Research on how urban environments affect wildlife and plant species is on the rise, reflecting increased interest in urban biodiversity and ecological adaptation. - Microplastic Pollution and Its Effects:
The focus on microplastic ingestion by aquatic species signifies an emerging concern regarding pollution and its impact on food webs and ecosystem health. - Biotechnology and Sustainable Practices:
An increasing number of studies are exploring biotechnological applications in agriculture and waste management, indicating a trend towards sustainable and innovative solutions in biological sciences.
Declining or Waning
- Agricultural Practices and Crop Studies:
Research specifically focused on traditional agricultural practices and crop yields has decreased, indicating a potential shift towards more ecological and sustainable approaches. - Invasive Species Research:
Studies on the impacts and management of invasive species seem to be less frequent, suggesting a waning interest or perhaps a transition to more holistic ecological studies. - Genetic Studies in Wildlife Populations:
Although still relevant, the frequency of genetic studies focusing solely on wildlife populations has declined, possibly due to a broader focus on ecological interactions and conservation efforts.
