Using remote sensing to assess impacts of land management policies in the Ordos rangelands in China
Implementation of land management policies influences land use and hence
causes environmental change. Taking the Ordos rangelands in China as a case
study, this paper explores the potential of remote sensing to assess in ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Targeting perennial vegetation in agricultural landscapes for enhancing ecosystem services
Over the past century, agricultural landscapes worldwide have increasingly been managed for the primary purpose of
producing food, while other diverse ecosystem services potentially available from these landscapes have ...
Implementing the strategy for the conservation through use of underutilised crops in the Pacific
The Pacific region, home to an estimated 9.5 million people, is geographically, ecologically, sociologically and economically diverse. The region also faces numerous social and physical challenges simply by nature of the ...
Mapping deciduous rubber plantations through integration of PALSAR and multi-temporal Landsat imagery
Due to increasing global demand for natural rubber products, rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation expansion
has occurred in many regions where it was originally considered unsuitable. However, accurate maps
of rubber ...
Development of two species-specific primer sets to detect the cereal cyst nematodes Heterodera avenae and Heterodera filipjevi
Twelve Heterodera species are of major economic significance in wheat and barley. Of these, H. avenae, H. filipjevi and H. latipons are among the most important ones, and sometimes coexist. The identification of Heterodera ...
