The shortage of water and land resources continues to affect the sustainable development of the ecological carrying capacity. Thus, a comprehensive evaluation method of water and land resource carrying capacity based on ecological footprint theory and spatial analysis with geographic information system (GIS) is proposed. The method aims to correct the following flaws in the evaluation of carrying capacity of water and land resources: (1) less consideration of the coupling performance of water and land resources, and (2) the lack of objective analysis on the weights of different water and land resource types. The method is applied in a case study of the Jing-Jin-Ji region, China. The results show that half of the cities in the Jing-Jin-Ji region are under uncoordinated and unsustainable status on water and land resources. Especially in Beijing and Tianjin, water and land resources are running an ecological deficit under “extremely uncoordinated” (less than 0.5 in the study years). And for the sustainable level, the ecological carrying capacity shows a deficit under unsustainable status in Beijing, Tianjin and the central and south part of Hebei province (−0.05 hm<sup>2</sup> for water resources in Xingtai, Handan and Hengshui, less than −0.2 hm<sup>2</sup> for land resources in Baoding and Cangzhou).

Here, we review the literature on the Australian irrigated grains sector and show that yield gains have not progressed since 2002. We reveal a concerning trend of increasing demand for irrigation water on the one hand, yet declining availability of irrigation water on the other. We show that yield gains of Australian irrigated crops have not progressed since 2002, although the use of irrigation water has declined since 2013 and water-use efficiency of irrigated crops has marginally increased. These trends suggest that productivity gains realised by the adoption of new technology, skills and practices over time (including new crop genotypes, larger machinery, reduced tillage, automated irrigation sensors etc) have not been enough to overcome background changes in climatic and economic factors that influence yields of irrigated crops at the continental scale. We highlight a cruel irony that despite having the ability to alleviate water stress, farmers with access to irrigation are still very much dependent on rainfall, because low rainfall reduces regional irrigation supply and elevates water prices, making use of irrigation financially unviable. This, together with hastened crop development and higher risk of heat-induced floret sterility, has meant that the climate emergency has detrimentally impacted on yield gains of irrigated crops, although detrimental impacts have been mediated by rising atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>. We conclude that the greatest potential for improving the profitability and water-use efficiency of irrigated crops may be through adoption of integrated combinations of site-specific whole farm packages, including contextualised agronomic, financial and engineering interventions. Appropriate decision support system (DSS) frameworks can help users unpack some of this complexity, enabling land stewards to tactically navigate volatile climatic and market conditions to strategically plan for improved economic resilience and reduced climatic risk.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100192"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666049022000706/pdfft?md5=74edbd3ea5ca12c0524da92146aa0be2&pid=1-s2.0-S2666049022000706-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54098878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insufficient knowledge on rattan distribution and growth rate in Cameroon jeopardizes the sustainable management of its resource base. It was in this context that this study was initiated to (i) determine economically important rattan species and their distribution; (ii) identify their habitats and conservation status; (iii) examine harvester's perceptions/observations on annual growth rate and age of maturity. Findings revealed that <em>Eremospatha macrocarpa</em> exists in all AEZs, <em>Calamus deerratus</em> was found in AEZ 2 & 5, <em>Laccosperma secundiflorum</em>, <em>L.

They grow in diverse habitat/environments with some habitats/environments specifically suitable for some rattan species. The current conservation status of commercial rattan species identified shows Least Concern (LC), but resource scarcity is high. Most harvesters observed that rattan takes either 2–3 years (51%) or 4–5 years (35%) to attain maturity. The harvesters' observation on the annual growth rate of economic rattan species varied in relation to the species and AEZs. However, overall 25% and 23% of the respondents observed a growth rate of 2–3 m and 3–4 m respectively. Kruskal-Wallis test shows a significant variation in harvesters' observations in the different AEZs for all growth and maturity parameters of different rattan species (<em>p</em> < 0.05) except for the number of years it takes for rattan to attain maturity (<em>p</em> > 0.05)”. All five economically important rattan species are widely distributed in the Southern part of Cameroon. The availability of <em>E. macrocarpa</em> in all zones indicates its great adaptation to different climatic and ecological conditions. Increasing the rattan resource base will involve its domestication, especially in the southern part of Cameroon where all rattan species thrive. The findings of this study are important for policymakers and development planners who seek to ensure the sustainable harvesting and management of the rattan resource base in Cameroon.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34472,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Environmental Sustainability","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100151"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666049022000299/pdfft?md5=0e98e1a9b8103cac837e3178174fca60&pid=1-s2.0-S2666049022000299-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54098249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this objective, we apply the technique of panel auto regression distributed lag (PARDL) to a panel data of selected SSA economies<span><sup>1</sup></span> spanning from 1990 to 2018. Results from the analysis confirm the presence of a significant long run relationship between economic growth, renewable energy, emissions of GHG and gross fixed capital formation. On the economic pillar of sustainability, the findings indicate that renewable energy and real gross fixed capital formation exert positive and significant impacts on long run growth of SSA countries. Furthermore, the environmental pillar of sustainability results show that real GDP and real gross fixed capital formation exert positive and significant impacts on emissions of GHG while renewable energy exerts negative and significant impact on emissions of GHG. We further apply the Granger causality technique pioneered by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (D<img>H), (2012). Findings from the analysis show that long-run feedback effects exist between real GDP, renewable energy and gross fixed capital formation; unidirectional causality runs from renewable energy to CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. We draw inference that the impacts of renewable energy on SSA's growth is positive while the impact of renewable energy on SSA's emissions of GHG is negative.
