in recent years, the debate over the environmental sustainability of agricultural productions is widely increased. in this context, environmental impacts of potato production by semi-mechanized method were studied in markazi province of iran. in this research, life cycle assessment approach was used to identify and reduce environmental impacts. the environmental impacts of potato production in ...

global warming is claimed to be the cause of climate change, which is often held responsible for water shortage.  let geopedology represents the complex process of soil formation, out of which much can be learnt about paleoecology; soil formation being a dynamic interaction between the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and the hydrosphere. in a multidisciplinary sustainability-oriented study ...

an abrupt global warming event has been recorded in many parts of the world in sediments of latest maastrichtian age between 65.45-65.10 ma. this warm event was documented here at a section near ziyarat-kola in central alborz based on analysis of planktonic foraminifera. an unusual abundance of normally large-size species such as globotruncana arca, globigerinelloides subcarinatus, pseudoguembe...

this study examined the environmental impacts of irrigated and rainfed barley agroecosystems of iran based on nitrogen levels by using lca methodology during 1999-2013. four steps includung goal definition and scoping, inventory analysis, life cycle impact assessment and integration & interpretation were considered. impact categories were acidification, eutrophication and global warming. functi...

transportation is an important part of modern community life as well as one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in urban communities, the population growth of which can increase transportation capacity. monorail systems are relatively new rail transportation systems which are currently being designed and constructed in different countries. we have applied the intergovernmental pa...

[1] This study examines the short‐term (∼15 year) effects of controlling fossil‐fuel soot (FS) (black carbon (BC), primary organic matter (POM), and S(IV) (H2SO4(aq), HSO4 , and SO4 )), solid‐biofuel soot and gases (BSG) (BC, POM, S(IV), K, Na, Ca, Mg, NH4 , NO3 , Cl and several dozen gases, including CO2 and CH4), and methane on global and Arctic temperatures, cloudiness, precipitation, and at...

since the mid-19 th century, human activities have increased greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the earth's atmosphere that resulted in increased average temperature. the effects of rising temperature include soil degradation, loss of productivity of agricultural land, desertification, loss of biodiversity, degradation of ecosystems, reduced fresh-water resou...
