TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined people's affective reactions towards air pollution and some personality and demographic correlates of these reactions, including degree of anger and anxiety aroused by air pollution; perceived degree of pollution severity; propensity to pay towards pollution abatement; and methods of coping with air pollution.

TL;DR: It is suggested that restoration ecology, the science underlying the concepts and tools needed to restore ecosystems, must be recognized as an integral element for marine conservation and environmental management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored economic aspects of agricultural production under projected climate-change scenarios by the "production function" approach, as applied to two representative crops: wheat, as the major crop grown in Israel's dry southern region, and cotton, representing the more humid climate in the north.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of existing literature and research to assist decision makers in their decision-making with reliable recent data by mapping, gathering, analyzing, and comparing different valuation results of external costs associated with various types of pollution and disamenities related to landfilling and incineration of solid waste.

TL;DR: Since the waste in Israel has a high organic material content, it was found that the most cost-effective means to treat the degradable organic components is by aerobic composting, which could reduce a significant amount of GHG at relatively low cost and short time.
