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.

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.

Aggression and Violence in the Inner City: Effects of Environment via Mental Fatigue
TL;DR: For example, this article found that contact with nature, which appears to mitigate mental fatigue, may reduce the propensity for outbursts of anger and even violence in U.S. adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of land use intensity on the species diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agroecosystems of Central Europe
TL;DR: The increased land use intensity was correlated with a decrease in AMF species richness and with a preferential selection of species that colonized roots slowly but formed spores rapidly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dry weight response to source–sink manipulations in wheat, maize and soybean: a quantitative reappraisal
TL;DR: Yield is usually more sink than source limited during seed filling in the three crops, though: interspecific variation exists in the magnitude of limitation, and intraspecific variability is larger in soybean than in cereals.

Is there a critical level of organic matter in the agricultural soils of temperate regions: a review
P Loveland,J. Webb +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarises what is known about critical thresholds of soil organic carbon (SOM) or SOM, mainly in soils of temperate regions, and their potential effects on soil quality, soil physical properties and crop nutrition, and the links between these.

Competition Among Crop and Pasture Plants
TL;DR: The fuller understanding of competition among plants requires a greater knowledge of the response of plants to their environment, especially of theresponse to the environmental stresses created by neighbors.
