Modeling a localized metropolitan food system in the Midwest …
2023年3月20日 · A life cycle assessment approach was used to quantify environmental impacts (GWP, fossil energy and water consumption, land use); scenarios modeled provision and consumption of 50 % of nutritional requirements for the current DM-MSA population by food group (e.g., grains, proteins, vegetables).
Water Cycle | Journal | ScienceDirect.com by Elsevier
Water Cycle is an interdisciplinary open access journal that publishes top-tier original research in all areas of water cycles, including meta-cycles. It examines their relationship to science, technology, society, economics, health, culture, policy, regulation and strategy.
Melamine – A PMT/vPvM substance as a generic indicator for ...
Melamine is a compound with chronic toxicity, a very high production volume, and manifold sources that find their way into the environment. Due to its PMT/vPvM behaviour, it can spread rapidly through the water cycle and potentially threaten drinking water production (Hale et …
Ecological network analysis for urban physical-virtual water cycle: …
We constructed an urban physical-virtual water cycle (PVWC) network model to investigate water cycle resilience through structural and functional analysis based on ecological network analysis (ENA).
Coupled models of water and carbon cycles from leaf to global: A ...
2024年11月15日 · These three models developed over three decades ago have been widely adopted in the studies of water and carbon cycle from leaf to global scales. The success of these models lie in their sound representation of the basic biophysical and biochemical processes with relative simplicity.
Water cycle evolution in the Haihe River Basin and its relationship ...
2024年2月1日 · This study aimed to investigate the water cycle status and its evolution from the perspective of landscape patterns. A water cycle intensity (WCI) evaluation model based on the landscape index was developed.
Recycling the rain: Exploring forest management practices in a …
2024年12月1日 · As a result, decision-making processes in the watershed must address complex considerations, including defining clear objectives for forest management to the water cycle and, in scenarios with resultingly increased water yield, who will have access to the water, and how these decisions will be made.
The characteristics and changes of the natural social binary water ...
2024年12月1日 · The water cycle process includes intra basin circulation, as well as water exchange with the outside region through atmospheric circulation, runoff, and groundwater. The above water cycle elements and processes together …
Fate of persistent and mobile chemicals in the water cycle: From ...
2024年11月15日 · Persistent and mobile (PM) chemicals are considered detrimental for drinking water resources as they may pass through all barriers protecting these resources against pollution. However, knowledge on the occurrence of PM chemicals in the water cycle, that make their way into drinking water resources, is still limited.
Evaporation from dams governing the water cycle dynamics of a …
2024年8月1日 · The present study aims to understand i) the seasonal and temporal variations in isotopic signatures, ii) the interaction between groundwater, river water, and rainwater in the catchment, iii) the effect of elevation on isotopic signatures, and finally, iv) address the impact of damming on the water cycle process in the catchment.
