TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the energy cost of the Spanish agri-food (AFS) system in the year 2000 with a view to ascertaining the relative importance of each link in the agrifood chain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and modeled soil erosion rates in olive orchards over a 250-year period, and relating these to changes in management practices and yield, as documented from historical sources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodological manual to estimate the net primary productivity (NPP) of historical and contemporary cropland, in terms of fresh and dry matter, and gross energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the energy embodied in agricultural inputs from a historical perspective, based on a wide literature review, which has been complemented with own estimations in order to create a coherent database including all direct and indirect energy associated to the main agricultural inputs with the maximum possible level of disaggregation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the radium equivalent activity and absorbed dose rate to assess the soil erosion magnitude in a close orchard field using the 137C background and found that 90% of the 137Cs content was concentrated in the top 20 cm and physicochemical parameters confirmed the undisturbed status of the site.
