Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed
Uncertainties about the applicability of δ 13 C and δ 15 N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ 13 C and δ 15 N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil. Three potential sediment sources were sampled as follows: unpaved roads, sugarcane cultivation, and…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of non-floodplain ponded waterbodies in the upper Yangtze River Basin, China
The influence of large-scale climate patterns on sediment loss from agricultural land—exploration using an instrumented field and catchment scale platform
Accelerated soil erosion and sediment delivery are threats to water quality. In Western Europe, weather patterns are strongly influenced by large scale climate systems such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAOi). Recently, however, a new climate index has been developed, called the West Europe Pressure Anomaly (WEPAi), which may be more relevant for weather in North Western Europe. Recent attempts have tried to link variability in weather patte…
Are single global warming potential impact assessments adequate for carbon footprints of agri-food systems
The vast majority of agri-food climate-based sustainability analyses use global warming potential (GWP 100 ) as an impact assessment, usually in isolation; however, in recent years, discussions have criticised the 'across-the-board' application of GWP 100 in Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), particularly of food systems which generate large amounts of methane (CH 4 ) and considered whether reporting additional and/or alternative metrics may be more …
Current advisory interventions for grazing ruminant farming cannot close exceedance of modern background sediment loss – Assessment using an instrumented farm platform and modelled scaling out
Water quality impairment by elevated sediment loss is a pervasive problem for global water resources. Sediment management targets identify exceedance or the sediment loss 'gap' requiring mitigation. In the UK, palaeo-limnological reconstruction of sediment loss during the 100-150 years pre-dating the post-World War II intensification of agriculture, has identified management targets (0.20-0.35 t ha -1 yr -1 ) representing 'modern background sedim…
The environmental costs and benefits of high-yield farming
An exploration of individual, social and material factors influencing water pollution mitigation behaviours within the farming community
Reducing soil phosphorus fertility brings potential long-term environmental gains
Soil phosphorus (P) fertility arising from historic P inputs is a major driver of P mobilisation in agricultural runoff and increases the risk of aquatic eutrophication. To determine the environmental benefit of lowering soil P fertility, a meta-analysis of the relationship between soil test P (measured as Olsen-P) and P concentrations in agricultural drainflow and surface runoff in mostly UK soils was undertaken in relation to current eutrophica…
The potential benefits of on-farm mitigation scenarios for reducing multiple pollutant loadings in prioritised agri-environment areas across England
Mitigation of diffuse water pollution from agriculture is a key national environmental policy objective in England. With the recent introduction of the new agri-environment scheme, Countryside Stewardship, there is an increased emphasis on the macro-spatial targeting of on-farm mitigation measures to reduce pollutant pressures, and a concomitant need to forecast the technically feasible impacts of on-farm measures detailed in current policy and t…
Projected impacts of increased uptake of source control mitigation measures on agricultural diffuse pollution emissions to water and air
The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding provided by Defra project LM0304; Phase 2 of the Avon Demonstration Test Catchment. The DTC farm survey data were collected in conjunction with the Avon (Defra project WQ0211), Wensum (Defra project WQ0212) and Eden (Defra project WQ02010) DTC programmes. The Environment Agency kindly provided access to national GIS layers. The authors thank the experts included in the elicitation exercise for curren…
Exceedance of modern ‘background’ fine-grained sediment delivery to rivers due to current agricultural land use and uptake of water pollution mitigation options across England and Wales
Cross sector contributions to river pollution in England and Wales
Application of the Farmscoper Tool for Assessing Agricultural Diffuse Pollution Mitigation Methods Across the Hampshire Avon Demonstration Test Catchment, Uk
Central Nervous System Serotonin and Clustering of Hostility, Psychosocial, Metabolic, and Cardiovascular Endophenotypes in Men
OBJECTIVE: To use measures of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) and genotype of a functional polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase A gene promoter (MAOA-uVNTR) to study the role of central nervous system (CNS) serotonin in clustering of hostility, other psychosocial, metabolic and cardiovascular endophenotypes. METHODS: In 86 healthy male volunteers, we evaluated CSF levels of the primary serotonin metabolite 5HIAA and …
