Agricultural sustainability in the semi-arid Near East [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2007
Agriculture began in the eastern Mediterranean Levantine Corridor about 11000 years ago toward the end of the Younger Dryas when aridity had diminished wild food resources.

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Recovery After Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades: Implications for Biomonitoring

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the past decade, major upgrades have been made to the Kitchener and Waterloo wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River watershed in Ontario, Canada. As part of efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of these investments (>$450 M CDN), a benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) monitoring program was initiated by sampling upstream and

Composition characteristics and metal binding capacity of dissolved organic matter in the agriculture‐dominated Tuhai River

River, EarlyView.
Abstract An essential part of river ecosystems, dissolved organic matter (DOM) has an enormous effect on the transport and variability of heavy metals. Nonetheless, our understanding of how the DOM affects heavy metal behavior in agricultural rivers remains limited. In this research, the DOM characteristics and effects on heavy metals (Cu2+, Zn2+, and

Extreme Weather Events and Agricultural Total Factor Productivity Growth

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity of the agricultural sector is crucial for food security in a changing climate. This study estimates the impacts of extreme weather events on agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of climate change on agriculture.

Heat stress in tropical highland regions: the case of Kenya during February 2024

Weather, EarlyView.
Understanding and awareness about heat stress remain low in sub‐Saharan countries despite high exposure and vulnerability. After the national media in Kenya reported that people had complained about unusual heat stress during February 2024, we combine in situ and reanalysis data to (i) put this event into climatological perspective, and (ii) give ...

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...
