Intercropping Practices in Mediterranean Mandarin Orchards from an Environmental and Economic Perspective

چکیده
Crop diversification is becoming increasingly important for preserving soil and ecosystems’ health and, subsequently, crop productivity sustainability. Intercropping practices adopted in monocultural woody crops, with herbaceous crops covering the otherwise bare alleyways, foster ecological interactions can provide both environmental economic advantages. In this study, intercropping were implemented a traditional mandarin orchard south-eastern Spain, which was monitored three years to assess their impact on footprint profitability. The quantified cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA), while costs revenues based materials, labor, machinery used trial. calculated LCA indicators evidenced that, although cultivated surface area increases integration of intercrops (fava bean, purslane, cowpea, barley/vetch mix), does not imply any additional detrimental effects (resource depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming). analysis showed that may involve production costs, correct choice intercrops, fava case, reduce market risks farmers. Overall, study shows positive impacts are be expected co-integrated within same field as trees.

15 صفحه اولNeuroeconomics: an overview from an economic perspective.
Until now, economic theory has not systematically integrated the influence of emotions on decision-making. Since evidence from neuroscience suggests that decision-making as hypothesized in economic theory depends on prior emotional processing, interdisciplinary research under the label of "neuroeconomics" arose. The key idea of this approach is to employ recent neuroscientific methods in order ...
