Journal ArticleDOI
Progress towards sustainable intensification in China challenged by land-use change
Lijun Zuo,Zengxiang Zhang,Kimberly M. Carlson,Graham K. MacDonald,Kate A. Brauman,Yingchun Liu,Wen Zhang,Huayong Zhang,Wenbin Wu,Xiaoli Zhao,Xiao Wang,Bin Liu,Ling Yi,Qingke Wen,Fang Liu,Jinyong Xu,Shunguang Hu,Feifei Sun,James S. Gerber,Paul C. West +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate spatio-temporal trade-offs among crop production and five key environmental indicators, including land use, water consumption, excess nitrogen and phosphorous use, and greenhouse gas emissions in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal focusing by spatio-temporal inverse filter. II. Experiments. Application to focusing through absorbing and reverberating media.
TL;DR: Experimental results obtained in various media, including intraplate echoes suppression and high-quality focusing through a human skull, as well as hyper-resolution in a reverberating medium, will be shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tradeoff frontier for global nitrogen use and cereal production
Nathaniel D. Mueller,Nathaniel D. Mueller,Paul C. West,James S. Gerber,Graham K. MacDonald,Stephen Polasky,Jonathan A. Foley +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a tradeoff frontier is constructed to estimate the minimum nitrogen fertilizer needed to produce a range of maize, wheat, and rice production levels, and potential environmental consequences are explored by calculating excess nitrogen along the frontier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatially explicit estimates of N2O emissions from croplands suggest climate mitigation opportunities from improved fertilizer management
James S. Gerber,Kimberly M. Carlson,David Makowski,Nathaniel D. Mueller,Iñaki García de Cortázar-Atauri,Petr Havlik,Mario Herrero,Marie Launay,Christine S. O’Connell,Pete Smith,Paul C. West +10 more
TL;DR: This work applies a super-linear emissions response model to crop-specific, spatially explicit synthetic N fertilizer and manure N inputs to provide subnational accounting of global N2 O emissions from croplands, and estimates high-resolution N application data are critical to support accurate N 2 O emissions estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vulnerabilities of agricultural land and food production to future water scarcity
Nuala Fitton,Peter Alexander,Nigel W. Arnell,B. Bajzelj,Katherine Calvin,Jonathan C. Doelman,James S. Gerber,Petr Havlik,Tomoko Hasegawa,Mario Herrero,Tamás Krisztin,H. van Meijl,Tom Powell,Ronald D. Sands,Elke Stehfest,Paul C. West,Pete Smith +16 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential trends, risks and uncertainties to land use and land availability that may arise from reductions in water availability are examined using multi-model studies, and the impacts of different policy interventions on pressures from emerging risks are examined.
