It comprises about 70-90% of the body or even more on a fresh weight basis, although only a small fraction of the water absorbed is utilized. Most of the absorbed water in plants is lost throughtranspirationand only about 1 percent or less is used in the various biochemical processes (Dev...
The present research critically evaluates the strategic importance of green water (soil water originating from rainfall) in relation to international commodity trade. Besides having a lower opportunity cost, the use of green water for the production of crops has generally less negative environmental ...
First the periods of drought from the 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected cropproduction and used up the surface and ground water supplies. Second, attention was calledto rapid increases in the rates of pollution of these waters resulting from increased urban andindustrial growth. As a result...
Global consumptive water use for crop production: The importance of green water and virtual water Over the last 4 decades the use of blue water has received increasing attention in water resources research, but little attention has been paid to the quan... Liu,JG,Zehnder,... - 《Water Resou...
The role and function of natural organic material (NOM) for the terrestrial and aquatic environment is strongly related to nutrient availability for plants, relevant for crop production, as well as to be a source of energy for macro- and microorganisms, to influence physico-chemical conditions of...
Crop varieties and management practices such as planting and harvest dates, irrigation, and fertilization have important effects on the water and carbon fluxes over croplands, and lack or inaccuracy of this information may cause large uncertainties in hydraulic and carbon modeling. Yet the magnitude of...

An increase in food production in Europe could dramatically affect farmland biodiversity Article Open access 02 September 2021 Introduction Plant genetic resources (PGR) are the foundation for crop improvement and global food security1. The genetic diversity of crop plants has been maintained by farmin...
To respond to these opportunities and risks, it is better to reduce the proportion of the primary industry appropriately, improve the efficiency of water use and strengthen the supervision of water resources utilization, especially in the industrial and urban planning as well as ecological engineering...
根据第三段中的“In drought-stricken areas, this technology has the potential to increase crop yields, improve food security, save enormous amounts of water and reduce energy consumption.(在干旱地区,这项技术有可能提高作物产量,改善粮食安全,节省大量的水和减少能源消耗)”可知,作者评价说这项技术有利于...
