The link between the normalized difference vegetation index in major crops and meteorological factors

Agrology
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is frequently used in monitoring of meteorological events. The goal of this study was to establish the relationship between the spatial NDVI with air temperature and precipitation amounts in major crops ...

Properties of peat and other organic soils from temperate European climates: Part I – Physical and chemical characteristics

Geoderma
The chemical and physical properties of peat and other organic soils are key factors controlling hydrological and biogeochemical processes. These properties are highly variable and depend on the botanical composition of the peat-forming species, the ...

Climate-Smart Agriculture and Non-Agricultural Livelihood Transformation [PDF]

Climate, 2019
Agricultural researchers have developed a number of agricultural technologies and practices, known collectively as climate-smart agriculture (CSA), as part of climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. Development practitioners invest in scaling these to have a wider impact.

ECONOMIC MODELING OF CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE IN IRAN [PDF]

New Medit, 2019
Global warming is the immediate consequence of increased greenhouse gasses emission. Agriculture is a significant source in terms of greenhouse gasses emission and on the other hand, the main sector in terms of producing food. As global food demand grows, the share of agriculture in the total greenhouse gasses emission will rise too.

Hydrogen (H2) Recovery From Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): Current Technologies, Challenges, and Future Outlook

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be transformed into hydrogen (H2) through several chemical and catalytic processes, offering a promising route for both waste treatment and clean H2 production. This colorless, flammable, and toxic gas is found abundantly in swamps, volcanoes, hot springs, sewages, other natural gas fields, and even in refineries and

No detectable elevated soil carbon under organic farming in German croplands − results from two soil surveys

Geoderma
Organic farming contributes to multiple environmental targets in agriculture. Long-term field experiments found that organic farming cropland not only emit lower greenhouse gas emissions but can also increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks relative to ...

The relevance of political ecology perspectives for smallholder Climate-Smart Agriculture: a review

Journal of Political Ecology, 2017
Climate-smart agriculture has emerged as a way of increasing food productivity, building resiliency to climate change and reducing carbon emissions. Despite rapid technical advances, research on climate-smart agriculture has arguably under-theorized the ...

N2 and N2O mitigation potential of replacing maize with the perennial biomass crop Silphium perfoliatum—An incubation study

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Sustainability of biogas production is strongly dependent on soil‐borne greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during feedstock cultivation. Maize (Zea mays) is the most common feedstock for biogas production in Europe.

Gender differences in climate-smart adaptation practices amongst bean-producing farmers in Malawi: The case of Linthipe Extension Planning Area

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
Agriculture is amongst the vulnerable sectors to climate change and its associated impacts. Most women are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change than men. Climate Smart Agriculture ensures increased productivity thereby enabling food security,
