The potential of Russia to increase its wheat production through cropland expansion and intensification

Schierhorn, Florian; Müller, Daniel; Prishchepov, … - In: Global Food Security 3 (2014) 3-4, pp. 133-141

Russia is a major player in the global wheat market, but extensive unused land resources and large yield gaps suggest that wheat production can be substantially increased. We combined time series of cultivated cropland, abandoned cropland and yield gap estimates to assess the potential...

Increasing concentration of major crops in China from 1980 to 2011

Yin, Fang; Sun, Zhanli; You, Liangzhi; Müller, Daniel - In: Journal of Land Use Science [ISSN:] 1747-4248 13 (2018) 5, pp. 480-493

The concentration of crop cultivation can be measured in terms of spatial clustering and of inequality in the distribution of the cropland area. We used official agricultural statistics at the county level (N = 2,354) for each year from 1980 to 2011 for all of China to analyse the changes in...

Economic impacts of climate change on two Mexican coastal fisheries: Implications for food security

Aguilar Ibarra, Alonso; Sánchez Vargas, Armando; … - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 7 (2013) 2013-36, pp. 1-38

This paper has a twofold objective: First, to estimate the changes in landings value by 2030 for two Mexican coastal fisheries, specifically shrimp and sardine fisheries, as a consequence of climate change; and second, to discuss the implications of such impacts for food security. A dynamic panel...

Post-Soviet changes in cropping practices in the irrigated drylands of the Aral Sea basin

Rufin, Philippe; Peña-Guerrero, Mayra Daniela; … - In: Environmental Research Letters 17 (2022) 9

Water withdrawals for irrigated crop production constitute the largest source of freshwater consumption on Earth. Monitoring the dynamics of irrigated crop cultivation is crucial for tracking crop water consumption, particularly in water-scarce areas. We analyzed changes in water-dependent crop...

Field-level land-use data reveal heterogeneous crop sequences with distinct regional differences in Germany

Jänicke, Clemens; Goddard, Adam; Stein, Susanne; … - In: European Journal of Agronomy 141 (2022), pp. 1-12

Crop cultivation intensifies globally, which can jeopardize biodiversity and the resilience of cropping systems. We investigate changes in crop rotations as one intensification metric for half of the croplands in Germany with annual field-level land-use data from 2005 to 2018. We proxy crop...
