Journal ArticleDOI
Losses, inefficiencies and waste in the global food system.
Peter Alexander,Peter Alexander,Calum Brown,Almut Arneth,John Finnigan,Dominic Moran,Dominic Moran,Mark Rounsevell,Mark Rounsevell +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that influencing consumer behaviour, e.g. to eat less animal products, or to reduce per capita consumption closer to nutrient requirements, offer substantial potential to improve food security for the rising global population in a sustainable manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence structure above a vegetation canopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the turbulence statistics of the canopy/roughness sublayer and the inertial sublayer (ISL) above, and propose a phenomenological model to explain both the structure of the characteristic eddy and the key differences between turbulence in the canopy and the ISL.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple unified theory for flow in the canopy and roughness sublayer
Ian N. Harman,John Finnigan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the flow profile that is comprised of a canopy model coupled to a modified surface-layer model is presented, where the coupling between the two components and the modifications to the surface layer profiles are formulated through the mixing layer analogy for flow at a canopy top.
Journal ArticleDOI
Could consumption of insects, cultured meat or imitation meat reduce global agricultural land use?
Peter Alexander,Peter Alexander,Calum Brown,Almut Arneth,Clare Dias,John Finnigan,Dominic Moran,Dominic Moran,Mark Rounsevell +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential change in global agricultural land requirements associated with each alternative and conclude that a diet with lower rates of animal product consumption is likely to create the greatest reduction in agricultural land, a mix of smaller changes in consumer behaviour, such as replacing beef with chicken, reducing food waste and potentially introducing insects more commonly into diets, would also achieve land savings and a more sustainable food system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of wave-turbulence interactions in the stable atmospheric boundary layer
Jielun Sun,Carmen J. Nappo,Larry Mahrt,Danijel Belušić,Branko Grisogono,David R. Stauffer,Manuel Pulido,Chantal Staquet,Qingfang Jiang,Annick Pouquet,Carlos Yagüe,Boris Galperin,Ronald B. Smith,John Finnigan,Shane D. Mayor,Gunilla Svensson,Andrey A. Grachev,William Neff +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of wave-turbulence interactions in stable atmospheric boundary layer (SABL) flows is presented, focusing on the nocturnal SABL.
