Structural changes in the wheat supply chain and their environmental footprints through satellite yield forecasting
Open AccessYuya Nakamoto, Tetsuji Tanaka et al.ARTICLECleaner and Responsible Consumption2026
Satellite-based crop forecasting in major exporting regions can trigger production shifts in the opposite hemisphere by leveraging seasonal disparities between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to stabilize global crop supply and markets. However, the impact of these regional shifts on supply chains and environmental footprint remains unclear. Thus, evaluating the influence of yield forecasts on wheat supply chains and carbon footprints and i…

Doubling of annual forest carbon loss over the tropics during the early twenty-first century
Open AccessYu Feng, Zhenzhong Zeng et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2022References: 5
Previous estimates of tropical forest carbon loss in the twenty-first century using satellite data typically focus on its magnitude, whereas regional loss trajectories and associated drivers are rarely reported. Here we used different high-resolution satellite datasets to show a doubling of gross tropical forest carbon loss worldwide from 0.97 ± 0.16 PgC yr −1 in 2001–2005 to 1.99 ± 0.13 PgC yr −1 in 2015–2019. This increase in carbon loss from f…
Global maps of cropland extent and change show accelerated cropland expansion in the twenty-first century
Open AccessPeter Potapov, Svetlana Turubanova et al.ARTICLENature Food2021
Spatiotemporally consistent data on global cropland extent is essential for tracking progress towards sustainable food production. In the present study, we present an analysis of global cropland area change for the first two decades of the twenty-first century derived from satellite data time-series. We estimate that, in 2019, the cropland area was 1,244 Mha with a corresponding total annual net primary production (NPP) of 5.5 Pg C year −1 . From…
Global land use extent and dispersion within natural land cover using Landsat data
Open AccessMatthew C Hansen, Peter Potapov et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021
The conversion of natural land cover into human-dominated land use systems has significant impacts on the environment. Global mapping and monitoring of human-dominated land use extent via satellites provides an empirical basis for assessing land use pressures. Here, we present a novel 2019 global land cover, land use, and ecozone map derived from Landsat satellite imagery and topographical data using derived image feature spaces and algorithms su…

Identifying Agricultural Frontiers for Modeling Global Cropland Expansion
Open AccessFelix Eigenbrod, Michael Beckmann et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020
The increasing expansion of cropland is major driver of global carbon emissions and biodiversity loss. However, predicting plausible future global distributions of croplands remains challenging. Here, we show that, in general, existing global data aligned with classical economic theories of expansion explain the current (1992) global extent of cropland reasonably well, but not recent expansion (1992-2015). Deviations from models of cropland exten…

Applying Benefit-Cost Analysis to Air Pollution Control in the Indian Power Sector
Open AccessMaureen Cropper, Sarath Guttikunda et al.ARTICLEJournal of Benefit-Cost Analysis2018Cited by: 4References: 1
Air pollution is a persistent and well-established public health problem in India: emissions from coal-fired power plants have been associated with over 80,000 premature deaths in 2015. Premature deaths could rise by four to five times this number by 2050 without additional pollution controls. We site a model 500 MW coal-fired electricity generating unit at eight locations in India and examine the benefits and costs of retrofitting the plant with…
