Amending agricultural fields with gypsum has been proposed as a cost-effective measure to reduce P load coastal waters. To study its performance on large scale, we treated 1490 ha of clayey phosphogypsum (4 t ha−1) in southwest Finland and monitored the recipient river online sensors water sampling for preceding spring 5 years after amendment. Gypsum immediately decreased riverine fluxes, effect lasting at least particulate (PP), total suspended solids (TSS) dissolved organic C (DOC) 1–2...
This paper draws on the European Union's Bioeconomy Action Plan (BAP) to clarify notion "bioeconomy" and examine how it relates forest sector its current challenges. The interpretation is linked a broader context of climate energy policies ideas green economy growth. It shown that, despite good intentions, BAP fails link bioeconomy core idea sources economic hardly discusses entirely omits land-use aspects between agriculture forestry that are important for policies. An equally serious...
Millions of tonnes plastic litter end up annually in the environment causing damage to ecosystem. There are currently no standards regulating amount microplastic wastewater, and question is, should there be? Answering this requires an understanding damages causes its removal potential from wastewater. This paper examines cost-effectiveness three wastewater treatment (activated sludge, rapid sand filtering membrane bioreactor) two sludge management technologies (anaerobic digestion...
ABSTRACT We examine the implications of migration and insecure property rights to land use deforestation in tropical frontier forests. Three forms risks are introduced basic land-use forms. Illegal logging risk is associated with forest plantations, a expropriation affects agriculture plantation forestry, illegal threaten native land. Public private landowners can reduce these by employing costly enforcement effort. show how that migration, expropriation, lead promoting agricultural...
Forests can play a significant role both in halting biodiversity loss and mitigating climate change. A variety of payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes exists to promote conservation forests. These could be used strengthen the forests as carbon sinks well. This paper analyzes implications supplementing PES scheme that targets boreal forest with index. We use site selection framework examine how proposed impacts promotion targets. compare case where is done solely based on values...
This paper applies cost-benefit analysis to assess social and private net benefits from rainbow trout European whitefish aquaculture under recirculating system (RAS) marine cage technologies. In addition investment operational costs, we include eutrophication damage nutrients value the fish produced by its producer price. The assessment is made in terms of annualized present benefits. We find that production outperforms RAS a wide margin for production. For whitefish, narrows this gap...
Abstract We examine the evolution of European net sinks towards 2030 and Union’s (EU) climate neutrality target by 2050. The EU’s current land use policy for 2021–2030 is divided into two periods: 2021–2025 2026–2030. national inventory data from several databases statistical analyses are used to trends drivers forecast future forest use, change forestry (LULUCF) sector. Our forecasts suggest that will be short agreed reference levels in most member states 2021–2025, with a total 128 MtCO 2...
Biodiversity is decreasing at an alarming rate. Current policies focus on the most valuable species and habitats but cannot stop degradation occurring in less habitats. One solution offsetting loss of biodiversity caused by development projects. The basic idea simple: a developer must provide improvement so that lost ecological value compensated for. A banking mechanism for entails third party providing offsets developers to purchase, thus, offset market emerges. We develop equilibrium model...
This study examines the economics of strip harvesting on drained boreal peatlands as an alternative method to traditional even-aged forest management that causes high negative externalities due nutrient loads receiving water courses. Strip avoids large clear-cuts, eliminates need for ditch network maintenance and facilitates maintaining table at environmentally beneficial level, thus reducing eutrophication externalities. In rotation framework, a manager maximizes present value net harvest...
Abstract Heatwaves pose a direct threat to human health and well-being, particularly in cities, but there is little evidence of how much adaptation needed at high northern latitudes. Drawing on IPCC’s notion climate risk, we develop an integrated approach determine the economic viability growing mortality caused by increasing heatwaves via improved cooling residential buildings. Accounting for stochasticity temperatures using Monte Carlo simulations, estimate that will increase tenfold...
