Article
Global scenario-based modelling efforts to support biodiversity policies typically consider agriculture only as a pressure factor. Current scenarios typically include the expansion of protected areas combined with higher agricultural productivit[...]Article
Recent econometric work suggests that there is a positive link between the development of land rental markets and the migration of workers out of agriculture in the developing world. I investigate this claim using a two-sector model of structura[...]Article
J.A. Martínez-López ; R. López-Urrea ; A. Martínez-Romero ; J.J. Pardo ; J. Montero ; A. Domínguez |Scarcity of water resources is one of the main constraints on agricultural activity in arid and semi-arid areas. Despite the great technological development over recent decades, farmers are demanding methodologies and tools adapted to their trai[...]Article

Fumagalli |Regional-to-global studies of hydrology, water availability and water use, and their interaction with agricultural production and food security require accurate information on the location and extent of irrigated croplands. In this study, we der[...]Article
J. Wang ; M. Bretz ; M.A.A. Dewan ; M.A. Delavar |Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) are of importance in natural resource management, environmental modelling and assessment, and agricultural production management. However, LULCC detection and modelling is a complex, data-driven process in [...]Article
M.S. Kivi ; B. Blakely ; M. Masters ; C.J. Bernacchi ; F.E. Miguez ; H. Dokoohaki |As we face today's large-scale agricultural issues, the need for robust methods of agricultural forecasting has never been clearer. Yet, the accuracy and precision of our forecasts remains limited by current tools and methods. To overcome the li[...]Article
Accurate information about the irrigated surface is essential to help assess the impact of irrigation on water consumption, the hydrological cycle and regional climate. In this study, we compare recently developed operational and spatially trans[...]Article
CONTEXT Agricultural systems are generally characterised by many dependent variables that represent their management practices and performances. Parametric approaches are usually used to explore data collected from farms and relations among vari[...]Article
The main type of consumptive water use is crop evapotranspiration. The historical evolution of crop evapotranspiration depends on climate and cropland changes. These two latter variables present complex interactions and are expected to continue [...]Article

Schulte |CONTEXT - Well-managed agricultural land can provide ecosystem services and contribute positively to the environment. Many of these services are mediated through the soil and are referred to as soil functions. Regenerative agriculture is a mode [...]Article
A. Lyra ; A. Loukas ; P. Sidiropoulos ; K. Voudouris ; N. Mylopoulos |The scope of this study is to assess the effects of agronomic and water resources management scenarios on groundwater balance, seawater intrusion, and nitrate pollution and the comparison of the developed scenarios relative to the current crop p[...]Article
