TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the role of agriculture and fishing in the European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and show that agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure.Abstract:
Agriculture and fishing are the primary source of almost all our food, as well as of many other products, so remain vital activities even though their share in the economy is small and in continuous decline. Partly for this reason public policy in these areas is almost entirely integrated at European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Forestry policies are also heavily affected by EU-level decision-making. As agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure, it is agriculture that will receive the greatest attention here.read more

Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part II : Verification of the source term and analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion
TL;DR: The analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion and deposition suggests that the present distribution of a large amount of (137)Cs deposition in eastern Japan was produced primarily by four events that occurred on March 12, 15-16, 20, and 21-23.

Phosphorus flows and balances of the European Union Member States.
TL;DR: Although wide-ranging variation between countries, generally phosphorus use in EU-27 was characterized by relatively large dependency on (primary) imports, long-term accumulation in agricultural soils, especially in west European countries, providing ample opportunities for improvement.

Rights-based fisheries governance: from fishing rights to human rights
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that more secure, less vulnerable fishers make more effective and motivated fishery managers in the context of participatory or rights-based fisheries governance, and further suggest that insecurity among fishers living in poverty can be most effectively addressed by social and political development that invokes the existing legal framework supporting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A high incidence of species substitution and mislabelling detected in meat products sold in South Africa
TL;DR: Overall, this study confirmed that the mislabelling of processed meats is commonplace in South Africa and not only violates food labelling regulations, but also poses economic, religious, ethical and health impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of multiple-species 1km×1km resolution hourly basis emissions inventory for Japan
TL;DR: In this article, a new atmospheric emissions inventory, called "EAGrid2000-Japan" was developed to provide reliable fundamental data for studies of the long-range transport of air pollution in the East Asia region, specifically targeting Japan, in the year 2000.

Terrain analysis : principles and applications
John Wilson,John Gallant +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a digital elevation model and representation of the terrain shape based on topographic attributes, including primary and secondary topographical attributes, to estimate the soil organic carbon.

Critical analysis of root : shoot ratios in terrestrial biomes
TL;DR: In this paper, the root:shoot ratio is used to estimate root biomass from the more easily measured shoot biomass, which has become a core descriptor of the relationship between root and shoot biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
NaCl-induced senescence in leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L) cultivars differing in salinity resistance
TL;DR: Alteration of membrane permeability appeared as one of the first symptoms of senescence in rice leaves and allowed discrimination among cultivars after only 7 d of stress and the F-v/F-m ratio was the same for all cultivars during the first 18 d of Stress and thus could not be used for identifying salt-resistant rice exposed to normal light conditions.

Grassland management and conversion into grassland: effects on soil carbon
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of improved grassland management practices and conversion into grasslands on soil C worldwide to assess the potential for C sequestration was reviewed. But the authors focused on the top 10 cm of soil.
