Agricultural Land Suitability Analysis for Land Use Planning: The Case of the Madrid Region

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 134 - 134

Agricultural land is a key resource for territorial resilience. In the European context, fertile soils are under pressure not only from urbanisation processes, abandonment and establishment of non-agricultural uses but also agriculture that well adapted to resources. order inform urban planning, methodology proposed applied Madrid region analyse suitability agricultural with respect agrological quality. The majority in agroecological quality land; larger areas over-exploited located along some region’s rivers Campiña, while under-utilised mainly found south-west metropolitan comarcas. This based on official open-access information, so it can be easily replicated used planning. We propose three strategies depending use: introduction crops priority horticulture or arable crops, protection ecological regeneration areas.

Grid based monitoring and forecasting system of cropping conditions and risks by agrometeorological indicators in Austria – Agricultural Risk Information System ARIS

Climate Services, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 34, P. 100478 - 100478

Published: April 1, 2024

ARIS (Agricultural Risk Information System) is a GIS (Geographical System)-based modelling system (applicable for hind-casting, weather observations and forecasting as well climate scenario projections) number of weather-related abiotic biotic cropping risks, crop management growing conditions. In our study we demonstrate describe the functionality characteristics on Austrian conditions domain. indicators can be applied different time periods daily base spatial grid 1 km weather/climate (0,5 soil based available map). The currently implemented general or risks are variables, partly combined with wetness, regardless other potential (not related) limitations. Crop specific risk algorithms phenological development 5 main crops include especially soil-crop water balance drought heat stress effects. Biotic pests diseases importance allows assessment during seasons thus provides wide set information decision support strategic planning stakeholders in agricultural sector. has to adapted diverse agroecosystems extended by further related types, if necessary (grid based) input data formats available.

Preliminary Exploration of Refined Constructability Analysis Method Based on Cold Islands Value Evaluation: Taking Nanjing Eastern Central District as an Example

Advances in engineering research/Advances in Engineering Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 68 - 83

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Under the concept of sustainable development, researching and evaluating "constructability" urban land is an important starting point for harmonious coexistence artificial natural environment.Territorial planning provides basic suitability assessment a certain use entire city in macro scale, which can be classified into suitable, restricted, prohibited construction scopes.However, as design tends to more refined, when considering at meso-micro there still large number ecological elements such vegetation water bodies suitable scopes.These have potential value coldsources reducing summer energy consumption carbon emission but may destroyed due different intensities constructions.From perspective we proposed optimized refined classification method by introducing cold island evaluation through thermal humid environment analysis technology, so provide layout guidance development intensity design.Subsequently, was applied Nanjing Eastern Central District, effectively realizes goal islands reservation, reduction, protection.

Multi-Criteria Analysis for Geospatialization of Potential Areas for Water Reuse in Irrigated Agriculture in Hydrographic Regions

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 2689 - 2689

Published: Nov. 15, 2024

As the climate crisis progresses, droughts and seasonal availability of fresh water are becoming increasingly common in different regions world. One solution to tackle this problem is reuse treated wastewater agriculture. This study was carried out two significant hydrographic located southeast Brazil (Mogi Guaçu River Water Management Unit—UGRHI-09 Piracicaba Basin—PRB) that have notable differences terms land use cover. The aim carry a multi-criteria analysis set environmental attributes order classify areas under according their levels soil suitability runoff potential. integrated made it possible geospatialize prospective for reuse, specified conditions. In UGRHI-09, condition 1 corresponds 3373.24 km2, while 2 comprises 286.07 mainly north-western central-eastern portions unit. PRB, also more expressive occupational terms, corresponding 1447.83 km2; perceptible 53.11 predominantly central region basin. physical characteristics studied were decisive delimiting suitable wastewater.

Digital Mapping of Land Suitability for Main Agricultural Crops in Romania

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(12), P. 2828 - 2828

The scientific evaluation of land potential for different uses is essential sustainable development. Our study attempts to quantify this agricultural purposes at a national scale, using GIS techniques, high-resolution spatial data, and recent climate data. methodology we applied in our was developed the 1980s by soil scientists from National Institute Research Development Pedology, Agrochemistry Environmental Protection (ICPA) it still official approach assessment suitability crops Romania. In study, application based on data including 25 × m resolution EU-DEM, CHESLA database which mean annual temperatures precipitations were extracted 1990–2019 period, digital map Romania, European LUCAS database. Firstly, compared evolution 1961–1990 periods found that there significant warming trend (an overall increase 1.27 °C entire country, ranging 0.9 1.6 °C) among major landform units slight precipitation throughout country (68.8 mm yr−1 whole 9.3 118.8 yr−1). Then, period (1990–2019), starting with mapping 15 factors, further aggregated achieve index classes main Romania (winter wheat, maize, sunflower, potato, vine wine). results show most suitable sunflower are plain areas (Romanian Plain, Western Plain) LSI average values over 60. For (LSI 50–60) less extended, being especially intra-mountainous depressions cooler plateau areas, while vines find very conditions 70) contact Romanian Plain Subcarpathians. To assess model performance, determined shares within occupied specific crops. A second validation carried out correlating total crop production county level cumulated values. We that, apart potatoes, performs well analyzed However, methodological revision necessary accommodate temperature values, did not manifest reference (1961–1990), but now part current
