Jiang |Soil moisture (SM) and groundwater (GW) depletion triggered by anthropogenic and natural climate change are influencing food security via crop production per capita decrease in the Nile River Basin (NRB). However, to the best of our understandin[...]Article
Effective agricultural water management requires accurate and timely identification of crop water stress at the farm-scale for irrigation advisories or to allocate the optimal amount of water for irrigation. Various drought indices are being uti[...]Article
Decision-making processes to ensure sustainability of complex agro-ecosystems must simultaneously accommodate production goals, environmental soundness, and social relevancy. This means that besides environmental indicators and human activities,[...]Article
Climate change threatens agricultural production and leads to an increasing contradiction between food supply and needs. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural activities will exacerbate climate change in the future. Solving food secur[...]Article
The latest world atlas of desertification represents a turning point in the diagnosis of desertification. While it forgoes desertification mapping due to the intrinsic complexity of the phenomenon and the impossibility of measuring it using a si[...]Article
This study proposes a novel agri-environmental payment scheme aimed at saving irrigation water. The design incorporates an outcomes-based reward system, ensuring effective savings of water volumes in on-farm uses. A choice experiment (CE) was co[...]Article
