European Union; agricultural land; brownfields; buildings; case studies; cities; climate; climate change; ecosystems; floods; food production; food safety; heat; hydroponics; infrastructure; land use; models; quality of life; soil; urbanization
Abstract:
... The tissue of cities is getting increasingly dense and compact, however, according to the current development models, the demand for living space per person, for industrial and commercial activities, for the transport infrastructure, requires more and more land, often to the detriment of agricultural fields, that surround cities. The occupation of agricultural lands has significant impact on the r ...

Abstract:
... The oppressive histories of slavery, sharecropping, and discriminatory lending practices contribute to a modern American agricultural landscape where black farmers are underrepresented. While African Americans once made up 14% of the United States’ farmer population, today they only make up 1.4%. Moreover, the American farmer population overall is aging, and currently only 6% of farmers are under ...

Abstract:
... El Penedès is a traditional viticulture area, and this activity has been essential to the region's economic development and the construction of its identity. Throughout the last three centuries, family and subsistence farming became a market‐oriented economy, characterized by significant mechanization, grape monocultures, and dependence on chemical inputs. Small‐scale agriculture therefore shifted ...

As a consequence, the use of remedial biomanipulations to induce trophic cascades and shift a turbid lake to a clear state is often only a temporary solution. Here we show the instability of short‐term manipulations in the ...

Abstract:
... Soil organic C (SOC) and soil moisture (SM) affect the agricultural productivity of soils. For sustainable food production, knowledge of the horizontal as well as vertical variability of SOC and SM at field scale is crucial. Machine learning models using depth‐related data from multiple electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors and a gamma‐ray spectrometer can provide insights into this variability ...
