River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The presumptive standards approach to environmental flows offers a method to develop interim guidelines for ecological and social‐cultural flow needs. The approach is based on deriving acceptable percent‐of‐flow limits based on naturalised flows (the absence of depletion or alteration of flow), and it can be an effective precursor to a full ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) application creates negative externalities via nitrate (NO3−) leaching that threatens human health and the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas. This study determines socially optimal nitrogen application rates (SONR) for corn and wheat by considering the social costs of both pollutants. The assessment includes
