A multi‐criteria decision‐making approach for assembling optimal powertrain technology portfolios in low GHG emission environments
; ; (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021-05-13)
Environmental regulations force car manufacturers to renew the powertrain technology portfolio offered to the customer to comply with greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets. In turn, automotive companies face the task of ... -
A new analysis approach for long-term variations of forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation resulting from road-network expansion using Landsat time-series and object-based image analysis
; ; (Land Degradation & Development, 2020)
Despite facilitating transport by low-volume roads for multiple purposes, these roads also open corridors to the remote pristine forests and accelerate forest dynamics with deleterious consequences to the forest functionalities ... -
A review of the ecosystem functions in oil palm plantations, using forests as a reference system
; ; ; ; ; ; ;; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Biological Reviews, 2016)
Oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly in recent decades. This large-scale land-use change has had great ecological, economic, and social impacts on both the areas converted to oil palm and their surroundings. However, ... -
Adoption of multiple sustainable land management practices among irrigator rural farm households of Ethiopia
; ; (Land Degradation & Development, 2021-09-29)
Using a household and plot‐level survey conducted in Ethiopia, this study analyses the difference in farmers' adoption of sustainable land management (SLM) practices between their rainfed and irrigated plots. The paper ... -
