Climate change presents problems for risk assessment procedures due to the difficulty of assigning a measure of probability to any future scenario. Grey systems theory provides an alternative means of quantifying uncertainty based on interval numbers. Within a mathematical programming model, grey sy
A major task of our time is to ensure adequate food supplies for the world's current population (now nearing 7 billion) in a sustainable way while protecting the vital functions and biological diversity of the global environment. The task of providing for a growing population is likely to be even mo

Populations under conditions of both sperm competition (high density) and sperm limitation (low density) have been recorded. This leads to what is known as the Allee effect, with higher population densities experien
Aeolian processes are significant in arid regions worldwide and result from interactions between winds and the land surface. They are therefore sensitive to changes in both atmospheric parameters and surface conditions. Many climate models predict an aridification of continental interiors with even
