The environment consists of the surroundings in which an organism operates including air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation. Effects stemming from the choices made by the human population in regards to environmental health are by and large ruining the environment both for themselves and for other organisms. This series covers leading-edge research in a cross-section of fields focusing on the environment including current research data on environmental odours; nuclear waste treatment and management; habitat loss; deciduous forest ecology and conservation; methane emissions impacts; forest logging and the biology, habitat and environment of the beetle.
