“…Potential effect of the global warming on the dynamics of populations, communities and ecosystems [15,25,51], terrestrial as well as aquatic [27,63], has been an issue of a vigorous discussion recently. The focus of attention has usually been on the population dynamics to address the possibility of extinction or invasion of particular species [6,14] and/or possible changes in the community structure [7,49].…”

Mathematical Modelling of Plankton–Oxygen Dynamics Under the Climate Change

Abstract. Ocean dynamics is known to have a strong effect the global climate change and on the composition of the atmosphere. In particular, it is estimated that about 70% of the atmospheric oxygen is produced in the oceans due to the photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton. However, the rate of oxygen production depends on water temperature and hence can be affected by the global warming. In this paper, we address this issue theoretically by considering a model of a coupled plankton-oxygen dynamics where the rate of oxygen production slowly changes with time to account for the ocean warming. We show that a sustainable oxygen production is only possible in an intermediate range of the production rate. If, in the course of time, the oxygen production rate becomes too low or too high, the system's dynamics changes abruptly resulting in the oxygen depletion and plankton extinction. Our results indicate that the depletion of atmospheric oxygen on global scale (which, if happens, obviously can kill most of life on Earth) is another possible catastrophic consequence of the global warming, a global ecological disaster that has been overlooked.

“…Which in the collective and individual consciousness has existed since ancient times. Accordingly, in this aspect, the essence that must be perceived and understood is not only environmental activities, but above all the preservation of the planet [1] including biodiversity, climate catastrophe prevention and significant climate change [13] and others.…”

The article reveals the peculiarities of the formation of strategies for the development of ecological consciousness (ecophilic educational strategies) of higher education students on the basis of digital models of ecophobic tendencies (intentions, values). Based on the application of the developed “Fedorets-Klochko mini-questionnaire "Ecophobic consciousness of the industrial epoch"” an experimental study of ecophobic and ecophilic intentions and values of higher education students. This mini-questionnaire reveals the environmental aspects of consciousness by actualizing the culture and psychology of everyday life. Based on the application of digital and mathematical modeling, ecological and value comprehension of the results of experimental research conducted using this mini-questionnaire, a model of “Archaic ecophobic intentions and values” was formed. This model contains the following digital models: “Matrix of coefficients (weights) for determining ecophobic intentions and values” and “Cluster model of ecophobic intentions and values”. Based on the application of these digital models, the concept of sustainable development and other concepts and approaches, three ecophilic educational strategies have been developed: “Synergistic strategy of personal security through care for the Earth”; “Strategy for harmonization of needs based on care for the Earth”; “Strategy for harmonization of human-Earth interaction”. When using the “Matrix of coefficients (weights) to determine ecophobic intentions and values” determines the system-organizing value and the dominant influence of the “Synergistic strategy of personal security through care for the Earth”. This strategy has a genetic and semantic connection with the basic vital (vital) value – food security (individual and collective). The application of this strategy can be relevant in educational theory and practice and in everyday life (life, work) to optimize and minimize human needs.

Plant indicator status and implications for natural disaster management in both developed communities and indigenous communities

Only a few rigorous studies have attempted to focus on the topic of plant indicators in relation to natural disasters, although recently an increasing number of people have realized its significance. In an effort to aid disaster management, this article studied and aimed to improve the status of plant indicators in predicting or signaling natural disasters. Using a qualitative content analysis, the plant indicators' uncertain status and certain status are systematically compared using specific plants, developed community efforts, indigenous community traditions, and characteristics of natural disaster management. A key tenet is that all stakeholders must change plant indicators' uncertain status to certain status by comprehensively elaborating on the integration between developed communities and indigenous communities, plant indicators as a research agenda, the inclusion of plant indicators in disaster management policy and local plans, and education and training.
