Using chamber methods with and without plant removal treatments, we investigated WUE and evapotranspiration (ET) components in three ecosystems with different land-use types in Northern China pastoral-farming ecotone. In comparison, ET of the ecosystems with grazing exclusion and cultivating was 6.7 ...
Agricultural production capacity in Farming-pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (FPENC) has been limited to long-standing water shortage and drought. In thi... X Chen,L Jiang,G Zhang,... 被引量: 0发表: 2019年 Exploring regional land use dynamics under shared socioeconomic pathways: A case ...
The main purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency ratings of organic and conventional herbs and spices farms in the Egyptian delta. To do so, we use stochastic production frontier (SPF) analysis with a Cobb–Douglas stochastic frontier model as
Tanzania is a low-income country of East Africa characterized by relatively low agricultural productivity and a national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile dominated by the land use sector. Land use change (LUC) is the largest contributor to national GHG emissions, representing 66.0% of its es...
This represents a consistent undervaluing of the economic and ecological contributions of pastoral production, prompting agricultural expansion and fragmentation of rangelands. Land reforms and land-use policies are underpinned by particular narratives of efficiency and long-held assumptions of degradation ...

This article aims to summarize the main theories regarding the relationship between the efficiency of land use and the policies of capturing public value. The reference scenario is dictated by sustainable development policies that, if contextualized in the sphere of urban development, imply a rational...
Farmers’ natural capital refers to the natural resources available for farmers to utilize, including water sources, arable land, and other forms of land use [61]. Among these, the area of agricultural production is a key indicator of the scale of farmers’ production, providing basic security ...
groundwater overexploitation area; irrigation restriction; straw mulch; corn yield and quality; water use efficiency1. Introduction Groundwater irrigation is extensively employed in Chinese agriculture, particularly in the northern agricultural and pastoral regions. Due to the relative scarcity of surface ...
Production efficiency is a standard to evaluate the high-quality development of animal husbandry. As an important tool for herdsmen to collect and use information for animal husbandry production and innovation, the internet is not only an inner motivatio
