Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making. by Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell

“…Both outcomes are subject to the responses of individual land managers to economic and environmental stimuli, and these responses are known to be variable and often (economically) irrational. We investigate the consequences of stylised food security policies and globalisation of agricultural markets on land use patterns under a variety of modelled forms of land manager behaviour, including variation in production levels, tenacity, land use intensity and multi-functionality. …”

Comparison of river and drinking water quality of infiltration intakes based on statistical colour data by Yalaletdinova Alina, Malkova Maria, Vozhdaeva Margarita, Serebryakov Pavel, Kantor Evgeny

“…A significant contribution (79 to 89%) to the variation of the indicator in drinking water is made by random variable. Correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages revealed a weak relationship (on the Cheddock scale) between river and drinking water colour, whereas correlation coefficients calculated from monthly averages of colour in the model year characterise the relationship at IWI1 as high and very high at IWI2. …”
