Recently, population growth and resource depletion have been matched by a growing demand for self-sustaining communities. Numerous studies promote sustainable solutions to the concerns of climate change food scarcity. This study aims at creating an automated Economic Land Utilization Optimization Model (ELUOM) that identifies cost-effective agricultural practices. Soil, water & climatic cha...

sustainable management of limited land and water resources is urgently needed to meet the increasing demand for food and to protect the environment. land suitability analysis is a prerequisite in assessing and proposing sustainable land use alternatives for an area. soil data are usually available at different levels of detail and stored in various forms, usually soil maps and/or soil observati...

This paper established evaluation index system of comprehensive utilization of land from the three aspects of economic benefits, ecological benefits and social benefits. Firstly, ridge regression (RR) is used to the indicator index system for screening, and then genetic algorithm and support vector machine (that is GASVM) is trained to the transformed samples. Moreover, the comprehensive evalua...

classification and utilization of lands based on their capability are necessary for sustainable land use management. the purpose of this study was to identify and grade the effective qualities on the rainfed farming in the roin area, north khorasan province, during the year of 2011. based on field observations and literature review the land qualities including climate, rooting conditions, moist...

Oxygen transport across the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells was examined by varying the O2/N2 ratio and by varying the area of the GDL extending laterally from the gas flow channel under the bipolar plate (under the land). As the cathode is depleted of oxygen, the current density becomes limited by oxygen transport across the GDL. Oxygen deplet...

According to the requirements of provincial land management operation, this paper introduced a method to build municipal land usage database on country level land usage database building. It realizes provincial land usage data updating, transfer and application management. This paper analyzed provincial land usage database construction requirements from data, software and hardware environment, ...

Ammonia-oxidizers play a key role in nitrification, which is important for nitrogen cycling and soil function. However, little is known about how vegetation successions and agricultural practices caused by human activities impact the ammonia-oxidizers and nitrification process. Putative ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) communities under different land utilization patterns of r...
