Climate change mitigation and adaptation are essential issues at many summit meetings. Environmental assessment is a possible tool to describe the potential sequestration of carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. The forest carbon stock and life cycle assessment approach was used here to analyze poplar plantations in Hungary. This study aims to describe the research trends of environmental assessment of poplar plantations in Hungary using VOSviewer software. A total of 1,528 documents from the Scopus database were used in this research. VOSviewer analysis was conducted to detail the bibliometric maps from generic (“forest” OR “forestry” AND “Hungary”), medium (“poplar” AND “Hungary”), and specific (“poplar” AND “carbon” AND “Hungary” / (“poplar” AND “life cycle assessment”) OR (“LCA” AND “Hungary”). The findings show that the number of documents on forest research in Hungary has increased significantly since the 2000s. However, items on environmental assessment, either forest carbon or life cycle assessment, produced only a tiny number with weak links. In conclusion, i). the large number of collected documents produced more clusters; ii). The item of Hungary is the most frequently used keyword in the research article; and iii). The research theme of environmental assessment (carbon sequestration and life cycle assessment) of poplar plantations in Hungary is the continuing lack of knowledge. Furthermore, the research on biodiversity and climate change mitigation (carbon stock and sequestration) were prominent topics that many researchers do. In the future, research on climate change mitigation through the life cycle assessment to analyze global warming potential (GWP) from forestry activities is a prospective research topic to enrich the study on poplar bioenergy plantations.

“…Crop production and operation can be divided into multiple stages: field preparation, planting, fertilizer application, growing, harvesting, and storage ( Polgár et al, 2020 ). To achieve an optimal planting schedule that will bring about a consistent weekly harvesting quantity, it is vital to determine these stages correctly.…”

Technology advancement has contributed significantly to productivity improvement in the agricultural sector. However, field operation and farm resource utilization remain a challenge. For major row crops, designing an optimal crop planting strategy is crucial since the planting dates are contingent upon weather conditions and storage capacity. This manuscript proposes a two-stage decision support system to optimize planting decisions, considering weather uncertainties and resource constraints. The first stage involves creating a weather prediction model for Growing Degree Units (GDUs). In the second stage, the GDUs prediction from the first stage is incorporated to formulate an optimization model for the planting schedule. The efficacy of the proposed model is demonstrated through a case study based on Syngenta Crop Challenge (2021). It has been shown that the 1D-CNN model outperforms other prediction models with an RRMSE of 7 to 8% for two different locations. The decision-making model in the second stage provides an optimal planting schedule such that weekly harvested quantities will be evenly allocated utilizing a minimum number of harvesting weeks. We analyzed the model performance for two scenarios: fixed and flexible storage capacity at multiple geographic locations. Results suggest that the proposed model can provide an optimized planting schedule considering planting window and storage capacity. The model has also demonstrated its robustness under multiple scenarios.

Formulation of Development Strategies for Regional Agricultural Resource Potential: The Ukrainian Case

et al. 2021

The agricultural sector is one of the leading ones in the economy of many countries, as it creates the basis for their economic growth. Every region in every country has its own unique sphere of social reproduction due to different resource potential, i.e., fertile soils, favourable climatic conditions, etc. Under such conditions, it is irrelevant to choose a single development path for this sector. Given these facts, the study formulates development strategies for regional agricultural development of the country. In particular, we grouped regions into clusters according to the level of development of crop production and stockbreeding potential, as well as investment attractiveness. The method of cluster analysis was used to group regions by the level of capacity development, whilst the matrix method was used to formulate a matrix for choice of the strategy to improve the agricultural potential of regions. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the 3D matrix for the choice of investment strategy of the regional agricultural development of the country depending on the level of development of crop production and stockbreeding potential and investment attractiveness was constructed.
