Phosphorus as a limiting factor on sustainable greywater irrigation.
Water reuse through greywater irrigation has been adopted worldwide and has been proposed as a potential sustainable solution to increased water demands. Despite widespread adoption, there is limited domestic knowledge of greywater reuse. There is no pressure to produce low-level phosphorus products and current guidelines and legislation, such as those in Australia, may be inadequate due to the...
متن کاملPhosphorus: a limiting nutrient for humanity?
Phosphorus is a chemical element that is essential to life because of its role in numerous key molecules, including DNA and RNA; indeed, organisms require large amounts of P to grow rapidly. However, the supply of P from the environment is often limiting to production, including to crops. Thus, large amounts of P are mined annually to produce fertilizer that is applied in support of the 'Green ...
متن کاملVisualizing Alternative Phosphorus Scenarios for Future Food Security
The impact of global phosphorus scarcity on food security has increasingly been the focus of scientific studies over the past decade. However, systematic analyses of alternative futures for phosphorus supply and demand throughout the food system are still rare and provide limited inclusion of key stakeholders. Addressing global phosphorus scarcity requires an integrated approach exploring poten...
متن کاملLimiting Properties of Empirical Bayes Estimators in a Two-Factor Experiment under Inverse Gaussian Model
The empirical Bayes estimators of treatment effects in a factorial experiment were derived and their asymptotic properties were explored. It was shown that they were asymptotically optimal and the estimator of the scale parameter had a limiting gamma distribution while the estimators of the factor effects had a limiting multivariate normal distribution. A Bootstrap analysis was performed to ill...
متن کاملFuture Food Animal Production Efficiency and Acceptability
Introduction What is the impact of food animal production in the world? What role does it play in human activity, who benefits from it, who pays costs associated with it and how should it proceed in the future? The majority of this account concerns the relationships between efforts to improve animal production efficiency and acceptability of aspects of the systems which have been developed. How...
