“…This issue also includes the work by Zhou et al (2017), who investigated the irrigation water consumption, fertilizer utilization and soil quality in both Stevia and maize cultivating fields in order to explore the possibility of adopting Stevia as a new cash crop for sustainable agricultural management in Zhangye Oasis. Furthermore, den Hartog (2017) studied rural to urban transitions at Shanghai's fringes.…”
