how springtails respond to soil condition changes. A study by Wang et al., 2022 investigating the effects of soil moisture on the euedaphic springtail, Folsomia candida, found that reproduction was the most sensitive to soil water potential, suggesting that population recruitment is limited to periods of high soil moisture, while body growth and activities may continue in moderately dry soil, contributing to species resilience during drought.
This chapter aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and Goal 15: Life on Land by discussing the role of transparency regarding livestock animal welfare in consumer attitudes toward livestock production practices.
The United Nations General Assembly decided that International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples would be observed every year on 9th August. On this day, people from around the world are encouraged to help spread the UN’s message on the protection and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples. Elsevier is pleased to share this special collection of freely available articles to help spread awareness about this important topic. Please feel free to download and share these papers.
