Growing social awareness of the need to adequately treat mining waste in order protect environment has led an increase research this field. The aim study was analyze dynamics focused on and its sustainable management a worldwide scale from 1988 2017. A systematic review bibliometric analysis 3577 articles were completed. results show that into increased, with studies focusing accounting for almost 40% total. most productive journals field Applied Geochemistry Science Total Environment. five...
Water use efficiency in agriculture (WUEA) has become a priority given increasing limitations on hydric resources. As result, this area of research increased importance, becoming one the most prolific lines study. The main aim study was to present review worldwide WUEA over last 30 years. A bibliometric analysis developed based Scopus database. sample included 6063 articles. variables analyzed were: articles per year, category, journal, country, institution, author, and keyword. results...
Irrigated agriculture plays a fundamental role as supplier of food and raw materials. However, it is also the world’s largest water user. In recent years, there has been an increase in number studies analyzing agricultural irrigation from perspective sustainability with focus on its environmental, economic, social impacts. This study seeks to analyze dynamics global research sustainable between 1999 2018, including main agents promoting topics that have received most attention. To do this,...
Within a context of scarce water resources for agriculture, rainwater harvesting constitutes promising alternative that has been studied by different disciplines in recent years. This article analyses the dynamics global research on agricultural irrigation over last two decades. To do this, qualitative systematic analysis and quantitative bibliometric have carried out. The results reveal this line is becoming increasingly important within irrigation. Environmental sciences biological are...
The relevance of forests to sustain human well-being and the serious threats they face have led a notable increase research works on forest ecosystem services during last few years. This paper analyses worldwide dynamics in period from 1998 2017. A bibliometric analysis 4284 articles was conducted. results showed that number published has especially increased five In total, 68.63% were this period. line experiences growing trend superior general publishing research. spite increase, its...
Greenhouse farming is an agricultural management system that has demonstrated its efficiency in intensifying food production. These systems constitute a feasible alternative for ensuring supply, which one of the greatest challenges faced by humankind twenty-first century. Technology been able to meet related greenhouse both contributing overcoming limitations, correcting adverse impacts and sustainability. The objective this article analyse global research trends technology over last two...
In the Campo de Níjar (southeast Spain), an intensive horticulture model under plastic has been developed based on use of groundwater. For many years, aquifers have overexploited, almost generating environmental collapse. The construction a desalination plant was planned to improve this situation and achieve sustainable aquifer management. However, is still being since farmers scarcely desalinated seawater for irrigation. paper, irrigating with are characterized, they contribute...
The use of intensive high-yield agricultural systems has proved to be a feasible alternative traditional as they able meet the objective guaranteeing long-term sustainability in supply food. In order implement these systems, it is necessary replace model “extract-use-consume-dispose” with based on principles Circular Economy (CE), optimizing resources and minimizing generation waste. Almería become paradigm this type system, largest concentration greenhouses world. This study analyses...
Much of the recently published literature in Europe on rural development tends to focus de-agrarianization and multifunctionality livelihoods as a way generate employment incomes. This paper analyses case Almería (Spain), an exception this general rule. Almería, once one poorest Spanish provinces, has become most affluent province Andalusia ranks now about average Spain. fast growth rate was achieved thanks intensive horticulture its processes change from 1970s present day, due factors...
Abstract In the context of current agri-food market, several factors have made it increasingly difficult to balance components sustainability in agricultural-based development. These include increasing internationalization, tighter control distribution and frequent changes agricultural policies. Indeed, framework European rural policy there has been considerable debate recent years concerning role sector how should face following challenges: productivity-competitiveness, environmental...
Carnivore and humans live in proximity due to carnivore recovery efforts ongoing human encroachment into habitats globally. The American West is a region that uniquely exemplifies these human-carnivore dynamics, however, it unclear how the research community here integrates social ecological factors examine relations. Therefore, strategies promoting coexistence are urgently needed. We conducted systematic review on relations covering studies between 2000 2018. first characterized across...
Soil is a fundamental resource, subject to severe and quick degradation processes because of the pressure human activities, particularly in many regions Mediterranean where agriculture an important economic activity. It has been proven that use sustainable soil management practices can potentially give rise creation carbon sink, increase organic matter content, maintenance crop productivity reduction erosion. Despite existence scientific evidence about benefits generated by on soil, farmers...
The socio-cultural valuation of forest ecosystem services is a useful tool to generate knowledge and help balance the different interests stakeholders with respect management these services. aim this study analyse evolution global research on economic through review existing literature topic. results show that has gained importance in recent years. There wide disparity between countries conducting those being studied. Inconsistency been observed definition classification provided by forests,...
Abstract In recent decades several theories on rural development have been expounded in an attempt to explain some experiences of regional economic growth or provide recommendations policies. The objective this article is revise open debate and introduce more concerns about the delimitation mosaic areas Europe. context present analyses paradigmatic Almería (south‐east Spain) based primarily agriculture a process categorised as miracle. Some authors attempted success by mechanisms associated...
In the context of increasing demand for irrigation water—but, at same time, with constraints in supply from traditional resources—desalinated seawater has been recognized as one alternative sources water to increase agricultural irrigation. However, its use among farmers not yet started expand. Policy makers need understand what is causing low acceptance levels farmers, and how their attitudes could be improved. This first study that conducted an analysis farmers’ perceptions desalinated The...
It is estimated that at least one quarter of the world’s population will be affected by water shortages in coming years and 2030 there a global deficit 40% if urgent action not taken. Currently, main consumer globally agriculture. In addition, it has been to meet demand for food 2050, available agricultural irrigation would have increase 70%. this context, wastewater could become relevant resource growing demand. This article aims show state research on sustainable use To end, systematic...
