considering the current upward drift in farm use all over the world, the russian agro-food market has immense possibilities to create such economic conditions under which the farming sector could develop dynamically. the increase in the grain production is of crucial importance for all agricultural branches. in this respect, the grain sector is russia’s strategically significant economic segmen...

Anthropogenic climate change on Earth has emerged as one of he defining problems of our time. It is a systemic phenomenon, nvolving biogeochemical changes occurring on continental, atmopheric, and oceanic scales, and affecting most (if not all) life n earth. It has begun to alter the distribution of species (e.g., anDerWal et al., 2013), due to radical changes in the availability of ife’s most ...

The physiological response of vegetation to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2 ]) modifies productivity and surface energy and water fluxes. Quantifying this response is required for assessments of future climate change. Many global climate models account for this response; however, significant uncertainty remains in model simulations of this vegetation response and its i...

Global environmental changes (GEC) such as climate change (CC) and climate variability have serious impacts in the tropics, particularly in Africa. These are compounded by changes in land use/land cover, which in turn are driven mainly by economic and population growth, and urbanization. These factors create a feedback loop, which affects ecosystems and particularly ecosystem services, for exam...
