How to feed the world without loosing what is left of biodiversity? Two answers for this question are found in the literature. On the one hand, the “Land Sparing” paradigm suggests that increasing yield by means of intensive agricultural systems would fulfill the needs of human population and save natural landscapes. On the other hand, “Biodiversity Friendly Farming” argues that agricultural in...

Given the negative environmental impacts of intensive agriculture, there is an urgent need to reduce impact food production on biodiversity. Ecological restoration farmland could potentially contribute this goal. While positive ecological biodiversity are well established, less evidence available regarding economic development and employment. Potentially, prospects for be enhanced by though inc...

This study explores the ecological indicators relevant to long-term sustainability by the food-energywater nexus among BRICS (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa). The sustainability issue arises with the EKC (environmental Kuznets curve) hypothesis and biodiversity that require proper resource allocation to provide food security among the BRICS countries. This study ...

T woodlands of Britain, in common with many natural habitats throughout the World, have experienced considerable loss and fragmentation through a long history of human activity. Current woodland cover has fallen to less than 12% from an estimated high of around 75% around 6,000 years ago. The majority of woodlands are now very small and isolated within a primarily agricultural landscape. This i...

soil colloid particles influence soil chemical and physical properties by their surface electrical charge. with respect to the importance of this issue from both agricultural and environmental points of view, charging behavior of a kaolinite sample was studied in the ph range of 4 to 10 and at three background electrolyte concentrations, including 0.005, 0.05, 0.5 m nacl, by potentiometric titr...

Earnings, sometimes called the “bottom line” or “net income,” are the single most important item in financial statements. They indicate the extent to which a company has engaged in value-added activities. They are a signal that helps direct resource allocation in capital markets. In fact, the theoretical value of a company’s stock is the present value of its future earnings. Increased earnings ...

agricultural landscapes with the green veins and forests patches are forming many parts of european landscapes. in spite of many ecological, economic and agricultural advantages of these elements, they have been changed due to agricultural intensification. we studied changes of these elements, their relations with agricultural activities, farming systems and land use of the adjacent parcel in t...
