Carbon dioxide emissions from global land cover mapping are projected to increase by 2050

Communications Earth & Environment
Global land cover mapping is essential for environmental monitoring and earth system modeling, but the high production costs lead to considerable carbon dioxide emissions that are rarely considered.

Automatic Detection of Maize Tassels from UAV Images by Combining Random Forest Classifier and VGG16

Remote Sensing, 2020
The tassel development status and its branch number in maize flowering stage are the key phenotypic traits to determine the growth process, pollen quantity of different maize varieties, and detasseling arrangement for seed maize production fields.

Results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model for the 2010 Agricultural Real Estate Assessment [PDF]

This report summarizes the 2010 results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model. The model is used annually to estimate average land values by county, based on the value of production from cropland and non-cropland. The county land values developed from

Evolutionary Assembly and Future Design of Gibberellin Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gibberellin (GA) signaling is widely regarded as a canonical hormone‐controlled growth pathway, yet accumulating evidence suggests that it emerged through stepwise evolutionary assembly rather than as a pre‐formed regulatory system. Here, we revisit the origin and diversification of the GA pathway from an evolutionary perspective.

Thin Reinforced Sulfonated Poly(phenylene sulfone) Membranes for Durable Water Electrolysis: Suppressed Swelling and Enhanced Stability Over 2000 Hours

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrocarbon membranes have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of water electrolyzers. However, their application is often limited by insufficient stability resulting from excessive swelling. This work presents a strategy to achieve efficient, safe and stable operation of a 24 µm thin hydrocarbon membrane by combining a modified ...

Evaluation of the Pollen Production Potential of Local Honeybee Races in Waghimra, Ethiopia

International Journal on Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources
Bee pollen is an essential protein source for honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies and a valuable nutritionally rich product for human consumption. This study evaluated the pollen production potential of local honeybee races and examined the effects of ...

Designing Cost‐Effective Carbon Payments to Induce Cellulosic Feedstock Production for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial bioenergy crops, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, and crop residues have the potential to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and mitigate carbon emissions. However, high establishment costs, delayed returns, and risk–return profiles that diverge from those of conventional crops can hinder incentives to adopt ...

Hobby Farms and Protection of Farmland in British Columbia [PDF]

Agricultural land protection near the urban-rural fringe is a goal of many jurisdictions, and none more so than British Columbia, Canada, which uses a provincial-wide zoning scheme to prevent subdivisions and non-agricultural uses of the land.
