Direct impacts of climate change on natural processes may be exacerbated by human activities.
At that depth there also is -- there are natural processes that deal with some amount of oil.
Carbon monoxide is exclusively artificial, and though some ozone is the result of natural processes, most of it is not.
Increased biodiversity was a "happy by-product" of sustainable farming practices and farmers working with "natural processes" to increase productivity, she added.
Protect and restore the integrity of Earth's ecological systems, with special concern for biological diversity and the natural processes that sustain life.
Natural processes involving changes in the Sun could have at least as powerful an effect on global temperature as increased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
The bionic impact on software is in its infancy, but software developers and scientists are already investigating natural processes in order to apply them to software.
After the dunes are reshaped, the topsoil is spread over the bare sand in a thin layer, triggering the natural processes that facilitate the recovery of the dunes.
The rising tree population could disrupt the natural processes that cycle snow and energy through the region and increase the amount of carbon it stores, according to the researchers.
It takes a close look at the physical features and natural processes that shape the incredible plant and animal life to be found underwater as well as life-forms exposed by the tides.
Stacking up the numbers, he realised that human activities were adding CO2 to the atmosphere in a quantity and rate equivalent to all natural processes of absorption or emission of the gas.
Damage that occurs at the cellular or molecular level can disrupt the body's natural control processes and allow an uncontrolled growth of cells, or cancer.
He said there was no guarantee that introducing a specific genetic change would have much impact in a population which was subject to the effects of many other natural selection processes.
The removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, either through the enhancement of natural weathering processes or direct capture from ambient air are further examples, as well as the enhancement of oceanic CO2 uptake through ocean fertilisation with scarce nutrients or the enhancement of upwelling processes.
The main shift has been to more direct manipulation as the device processes more natural inputs.
It also ignores the considerable value of services derived from the physical, biological, and chemical processes in natural ecosystems, including nutrient recycling, flood risk reduction, water cleaning and storage, climate regulation, and maintenance of biodiversity.
FORBES: Holiday Shopping Rebellion: Anticonsumerism and Passing "Peak Stuff"
Yes, there were a few social Darwinists who used the analogy of natural selection to explain market processes.
Many processes, both natural and artificial, do not fall into patterns that really allow for useful predictions or projections.
Technological progress, and (it should follow) increasing global integration, are in some ways natural and self-fuelling processes, depending chiefly on human ingenuity and ambition: it would be hard (though, as history shows, not impossible) to call a halt to innovation.
These new techniques give scientists and engineers the tools to explore the role of colloidal and small particulate material in natural waters and in water treatment processes.
The short answer is: calling into question whether the processes of random variation and natural selection are all we really need in order to understand the origin of species.
These firms often utilize natural gas as a key input for their processes, so when prices of this potent fuel are slumping, it is great news for their bottom lines.
The report, Nurturing Nature highlighted the importance of the natural environment to economic activity - that ecological processes deliver the resources needed for economic progress - but 11 of 15 of the most important UK habitats are declining.
But CO2 falls into a different category: it is a natural part of the atmosphere and integral to the processes of life.
Now to help facilitate the growth of robot scientists for routine, automated experiment, King and his team are urging that the methods and processes of science be formalized, to remove the ambiguities of natural language and make it easier to reproduce experiments and build the bases of knowledge.
But tacticians are natural partners in sales and marketing alignment, which fits their desire to optimize processes and results.
It will also introduce new processes for getting paint into cavities where corrosion can begin and new tub ovens that use less natural gas and electricity.
FORBES: GM Showers Kansas City With One Of Its Largest Factory Investments Ever
The best tool to protect oneself from a natural disaster is private insurance, said Howard Kunreuther, co-director of the Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
The reality of abundant natural gas is also a blessing for Texas and the US in the manufacturing sector of the economy, where natural gas is used as a feedstock in all manner of chemical, fertilizer, plastics and other manufacturing processes.
