CEAP is a multi-agency effort to quantify the environmental effects of conservation practices and programs and develop the science base for managing the agricultural landscape for environmental quality.
We compared the effects of conservation P and water management strategies with traditional practices on P transport to groundwater.
This chapter describes the impact of thermal processes, phenomenological thermomechanics, thermomechanical effects, mechanical laws of conservation, and energy balance on cryogenic systems.
Konrad and Yang conclude, however, that "the ongoing positive effects of conservation of time and energy resources for employees outweigh the initial short-term negative effects of signaling and stigmatization". They believe the flexible work options facilitate a productive process whereby people with lower stress and richer home lives perform better at work.
We present a multi-period evaluation including three panel surveys over six years from villages inside and outside PAs to clarify the mechanisms through which social effects of conservation take place and how this translates into the development pathways adopted by households.
To tease apart the effects of conservation on ecosystems and validate their ecological impact (see Palmer et al. 1997), we propose using monitoring protocols for ecological communities derived from interaction network theory.
Another source of uncertainty between the research works is a consequence of the different research approaches: some have investigated only the effect of the time passing (therefore, aging), others consider the aging effect together with other effects, like the state of conservation and the duration of load.
The difference to other studies estimating optimal conservation is that a problem was addressed where costs and ecological effects of conservation measures are heterogeneous in space and over time.
A multi-year experiment was conducted to compare the effects of conservation tillage (no-till and ridge-till) with conventional plow tillage on organic C, N, and resin-extractable P in an alkaline semi-arid subtropical soil (Hidalgo sandy clay loam, a fine-loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Calciustoll) at Weslaco, TX (26°9′N 97°57′W).
Field experiments were conducted between 2007 and 2009 to evaluate the effects of conservation tillage on the yields and crop water use efficiency of maize (Zea mays L). and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L). in eastern Kenya.
