This dataset comes from the Community Survey questions relating to the Community Health & Well-Being performance measure: "With “10” representing the best possible life for you and “0” representing the worst, how would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?" and "With “10” representing the best possible life for you and “0” representing the worst, how do you think you will stand about five years from now?" – the results of both scores are then used to assess a Cantril Scale which is a way of assessing general life satisfaction. As per the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving Scale the three categories of identification are as follows: Thriving – Respondents rate their current life as a 7 or higher AND their future life as an 8 or higher. Struggling – Respondents either rate their current life moderately (5 or 6) OR rate their future life moderately (5, 6 or 7) or negatively (0 to 4). Suffering – Respondents rate their current life negatively (0 to 4) AND their future life negatively (0 to 4). The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.This page provides data for the Community Health and Well-Being performance measure.

Features represent element occurrences of significant natural communities (ecological communities), as recorded in the New York Natural Heritage Program's Biodiversity Database (Biotics). An element occurrence is one natural community type at one location. Examples of community types include deep emergent marsh, red maple-hardwood swamp, dwarf shrub bog, hemlock-northern hardwood forest, and tidal creek. Natural community occurrences in this dataset are considered significant from a statewide perspective. NY Natural Heritage documents all occurrences of community types that are rare in New York State. For more common community types, NY Natural Heritage documents occurrences where the community at that location is ranked as being of excellent or good quality, by meeting specific, documented criteria for size, undisturbed and intact condition, and quality of the surrounding landscape. A natural community is an assemblage of interacting plant and animal populations that share a common environment; the particular assemblage of plant and animal species occurs across the landscape in areas with similar environmental conditions. Significant natural communities are rare or high-quality wetlands, forests, grasslands, ponds, streams, and other types of habitats, ecosystems, and natural areas. NY Natural Heritage tracks locations of significant natural communities because they serve as habitat for a wide range of plants and animals, both rare and common; and because community occurrences in good condition support intact ecological processes and provide ecological value and services.

The purpose of this project was to map the estimated distribution of grassland communities of the Southern Great Plains prior to Euro-American settlement. The Southern Great Plains Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA), under the direction of the Bureau of Land Management and the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative, includes four ecoregions: the High Plains, Central Great Plains, Southwestern Tablelands, and the Nebraska Sand Hills. The REA advisors and stakeholders determined that the mapping accuracy of available national land-cover maps was insufficient in many areas to adequately address management questions for the REA. Based on the recommendation of the REA stakeholders, we estimated the potential historical distribution of 10 grassland communities within the Southern Great Plains project area using data on soils, climate, and vegetation from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) including the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) and Ecological Site ...

Microbial invasions can compromise ecosystem services and spur dysbiosis and disease in hosts. Nevertheless, the mechanisms determining invasion outcomes often remain unclear. Here, we examine the role of iron-scavenging siderophores in driving invasions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa into resident communities of environmental pseudomonads. Siderophores can be “public goods” by delivering iron to individuals possessing matching receptors; but they can also be “public bads” by withholding iron from competitors lacking these receptors. Accordingly, siderophores should either promote or impede invasion, depending on their effects on invader and resident growth. Using supernatant feeding and invasion assays, we show that invasion success indeed increased when the invader could use its siderophores to inhibit (public bad) rather than stimulate (public good) resident growth. Conversely, invasion success decreased the more the invader was inhibited by the residents’ siderophores. Our findings identify siderophores as a major driver of invasion dynamics in bacterial communities under iron-limited conditions.

This series of information sheets introduces health literacy, its relevance to public policy, and the ways it can be used to inform the promotion of good health, the prevention and management of communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and the reduction of health inequities. It provides information and links to further resources to assist organizations and governments to incorporate health literacy responses into practice, service delivery systems, and policy.

Deterministic models have difficulties to take into account stochasticity during community assembly. As a tool to circumvent this problem, we present a qualitative discreteevent model, where consequences of interspecific interactions are described as rules. This model provides a map of all possible future dynamics for a given system, which allows to exhaustively describe the possible pathways during an assembly process. Such a description does not rely on species traits details and is insensitive to stochastic effects. This allows to show that subsets of species are sometimes impossible to reach starting from larger sets of species, and therefore to question the reachability of community states during the system’s dynamics. Applying the model to an experimental dataset studying the collapse of protist communities, we obtain a very good theory-experiment agreement. We finally discuss what the notion of reachability can bring to community assembly.

This dataset contains information on benthic invertebrate community structure of samples collected from nearshore index monitoring stations within a Great Lake basin each year. The composition of benthic invertebrates (such as insects, worms, mussels, snails and crayfish) found in a sample is used as a biological indicator of trophic status and general environmental conditions to help understand ecosystem function, structure and change. Surveys are typically conducted in one of the Great Lakes basins each year. In most cases, five replicate samples (600 μm mesh, 9-inch ponar) were collected at each station. This dataset links with Sediment chemistry (Great Lakes nearshore areas) and Water chemistry (Great Lakes nearshore areas) datasets.

Marine–atmosphere microbial exchange is essential for nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics, though mechanisms are poorly understood. The role of the sea surface microlayer (SML) in mediating these exchanges was investigated. Samples were collected across a latitude gradient in the Pacific Ocean, and 16S rRNA gene and transcript sequences from surface seawater (SW), SML, and atmospheric samples were analyzed. The genomic signature varied diurnally and spatially, with the SW community being the most consistent and the air community the most variable. The SML displayed genomic characteristics intermediate between SW and air. The 16S rRNA transcript signature, a proxy for active microbial communities, showed tight clustering in the air and SML, suggesting selective control compared to SW. The transcriptional community composition in the air clustered between the SML and SW, pointing to viable non-SML-mediated exchange. Furthermore, taxa from air- and marine-associated communities showed a gradient of presence through all three environments, suggesting an exchange of key species through the SML. Additionally, certain volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere demonstrated a noteworthy relationship with specific bacterial taxa in the SML. This study improves our understanding of the role of the SML in ocean–atmosphere exchanges of marine bacteria and highlights how microbial communities travel and best utilize their environment.

This research study focused on assessing the contribution of woodlot management and its resources to the livelihood of the local communities in the Vhembe District in Limpopo Province. The household survey using a semi-structured questionnaire was conducted at Thenzheni and Gogogo communities, which are situated in the Thulamela municipality of Vhembe District Municipality. The total interviewed sampled households from both Thenzheni and Gogogo communities was 198 and 122, respectively.

An integral part of delivering high-quality healthcare is understanding the social determinants of health (SDOH) of patients and of communities in which healthcare is provided. SDOH are defined by the World Health Organization as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.

SDOH, although experienced by individuals, exist at the community level. Healthcare systems that learn about the communities in which their patients live can adapt their services to meet the communities’ specific needs. This, in turn, can help patients and community members overcome obstacles to achieving and maintaining good health.
