ABSTRACT Agroforestry has a significant contribution to soil fertility enhancement as productive and protective value. Particularly, fruit tree-based agroforestry practice plays a significant role in improving productivity as well as soil fertility management. This study aimed to determine the contribution of on-farm avocado fruit tree-based agroforestry practice on selected soil physicochemical properties in the case of Inguti small watershed. Field survey and laboratory analyses were carried out based on selected physicochemical properties. Soil samples were taken from 12 sample avocado trees at 3 radial distances (under, near, and far from tree canopy) and two depths (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm) in four directions. Soil composite samples were taken for laboratory analysis. To investigate its contribution to selected soil’s physicochemical properties texture, bulk density, organic matter and carbon, pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium were considered and the significant variation among treatments were analyzed. Based on the result of the study, except soil texture and soil pH, all other investigated soil physical (bulk density) and chemical properties (organic matter, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and potassium) were significantly varied for distance from avocado tree and soil depth from the surface with a p-value of bulk density P < 0.000 and 0.001), organic matter (P < 0.000 and 0.005), organic carbon (P < 0.000 and 0.006), pH (P < 0.00 and 0.626ns), total nitrogen (P < 0.000 and 0.006), available phosphorus (P < 0.002 and 0.01) and potassium (P < 0.002 and 0.01) for distance and depth respectively. So, on-farm avocado (Persea americana) has a significant contribution to soil physicochemical properties in the study watershed.
农林业在提高土壤肥力方面具有重要的生产和保护价值。特别是,以果树为基础的农林业实践在提高生产力和土壤肥力管理方面发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在确定以牛油果果树为基础的农林业实践对英古提小流域土壤理化性质的贡献。根据选定的理化性质进行了实地调查和实验室分析。选取12棵牛油果样本树,在4个方向上3个径向距离(树冠下、树冠附近和树冠远处)和2个深度(0-20 cm和20-40 cm)采集土壤样本。采集土壤复合样品进行实验室分析。以土壤质地、容重、有机质和碳、pH、全氮、速效磷和速效钾为指标,研究其对土壤理化性质的影响,并分析各处理间的显著差异。结果表明,除土壤质地和土壤pH值外,土壤其他物理性质(容重)和化学性质(有机质、有机碳、全氮、速效磷、速效钾)随距离牛油果树距离和土壤深度的变化(容重P < 0.000和0.001)、有机质(P < 0.000和0.005)、有机碳(P < 0.000和0.006)、pH (P < 0.00和0.626ns)均发生显著变化。总氮(P < 0.000和0.006)、有效磷(P < 0.002和0.01)和钾(P < 0.002和0.01)分别与距离和深度有关。因此,农场鳄梨(Persea americana)对研究流域的土壤理化性质有重要贡献。

ABSTRACT Sustainable Agriculture (SA) and the readiness of farmers to implement SA practices are broader discussions in global forums today. However, to date, there has been relatively little focus on holistically developed frameworks to assess farmers’ SA potential or their linkage to farmers’ readiness for SA practices such as adopting more organics in farming, particularly in Sri Lanka. To address this gap, we developed a conceptual model to determine farmers’ resilience in implementing more organic use in farming. The model developed was a philosophical combination of ecosystem resilience theory, the rural livelihood assessment framework, and the dimensions of personal readiness to commit to or experience an action. We derived composite indicators to explain the variances of these constructs through a detailed literature review, followed by pre-testing indicators. Data were collected from 386 participants using a structured questionnaire consisting of 119 items. Partial least squares structural equation modelling techniques were used to analyze the variables and path coefficients of the model. Farmers’ sustainable agricultural potential (SAP) was found to be moderately strong in this rice cultivation region. This potential positively influences their readiness for adapting more organics in farming. Some farmers perceived government support as effective. However, this support has not yet been transformed into organic adaptation. Natural capital was identified as the most influential factor in organic farming. Farmers’ education, gender, the extent of sowing, farming methods, and agro-input type were moderating factors between SAP and their readiness for organic matter. Farmers did not deny organic adaptation and understood the need to reduce the use of chemicals.
可持续农业(SA)和农民实施可持续农业实践的意愿是当今全球论坛上广泛讨论的话题。然而,迄今为止,相对较少关注整体开发框架,以评估农民的可持续发展潜力或其与农民对可持续发展实践的准备程度的联系,例如在农业中采用更多的有机产品,特别是在斯里兰卡。为了解决这一差距,我们开发了一个概念模型来确定农民在农业中实施更多有机使用的弹性。该模型是生态系统恢复力理论、农村生计评估框架和个人承诺或经历行动的准备程度的哲学结合。我们通过详细的文献回顾推导出复合指标来解释这些结构的差异,然后是预测试指标。从386名参与者中收集数据,使用包含119个项目的结构化问卷。采用偏最小二乘结构方程建模技术对模型的变量和路径系数进行了分析。该水稻种植区农民的可持续农业潜力(SAP)中等偏强。这种潜力积极影响了他们在农业中适应更多有机作物的意愿。一些农民认为政府的支持是有效的。然而,这种支持尚未转化为有机适应。自然资本是影响有机农业的主要因素。农民的教育程度、性别、播种程度、耕作方法和农业投入类型是SAP与他们对有机质的准备程度之间的调节因素。农民并不否认有机适应,也明白减少化学品使用的必要性。

ABSTRACT Land degradation because of the overutilization of natural resources is a suitable strategy for many countries of the world. This crucial strategy hasn’t been introduced or implemented widely enough. The present study intended to examine the status of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) for the study Rib Watershed, which covers an area of 1585 km2 and is situated in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia. For the past two periods between 2000 and 2020, three indicators, such as Land Cover/Use Changes (LUC), Soil Organic Carbon (SOC), and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) metrics were primarily used to assess the LDN status of the study site. A total of 80 soil samples were then collected from the top 15 cm for six different types of LULC, including cultivated land, forest land, shrub lands, grassland, settlement, and water body. Consequently, land uses land cover matrices, NPP metric, and SOC metrics were also obtained using Land sat images, soil samples, and MODIS satellite images, respectively, for three periods of 2000, 2010, and 2020. Lastly, by integrating the three indicators and using one out all out framework, the status of LDN in the study area was evaluated. The combined findings of the study measurements showed that there was a net loss in cultivated land (123,977 ha), forest land (5623 ha), shrub lands (13984 ha), grassland (11,999 ha), water body (1056 ha) and settlement (1993 ha) for the past two decades (2000 to 2020). For the past two decades, LDN status of the Rib Watershed was generally in a net loss condition. The information delivered by the three sub-indicators is important for experts for the good recognition of their spatial distribution and types of land degradation to attain the LDN targets.
由于自然资源的过度利用而导致的土地退化是世界上许多国家的合适策略。这一关键战略还没有得到足够广泛的引入或实施。本研究旨在研究位于埃塞俄比亚上青尼罗河流域面积1585平方公里的Rib流域的土地退化中性(LDN)状况。2000—2020年,研究区土地覆被/利用变化(LUC)、土壤有机碳(SOC)和净初级生产力(NPP) 3个指标主要用于评价研究区土地生态多样性状况。选取耕地、林地、灌丛地、草地、聚落、水体等6种不同类型的土壤样品,共采集土壤样品80份。利用2000年、2010年和2020年三个时期的陆地卫星影像、土壤样本和MODIS卫星影像,分别获得了土地利用、土地覆盖矩阵、NPP度量和土壤有机碳度量。最后,通过综合三个指标,采用“一出全出”的框架,对研究区LDN的现状进行了评价。综合研究结果表明,在过去20年(2000 - 2020年),耕地(123977公顷)、林地(5623公顷)、灌木林地(13984公顷)、草地(11999公顷)、水体(1056公顷)和居民点(1993公顷)的净损失。在过去的二十年中,Rib流域的LDN状况总体上处于净损失状态。这三个子指标提供的信息对于专家很好地认识它们的空间分布和土地退化类型以实现土地退化指标的目标非常重要。

ABSTRACT Environmental problems have become so profound that they require a concerted effort to fix them, but many manufacturing companies have failed to go green. This paper explores the challenges manufacturing companies (MCs) face in their efforts to have and maintain the best environmental sustainability practices (ESPs) in urban Ghana. The study involved 600 respondents selected from six manufacturing companies using a cross-sectional survey design with a two-stage sampling technique. The result showed that the challenges to environmental sustainability practices negatively relate to the socio-economic performance of manufacturing companies. These findings add to the literature on challenges to achieving environmental sustainability and contribute a social science perspective to the ongoing discussion on ESPs of MCs. This research is unique in the sense that studies on environmental sustainability and MCs have concentrated on the chemicals or pollutants but not on the polluter-behavior dynamics.
摘要 环境问题已经变得非常严重,需要共同努力加以解决,但许多制造企业却未能实现绿色发展。本文探讨了加纳城市中的制造企业(MCs)在努力拥有和保持最佳环境可持续发展实践(ESPs)时所面临的挑战。研究采用横截面调查设计和两阶段抽样技术,从六家制造企业中选取了 600 名受访者。结果表明,环境可持续发展实践面临的挑战与制造企业的社会经济绩效呈负相关。这些研究结果丰富了有关实现环境可持续发展所面临挑战的文献,并从社会科学的角度为正在进行的有关制造业公司ESP的讨论做出了贡献。这项研究是独一无二的,因为有关环境可持续性和制造业公司的研究主要集中在化学品或污染物方面,而不是污染者行为动态方面。

ABSTRACT This study examined the nexus between land use, land cover dynamics, and climate variability and change in the Suha sub-watershed of the upper Blue Nile basin (1990–2020). Data sources such as Landsat images (LULC, NDVI, and LST) and NMAE/KNMI (rainfall) were used and analyzed using ArcGIS 10.7.1, QGIS 2.8.3, and XLSTAT 19. The relationship between NDVI and climate variables was determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, while the cellular automata-artificial neural network technique was used to predict future LULC change. Results showed that among the six land use classes, cultivated land gained more than 30%, while grassland lost more than 20% in each decade. The LULC dynamic in the future also showed that bare land and the built-up area had the highest increments, while bush-shrub land had the highest diminishing trends. The NDVI values of each land use class were between −0.14 and +0.74 in 1990 and −0.09 and 0.68 in 2000, respectively. In 2013, the NDVI value ranged from −0.04 to +0.46, and in 2020, it was from −0.08 to 0.55, respectively. The NDVI value of the different land uses showed a decreasing trend. However, LST and rainfall in the watershed showed an increasing and decreasing trend, respectively, which is associated with the LULC daynamics. The correlation between NDVI and LST was found to be negative, whereas the relationship between NDVI and rainfall was positive. Hence, an appropriate use of land is an undeniable fact to minimize the undesirable influence of LULC change on climate variability in the area.
摘要 本研究考察了青尼罗河上游流域苏哈子流域(1990-2020 年)的土地利用、土地覆被动态与气候多变性和变化之间的关系。研究使用了 Landsat 图像(LULC、NDVI 和 LST)和 NMAE/KNMI(降雨量)等数据源,并使用 ArcGIS 10.7.1、QGIS 2.8.3 和 XLSTAT 19 进行了分析。利用皮尔逊相关系数确定了 NDVI 与气候变量之间的关系,并利用细胞自动人工神经网络技术预测了未来 LULC 的变化。结果表明,在六个土地利用等级中,耕地每十年增加 30% 以上,而草地每十年减少 20% 以上。未来土地利用、土地利用变化的动态也表明,裸地和建筑密集区的增量最大,而灌木丛生地的减量趋势最大。1990 年,各土地利用等级的 NDVI 值分别为-0.14 至 +0.74,2000 年为-0.09 至 0.68。2013 年,NDVI 值介于 -0.04 至 +0.46 之间,2020 年则介于 -0.08 至 0.55 之间。不同土地用途的 NDVI 值呈下降趋势。然而,流域内的 LST 和降雨量分别呈上升和下降趋势,这与 LULC 日变化有关。研究发现,NDVI 与 LST 之间呈负相关,而 NDVI 与降雨量之间呈正相关。因此,合理利用土地是将土地利用、土地利用变化对该地区气候变异的不良影响降至最低的不争事实。
