The article considers the spectral response of post-agrogenic landscapes in forest-steppe zone based on Sentinel-2 data. study was carried out territory Central Chernozem region. type forest that forms abandoned agricultural land has a statistically significant effect most bands. reflectance lands with deciduous and coniferous species is significantly different mixed forests does not differ fro...

The European Green Deal sets targets for biodiversity, climate change, sustainable farming, and rural development. For abandoned agricultural lands to contribute these goals, specific policy measures support appropriate land management are required. However, information is lacking on what policies will mean landowners managers. This paper reviews the role of in Union (EU) linked Deal. We interv...

Soil salinity is a serious threat to coastal agriculture and has resulted in significant reduction agricultural output many regions. Jaffna Peninsula, semi-arid region located the northern-most part of Sri Lanka, also victim adverse effects salinity. This study investigated long-term soil changes their link with land use changes, especially paddy land. Two Landsat images from 1988 2019 were use...

Afforestation of abandoned agricultural lands contributes significantly to carbon sequestration. The aim the research is study growth dynamics pine forests on farmlands. average biometric parameters model trees indicate that young stands in area are approaching 20th age. Significant relationships were revealed between morphological parameters, which shows sustainability dynamics. Carbon sequest...

abstract: in this study, al 2 o 3 /eg and tio 2 /eg nanofluids as coolants have been used in the double-tube heat exchanger. the hot solvent inlet heat exchanger must be cooled down with a specified amount. we can use nanofluids as coolants in the heat exchanger for optimization of the heat transfer area. therefore, the efficacy of nanofluids as coolants is verified. furthermore, flow rate of c...

Landscape in the southern United States changed dramatically during the 1930s and the following decades when massive agricultural and abandoned logging lands were converted to forest lands through natural restoration and silviculture. The impacts of this forest restoration on hydrology were investigated in this study by conducting numerical experiments with a regional climate model. Climatic an...

Forest succession on degraded tropical lands often is slowed by impoverished seed banks and low rates of seed dispersal. Within degraded landscapes, remnant forests are potential seed sources that could enhance nearby forest succession. The spatial extent that forest can influence succession, however, remains largely unstudied. In abandoned agricultural lands in Kibale National Park, Uganda, re...

Agricultural crops take up water, but not salt, and evaporation from irrigated land does likewise. The result is increasing salt levels in soils. Just as cities cannot ignore urban wastewater collection and treatment, irrigating farmers and irrigation districts cannot ignore what to do with the salt in agricultural drainage water. Although salt management techniques can seem straightforward, th...
