CONCORDANCE OF TECHNOGENESIS WITH ECODEVELOPMENT by S. M. Sukhorukova, A. M. Pogorelyi, S. G. Vysotskiy

“…In order to coordinate technogenesis with ecodevelopment and guarantee ecologically sustainable development, refusal of market economy is required, because this will allow to introduce long-term economic responsibility for ecological damage and to take into account changes in environmental management efficiency by using natural science knowledge on the basis of forecasts of cyclic changes in the biosphere.…”

Insights into greener Miocene biomes and globally enhanced terrestrial productivity from fossil leaves by Tammo Reichgelt, Christopher K. West

“…Our results show that the Miocene had higher than modern zonal temperature, precipitation and net primary productivity (NPP) averages, especially for precipitation at latitudes >30°N/°S, suggesting enhanced poleward moisture transport in both hemispheres and a greener biosphere. There is a dearth of Miocene data in the tropics and notably an absence of data points in equatorial localities that have high modern NPP (rainforests), which makes a direct comparison complicated. 89% of investigated sites underwent a precipitation decrease from the Miocene to modern, whereas 66% underwent a temperature decrease, and 60% underwent both a precipitation and a temperature decrease. 67% of sites had more productive biomes during the Miocene than today. …”

Modeling Evapotranspiration Response to Climatic Forcings Using Data-Driven Techniques in Grassland Ecosystems by Xianming Dou, Yongguo Yang

“…Remarkable progress has been made over the last decade toward characterizing the mechanisms that dominate the exchange of water vapor between the biosphere and the atmosphere. This is attributed partly to the considerable development of machine learning techniques that allow the scientific community to use these advanced tools for approximating the nonlinear processes affecting the variation of water vapor in terrestrial ecosystems. …”

Des fondements ontologiques de la crise, et de l’être qui pourrait la dépasser by Augustin Berque

“…By the same token, mediance drive us to an ethical behaviour toward the Earth as our ecumene, i.e. the ensemble of human environments or milieus, which is not only ecological (as the biosphere is), but eco-techno-symbolic. In short, we need to position environmental ethics ontologically, as an ecumenal ethics.…”
