During the latest 5 years this rhythm has become more stable (about 2.543-2.520 ha).From the spatial point of view, the structure of land is relatively homogenous. Agricultural land represents the main land use category in most of the villages. At the beginning of 2005, agricultural land ...
It is crucial for decision-makers to understand potential trade-offs between these goals to find a balance of human needs and environmental impacts. In this paper, we analyze pathways of agricultural productivity, land use, and land-cover changes in India until 2030 and their impacts on ...
resulting from agricultural land use history in northern New Jersey, an 8080 km2 area in the mid-Atlantic region, documenting the spatial extent of primary and post-agricultural forest types in the broader landscape and the differences in the structure and composition of their vegetation and soils....
In agriculture, a field is an area of land, enclosed or otherwise, used for agricultural purposes such as cultivating crops or as a paddock or other enclosure
of irrigated land diminishes soil fertility. Thus, inappropriate use of inputs for agricultural production has far-reaching effects. There is no single correct mix of inputs to the agricultural land, as it is dependent on local climate, land quality, and economic development; appropriate levels ...
use of excessive pesticides, thus impacting the soil fertility (Pampulha & Oliveira, 2006). Due to mechanical destruction, desiccation, reduce pore volume,soil compaction, and disruption in the chain of food supply, agricultural land subjected to tillage experienced decrease in the quantity of soil...
Combining the two historical landscape analysis tools resulted in a qualitative and quantitative understanding of changes in land-cover, land use, and land management. Conclusions Comparing physical land-cover change with local farmer perspectives is key to a comprehensive understanding of landscape change...
Land use spatial allocation is defined by many authors as the process of assigning different uses (industrial zones, agri- cultural areas, recreation zones, public facilities) to specific geographical zones in order to optimize the spatial and tem- poral efficiency of land use (Stewart et al. ...
Agricultural planning needs to take the “real footprint” of cities into account—i.e., how much land is needed for production of water, food, and energy, as well as for the disposal of waste from urban areas. Just as the footprint of cities is much larger than just the built ...
This assumption aligns with the understanding that natural gas, primarily methane, is a potent greenhouse gas with significant contributions to global warming, thereby impacting various ecological footprint components, such as carbon footprint, land use, and resource consumption (Malerba et al. 2024; ...
