“…Since the evolution of the GWF concept (Chapagain et al, 2006), a number of GWF and WPL studies have been published quantifying the anthropogenic N load to fresh water from different sectors (agricultural, domestic and industrial) and scales in a theoretical way, with no comparison of the indicator results with actual N concentrations (Chukalla et al, 2018a;Karandish, 2019;Liu et al, 2012;Mekonnen and Hoekstra, 2011;Mekonnen and Hoekstra, 2015;Pellicer-Martínez and Martínez-Paz, 2016;Miglietta et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2019). Regarding the methodology, to the best of our knowledge, only three previous studies have used an advanced soil balance approach for estimating the diffuse N loads at the field (Chukalla et al, 2018a; and global level (Mekonnen and Hoekstra, 2015).…”

“…En América del Sur, donde se está realizando la implementación de organismos genéticamente modificados (OGM) diseñados para ser resistentes a pesticidas y plaguicidas; con ello se estaría logrando cambiar el modelo agrícola para ya no depender del uso masivo de los agroquímicos (López et al 2012) con el objetivo de lograr un medio ambiente más sostenible para la agricultura intensiva (Karandish, 2019). También se propone etiquetas RFID (identificación por radio frecuencia) como los sistemas de almacenamiento más adecuados para el monitoreo y control de los agroquímicos al contener la información esencial siguiente: país de registro, tipo de químico, número de registro único de un agroquímico, tamaño del envase, gravedad específica, unidad de medida y firma digital (Peets et al 2009).…”

Biodiversity is being affected by the overexploitation of natural resources, the increase of invasive species, climate change, intensive agriculture, and livestock farming. Among these, intensive soybean cultivation has displaced other products such as rice and wheat; intensive cultivation leads to increased use of agrochemicals, which generates severe socio-environmental effects, particularly on biodiversity. The objective of the study was to compile scientific literature produced on the loss of biodiversity caused by intensive agriculture and climate change, and within them the possible effects on the interrelationship between human beings and the environment. The methodological procedure was the systematic review developed in March 2021, using Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT with terms “biodiversity”, “climate change” and “agriculture” in the Scopus, Web of Science and Scielo databases. The results identified that there were at least 99 topics in Web of Science (99 topics), Scopus (155 topics) and Scielo (36 topics) that show the loss of biodiversity due to climate change and the expansion of intensive agriculture with consequences, not only in the regions surrounding the crops in question, but also indirectly in the mountain regions through the consumption of soybean in animals and derivatives in humans. It is concluded that biodiversity as a provider of food and disease prevention for humanity contributes to sustainability and, therefore, its preservation requires the adoption of aggressive public policies within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

“…Over recent decades, threatened food security due to rapid worldwide population growth has led to efforts in increasing agricultural food production [1,2]. However, highyielding agriculture leads to plenty of crop residues being left in the field after harvest, which is detrimental to seeding operation, seed germination, and early plant growth [3][4][5][6].…”

High-yielding agriculture in an intensive rice–wheat rotation system leads to plenty of residues left in the field after harvest, which is detrimental to seeding operation, seed germination, and early plant growth. Some residue thus needs to be incorporated into the soil. Providing the relationship between tillage operations and residue incorporation and establishing a mathematical model play important roles in residue management and the design of tillage machinery. In order to obtain detailed data on the interaction between residue incorporation and tillage operations, a multifunctional field-testing bench with precise parameter control was developed to assess residue incorporation characteristics of rotary tillage, and we investigated the effects of straw length, stubble height and rotary speed on residue incorporation. Three experimental factors affecting residue incorporation performance were studied, i.e., six lengths of straw (30–150 mm), four heights of stubble (50–200 mm), and three rotary speeds (240–320 rpm). Chopped straw and stubble with certain sizes were prepared for the test, and we measured the burying rate and distribution uniformity of residue after rotary tillage. The results indicated that straw length, stubble height, and rotary speed all impact residue incorporation quality. The burying rate and distribution uniformity of residue decreased with the increase in straw length and stubble height; a lower rotary speed parameter buried less residue and distributed it with worse uniformity than a higher one. It is suggested that farmers determine the straw length and stubble height at the stage of harvest according to the required burying rate and distribution uniformity of residue.
