Resource-use efficiency and plant invasion in low-resource systems
Nature, 2007No species can maximize growth, reproduction and competitive ability across all environments, so the success of invasive species is habitat-dependent. Nutrient-rich habitats often experience more invasion than resource-poor habitats, a pattern consistent with traits generally associated with successful invaders (high growth rates, early reproduction ...

Assessing resource-use efficiency of land use
Environmental Modelling & Software, 2018Abstract We introduce an explicit indicator and the Land Use Management Support System to assess the resource-use efficiency of land use (RUE) at the landscape scale. To estimate RUE, we relate land-use performance with regard to ecosystem services indicators to the maximum possible land-use performance based on an optimised land-use configuration ...

Responsible waste management: using resources efficiently (Part 2)
British Dental Journal, 2023This chapter aims to describe the types of waste produced in dental practice, the costs associated with disposal of this waste, and the impact that the disposal method has on the environment and on human health. It discusses the waste hierarchy and explores how dental surgeries can reduce their waste generation through simple changes in practice.

Resource-use efficiency drives overyielding via enhanced complementarity
Oecologia, 2020Overyielding, the primary metric for assessing biodiversity effects on ecosystem functions, is often partitioned into "complementarity" and "selection" components, but this reveals nothing about the role of increased resource use, resource-use efficiency, or trait plasticity.

Efficient use of agricultural land resources
Экономика и предпринимательство, 2021Повышение экономической эффективности использования земельных ресурсов является основным элементом, оказывающим решающее влияние на результат общественного производства. Но засоление, эрозия и опустынивание приводят к серьезной деградации земель, что, в свою очередь, ухудшает здоровье человека и экосистемные услуги.

Precision Farming for Resource Use Efficiency
2020Globally, agriculture remains one of the primary occupations of citizens supporting more than one-third of the human population. Only 17% of global agricultural land is irrigated that produces 40% of food resources. Several factors threaten the agricultural production systems all over the world.

Hospital Management: Efficient Use of Resources
1987This chapter discusses the importance of advanced planning when one of the patients of the practice is admitted to the hospital. Time, patient education, and treatment protocols are important considerations. Patient charges by the physician while in the hospital should be properly coded and are the responsibility of the physician per se.

Resource Use Efficiency in Indian Agriculture
2006The term ‘resource use efficiency in agriculture’ may be broadly defined to include the concepts of technical efficiency, allocative efficiency and environmental efficiency. An efficient farmer allocates his land, labour, water and other resources in an optimal manner, so as to maximise his income, at least cost, on sustainable basis.
