Abstract
Climate change poses significant threats to Nigeria's agricultural sector, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance crop resilience and sustainability. This systematic review aims to synthesize existing literature on the role of chemistry in climate-smart agriculture (CSA) in Nigeria, focusing on chemical interventions that promote crop resilience, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance sustainability. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Studies published in English between 2010 and 2023 were eligible for inclusion. This review provided insights into chemical amendments enhancing soil fertility and crop yield, effective chemical pesticides for managing pests and diseases, optimal chemical fertilizer applications reducing greenhouse gas emissions and policy and regulatory frameworks supporting chemistry-based CSA practices. The study aimed to inform policy and decision-making on climate-resilient agricultural practices, identifying knowledge gaps and areas for future research.
气候变化对尼日利亚农业部门构成重大威胁,需要创新的解决方案来提高作物的抗灾能力和可持续性。本系统综述旨在综合关于化学在尼日利亚气候智能型农业(CSA)中的作用的现有文献,重点关注化学干预措施促进作物抗灾能力、减少温室气体排放和增强可持续性。利用Scopus、Web of Science、PubMed和谷歌Scholar数据库进行了全面的文献检索。2010年至2023年间用英语发表的研究符合纳入条件。本文综述了化学改良剂提高土壤肥力和作物产量、有效防治病虫害的化学农药、减少温室气体排放的最佳化肥施用以及支持基于化学的CSA实践的政策和监管框架等方面的见解。该研究旨在为气候适应型农业实践的政策和决策提供信息,确定知识差距和未来研究的领域。
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
