Assessing the contribution of NO x emissions to …

The faster decline of non-agricultural sources compared to agricultural sources has led to a consistent increase in the contribution of agricultural NO x emissions from 3.2% in 1990 to 5.9% in 2017 in Eastern , and from 3.8% in 1990 to 7.4% in 2017 in Western (figure 2 ). Figure 2.

Land | Free Full-Text | Impact of Sealing on Carbon …

The negative impacts of sealing are numerous, from withdrawing fertile from biomass production to modifying the microclimate and decreasing biodiversity. Many of the processes are interrelated and propagate further undesirable consequences from local to global levels. Three issues are especially important from the viewpoint of multiscale ecological cycles and consequent environmental ...

Past land use and erosion processes in central

The most remarkable phase of erosion occurred in the first half of 14th century, at the beginning of the Little Ice Age. The second well-known intense erosion phase occurred in the mid-18th to early 19th century—at the end of the Little Ice Age. Historical records document extreme precipitation events during these two phases ...
