Since 2007, the yield of barley has been on average 376 kg ha higher than that of oats (VCU data). In FD, the yield advantage of barley was evident 10 years earlier (starting from 1997). In the VCU data, there were few major differences in the yield potentials of oats and barley ...
This study reports that varied rainfall and climate are major driving factors of ES-HQ sustainability disturbance in the study area. Furthermore, our proposed conservation Strategy 2 demonstrates that a larger extent of landscape multi-functionality can be sustained when the existing conservation area ...
This was also linked to previous experience of major risk from wildfires. The paper concludes by discussing prospects for developing co-management for reducing the impact of climate change across multiple groups in rural and peri-urban areas. Keywords: climate change; adaptation; mitigation; wildfires...
Recently, the situation of water security in the most populous and rapidly developing regions, especially the megacities of Asia, is worsening because of major challenges such as overexploitation of groundwater, skewed water supply and demand due to population explosion and the negative impacts of ...
They are also concerned about the control over the food system gained by the major players in the seed sector [1–4]. In addition, over the past decades, trends in the evolution of the seed sector have been raising concerns for two main reasons: (i) corporate consolidation resulting in a...
Furthermore, the IDF curves for short durations of precipitation are constructed for the historical climate and future climates under two representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, based on terms of correlation factors. The major findings show that the projected ...

Due to the arid and semiarid climate, water shortages are a major factor limiting the sustainable development of the socioeconomic and ecological environment in the region [44,45]. Recently, the grassland degradation trend in the Heihe River Basin has been obvious, and the ecological damage is ...
29 Stowers continues with an instructive comparison of the major rituals of Pauline Christianity with Graeco-Roman sacrificial ritual. Although prayer was a fundamental element of the latter, it involved no teaching, no narrative, no "interpretation of the soul of or texts." In contrast, "in ...
Such cantilever beam is subsequently loaded in bending and tested until failure, providing a measure of the elastic modulus and the flexural strength of the tested microvolume. A major drawback of this approach is the fact that specimen preparation is very time consuming, soMaarteerliaaltsi2v0...
