Reducing environmental pollution is a critical goal in global economics and economic development. The European Union (EU) faces challenges due to its development activities. Here we present comprehensive approach assess the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, energy consumption (EC), population structure (POP), economy (GDP), policies on environment within EU using Kuznets curve (EKC). Our research reveals that between 1990 2019, EU-27 experienced an increase +1.18 million tonnes oil...

Artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning (ML), serves as a valuable tool for decision support in crop management under ongoing climate change. However, ML implementation to predict maize yield is still limited Central Europe, especially Hungary. In this context, we assessed the performance of four algorithms (Bagging (BG), Decision Table (DT), Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network-Multi Layer Perceptron (ANN-MLP)) predicting based on different input scenarios. The collected...

Globally, countries are legitimizing actions to curtail the malevolent impacts of environmental degradation. This study examined interaction between CO2 emissions and selected economic variables within framework Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. The Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) was used analyze long-run relationships short-run dynamics studied (1970–2020). Mann-Kendall (MK) test revealed a significant (p < 0.05) positive increase GHGs from all sectors across KSA. highest increased...

Sustainable management of potassium nutrition in alfalfa crop production is one the major key factors for achieving optimum seed and biomass yields. An inappropriate supply mineral could result a decrease grain yield production, leading to luxury consumption with cost implications. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) perennial leguminous forage known its high protein content, nutritive value, soil-improving abilities, livestock feed. Potassium plays crucial role by influencing several physiological...
