Understanding potential future influence of environmental, economic, and social drivers on land-use sustainability is critical for guiding strategic decisions that can help nations adapt to change, anticipate opportunities, cope with surprises. Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, we undertook a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, quantitative scenario analysis Australia's agricultural land from 2013–2050, under interacting global change domestic policies, considering key...
Environmentally extended input–output analysis (EEIOA) supports environmental policy by quantifying how demand for goods and services leads to resource use emissions across the economy. However, some types of require spatially explicit impact assessment meaningful interpretation, which is not possible in conventional EEIOA. For example, water locations scarcity abundance are environmentally equivalent. Opportunities EEIOA limited because official tables tend be produced at scale political...
Abstract Competition for land is increasing, and policy needs to ensure the efficient supply of multiple ecosystem services from systems. We modelled spatially explicit potential future in Australia's intensive agricultural response carbon markets under four global outlooks 2013 2050. assessed productive efficiency greenhouse gas emissions abatement, production, water resources, biodiversity compared these production possibility frontiers ( PPF s). While interacting commodity produced...
Forest trees are ideally suited to association mapping due their high levels of diversity and low genomic linkage disequilibrium. Using an approach, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers influencing quantitative variation in wood quality were identified a natural population Pinus radiata. Of 149 sites examined, 10 demonstrated significant associations (P < 0.05, q 0.1) with one or more traits after accounting for structure experimentwise error. Without marker interactions, phenotypic...
Ecological condition continues to decline in arid and semi-arid river basins globally due hydrological over-abstraction combined with changing climatic conditions. Whilst provision of water for the environment has been a primary approach alleviate ecological decline, how accurately monitor changes riverine trees at fine spatial temporal scales, remains substantial challenge. This is further complicated by constantly availability across expansive varying zones. Within, we combine rare,...
Wetland and floodplain ecosystems along many regulated rivers are highly stressed, primarily due to a lack of environmental flows appropriate magnitude, frequency, duration, timing support ecological functions. In the absence increased flows, health river can be enhanced by operation existing new flow‐control infrastructure (weirs regulators) return more natural flow regimes specific areas. However, determining optimal investment strategies over time is complex task several factors including...
This study investigates the relationships among Ni, Cd and Pb's different chemical forms determined by methodologies in coastal transitional waters across a broad geographical scale. Concentrations were measured spot samples through passive sampling (DGT). High variability of metal concentrations was found sites due to natural water fluctuations rather than given or method. Total dissolved lower EQS-WFD values. The labile fractions Pb, Anodic Stripping Voltammetry DGT-ICPMS, highly...
Investment in and operation of flow control infrastructure such as dams, weirs, regulators can help increase both the health regulated river ecosystems social values derived from them. This requires high-quality high-resolution spatiotemporal ecohydrological socioeconomic information. We developed an information base for integrated environmental management River Murray South Australia (SA). A hydrological model was used to identify inundation dynamics. were classified mapped units....
The current study evaluates the effect of seawater physico-chemical characteristics on relationship between concentration metals measured by Diffusive Gradients in Thin films (DGT) passive samplers (i.e., DGT-labile concentration) and concentrations discrete water samples. Accordingly, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure total dissolved metal samples labile obtained DGT samplers; additionally, lead cadmium conditional fractions were determined Anodic...
This protocol was developed based on the knowledge acquired in framework of Interreg MONITOOL project (EAPA_565/2016) where extensive sampling campaigns were performed transitional and coastal waters covering eight European countries. It provides detailed procedures guidelines for these waterbodies by concurrent collection discrete water samples deployment Diffusive Gradient Thin-films (DGT) passive samplers measurement trace metal concentrations. In order to facilitate application this...
