Abstract:
... Growing demands for water, energy, and food put many systems at a composite risk of resource shortages. There was a lack of approaches capable of effectively assessing tridimensional composite risk and describing non-linear correlations among subsystem risks within a Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus system. In this study, an integrated approach was developed to assess the composite risk of WEF nexus ...

Abstract:
... Over the past decade, citrus production has sharply decreased in Florida because of citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB), a disease that reduces fruit yield and quality and eventually kills the citrus trees. With the increased mortality and need to resetting trees, the demand for healthy trees from citrus nurseries has risen drastically in the last few years. To meet the demand and accelerate tr ...
