The Transition to Bioeconomy

open access: yeswww.amfiteatrueconomic.ro, 2019
Developed and developing countries face social, economic and environmental challenges. These are the dimensions of sustainability, and the future of mankind depends on the transition from a linear economy towards bioeconomy. This shift represents a challenge for the EU itself due to several factors, such as the economic disparities between the Member ...

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Steaming soil is effective in eliminating invasive alien plants (IAPs) – part I: effect of exposure method

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2032-2039, April 2025.
As regulations on chemical pesticides become more stringent, it is likely that there will be interest in water steam as an alternative approach for soil disinfestation. This study investigated the feasibility of utilizing a soil steaming device for thermal control of selected invasive alien plants and showed a promising mortality rate for their ...

Indian and African monsoons: Trajectories and interactions

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The catch basin of marine air particles of the Indian monsoon is the tropical Indian ocean, whilst that of the African monsoon is the east tropical Atlantic. However, the oscillations induced by the monsoonal interactions favour particle exchange between the two basins. These transitions are abrupt in the presence of stochastic resonance. The monsoonal

Real‐Time Behavior Recognition Using a Legged Robot for Animal–Robot Interaction

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal–robot interaction is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamics between animals and robotic systems, as well as the design principles for effective engagement. While previous approaches have investigated animal responses to robotic stimuli, they have yet to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) for real‐time ...

Wall‐to‐wall Amazon forest height mapping with Planet NICFI, Aerial LiDAR, and a U‐Net regression model

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tree canopy height is a key indicator of forest biomass and structure, yet accurate mapping across the Amazon remains challenging. Here, we generated a canopy height map of the Amazon forest at ~4.8 m resolution using Planet NICFI imagery and a deep learning U‐Net model trained with airborne LiDAR data.

Exploring Farmers' Intentions to Mitigate Climate Change Through the Lens of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major challenge requiring farmers to adopt sustainable practices. As climate policies often depend on voluntary action, understanding what motivates farmers is essential. This study applies the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) to assess key factors influencing Hungarian farmers' intentions to mitigate climate change ...
