The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency and severity drought over arable lands Romania using Normalized Difference Drought Index (NDDI). This index obtained from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-Radiometer (MODIS) sensor Terra satellite. interval between March September investigated occurrence early stage crop growth its harvest time. covered a long period (2001–2020), hence it i...

Rapid urban land expansion and the resulting arable land loss have put food security in China at risk. This paper investigates the characteristics and mechanism of arable land conversion in Beijing using a logistic model based on land-use data for 2001 and 2010. The results suggest that (1) arable land conversion tends to occur near built-up areas, city centers and major roads; (2) arable land ...

in the traditional systems of irrigation and exploitation of water sources, especially the water sources behind dams, there isn't regular and consistent plan for their management and this can be caused the weakness of irrigation performance. in this connection, using both of optimization methods and geospatioal information system (gis) together can improve the performance of irrigation pro...

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient that performs a remarkable array of functions in plants including photosynthesis, cell wall remodeling, flowering, and seed set. Of the world's major cereal crops, wheat, barley, and oat are the most sensitive to Cu deficiency. Cu deficient soils include alkaline soils, which occupy approximately 30% of the world's arable lands, and organic soils that o...

Weeds in agricultural landscapes can serve as alternate hosts for phytopathogenic fungi and promote the spatial long-term distribution of these fungi. Especially, semi-natural habitats such kettle holes are considered a source fungal pathogens because they permanent habitat various weed species arable lands. In our study, we investigated suitability nine different families at edges 18 two conse...

The appropriate concept of land use planning is required since the lands have opportunity to be developed for agricultural purposes. Gunung Mas regency with total areas 1,084,012 hectares mainly covered by forest various slope classes. objective study was allocate utilized based on its capabilities and suitability food plantation crops. Land evaluation approach implemented provide especially cr...

The fallow agricultural soils of Northwest Russia represent an evolutionary model the development ecosystem components in time and space with multidirectional dynamics agrogenic impact during long history land development. There has been both large-scale uncontrolled conversion arable lands to a state along their removal recent times. All this led formation chrono-series different-age varying d...

This summarizes current status coordination among croplands, ecosystem protection, urban expansion region provides suggestions for rational use conservation arable land resources. research methods include ArcGis spatial analysis PLUS model. results show that: (1) area Province has...

Globalization, as described by Joseph Stiglitz in his books Globalization and its Discontents Making Work, draws on both pains gains. These two seemingly incompatible positions, where globalization is used a platform to partner or collaborate with other countries grabbing lands for sustainable developmental initiatives such the attainment of SDG 2, but ends up dispossessing host communities the...
