Potential risks and challenges of climate change in the arid region of northwestern China

Yaning Chen, Xueqi Zhang, Gonghuan Fang et al. · 1 Sep 2020

In the arid region of northwestern China (ARNC), water resources are the most critical factor restricting socioeconomic development and influencing the stability of the area’s ecological systems. The region’s complex water system and unique hydrological cycle show distinctive characteristics. Moreover, the intensified hydrological cycle and extreme climatic and hydrological events resulting from global warming have…

Use of the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) model to examine sustainable agriculture in Thailand

Xuewei Liao, Thi Phuoc Lai Nguyen, Nophea Sasaki · 1 Mar 2022

Sustainable agriculture plays an important role in achieving sustainable development goals with regard to food security and environmental conservation. Sustainable agriculture relies on sustainable farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas production, the wise use of local natural resources, and reductions in negative impacts on the environment and human health. Sustainable farming practices can be driven…

Digital mapping of soil salinization based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data combined with machine learning algorithms

Guolin Ma, Jianli Ding, Lijng Han et al. · 1 Apr 2021

Soil salinization is one of the most important causes of land degradation and desertification, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The dynamic monitoring of soil salinization is of great significance to land management, agricultural activities, water quality, and sustainable development. The remote sensing images taken by the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Sentinel-1 and the multispectral…

Encouraging circular economy and sustainable environmental practices by addressing waste management and biomass energy production

Nazim Forid Islam, Bhoirob Gogoi, Rimon Saikia et al. · 1 Dec 2024

The current linear economy assumes abundant, easily accessible, and cost-effective natural resources. However, this assumption is unsustainable, especially considering the world’s current trajectory exceeding the Earth’s ecological limits. In contrast, circular economy (CE) reduces wastes and improves resource efficiency, making them a more sustainable alternative to the dominant linear model. Biomass energy generated from agricultural…

Motivations, enablers and barriers to the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices by smallholder farmers: Evidence from the transitional and savannah agroecological zones of Ghana

Philip Antwi‐Agyei, Emmanuel Mawuli Abalo, Andrew J. Dougill et al. · 1 Oct 2021

This paper examined the prioritized climate-smart agricultural practices by smallholder farmers, the motivations of adopting climate-smart agricultural practices, the enablers to the successful adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, and the barriers to the successful adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in the transitional and savannah agroecological zones of Ghana. Specifically, we employed ethnographic research using participatory…
