Changes in climate, land-use, and land cover alter estuarine nutrient loads, particularly in systems with strong land-sea connectivity. Process-based water quality models are commonly used to assess how upstream changes in hydrology and land management influence downstream estua…

Disiplinler arası bir konu olan mekân, felsefe disiplininde uzun bir müddet zaman mefhumu ile birlikte ele alınmıştır. Sosyoloji alanında ise yakın bir tarihe kadar klasik düşünürlerin çalışmalarında muğlak bir konu olarak görülmüştür. Mekân, toplumsal bir yönü olması hasebiyle …
Anadolu ve Mezopotamya yüzyıllar boyunca pek çok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Bu topraklar üzerinde birçok kavim doğmuş, varlığını sürdürmüş ve yok olmuştur. Bu bölgeler çok uluslu bir yapıya sahiptir. Çok uluslu olması, dinin de çok tanrılı olmasına neden olmuştur. Hem An…
Natural climatic variability, changing climatic conditions, periodic droughts, andexcessive moisture events impact agriculture, industry, municipalities, and surface waterresource management throughout the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Persistent, large-areadroughts are some of th…
Climate variability and its impacts on the agriculture system is clearly evident in Ghana. Weather and seasonal climate forecast information service has been in operation for some time in the country. However, farmers generally do not find the information useful for their farm-l…
The “Scramble for Africa” in 1885 had devastating effects in Sub-Saharan Arica (SSA). The near complete colonization of the entire African continent facilitated the suppression of culture, education, and economy and the theft of natural resources. As a result, Africa ended the 2…
Farmers and entomologists have all experimented with various methods to find the best way to defeat the United States' boll weevil. The techniques themselves, while expansive, can be examined within the scope of the years that they were used. This provides an exciting insight in…
This dissertation takes the relationship between agricultural plants and power as its primary lens on the history of Chinese state-building in the Kham region of eastern Tibet during the early twentieth century. Farming was central to the way nationalist discourse constructed th…
Tohum tarımsal üretimin ilk maddesi ve gıda zincirinin ilk halkası olarak yaşamsal bir öneme sahip olmanın yanında, ilk keşfinden günümüze değin ehlileştirilip evcilleştirilen, ıslah edilip çeşitlendirilen, korunup saklanan ve kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılan tüm insanlığa ait biyoloji…
Land frontiers in the Brazilian Amazon continue to be dominated by the expansion of cattle ranching and large-scale deforestation events. Theory on smallholder agriculture argues that the agroecological intensification of land use—which would counteract land extensive speculatio…
Growing food demand has been the primary cause of increasingly unsustainable water consumption in the world’s breadbasket regions. This unsustainable demand can have steep human and environmental consequences, leading to physical and economic hardship among vulnerable communitie…
This three-article dissertation (TAD) examines the drivers and impacts of Land-use/land-cover Change (LULCC) on the social-ecological system (SES) in a Himalayan region, prone to landslide disasters. The study region is based in Kurseong, a district subdivision in eastern India,…
The understanding of the genetic architecture of a desirable trait is vital in enabling sustainable increased yields of a root crop such as cassava, especially in a low-input agricultural system. The understanding of desirable trait architecture is also vital for the sustained a…
The eastern basin acid mine drainage treatment plant was launched in February 2017. The short-term treatment (STT) of acid mine drainage (AMD) involves a high-density sludge management system and the purpose of the treatment is to discharge improved (neutralised) quality of wate…
There are persistent data gaps and a lack of harmonization among existing data on the U.S. Food System, especially at the subnational level, even around basic data relating to agrifood production, demand, and loss, and their associated environmental impacts. With rising policy f…
Climate change has widespread impacts on the agriculture sector, especially in northern latitudes where warming is amplified, and where ecosystems and traditional lifestyles are notably sensitive to the effects of warming. This may enable the northward expansion of agriculture i…
La gastronomía peruana es un símbolo de identidad nacional y uno de los elementos que sustentan su sostenibilidad y resiliencia son los insumos que utilizan. En este grupo de insumos se encuentran los ajíes nativos, los que otorgan a la comida historia, por su origen peruano y s…
Climate change is already affecting food security in West Africa, posing a serious threat to the agriculture--which is mainly rain-dependent. Crop models can help investigate climate-crop relationships in order to better assist farmers. In this study, we implemented AquaCrop at …
Poverty and food insecurity are two on-going issues in the world today. The objectives of the study were to analyze and prepare a profile of household poverty and food insecurity; and to explore and analyze factors affecting household food insecurity in Tennessee. One of the mor…
