Sustainable wheat production is of paramount importance for attaining/maintaining the food self-sufficiency status of the rapidly growing nation of Pakistan. However, the average wheat yield per unit area has been dwindling in recent years and the climate-induced variations in rainfall patterns and temperature regimes, during the wheat growth period, are believed to be the reason behind this decline. Crop growth simulation models are powerful tools capable of playing pivotal role in evaluating the climate change impacts on crop yield or productivity. This study was aimed to predict the plausible variations in the wheat yield for future climatic trends so that possible mitigation strategies could be explored. For this purpose, Aquacrop model v. 4.0 was employed to simulate the wheat yield under present and future climatology of the largest agricultural province of Punjab in Pakistan. The data related to crop phenology, management and yield were collected from the experimental plots to calibrate and validate the model. The future climate projections were statistically downscaled from five general circulation models (GCMs) and compared with the base line climate from 1980 to 2010. The model was fed with the projected climate to simulate the wheat yield based on the RCP (representative concentration pathways) 4.5 and 8.5. Under the worst, most likely future scenario of temperature rise and rainfall reduction, the crop yield decreased and water footprint, especially blue, increased, owing to the elevated irrigation demands due to accelerated evapotranspiration rates. The modeling results provided in this study are expected to provide a basic framework for devising policy responses to minimize the climate change impacts on wheat production in the area.

Bioethanol derived from lignocellulosic biomass has the potential to replace gasoline. Cellulose is naturally recalcitrant to enzymatic attack, and it also surrounded by the matrix of xylan and lignin, which enhances the recalcitrance. Therefore, lignocellulosic materials must be pretreated to make the cellulose easily degraded into sugars and further fermented to ethanol. In this work, hydrothermal pretreatment on corn stover at $195^{\circ}C$ for 15 min with and without lower concentration of formic acid was compared in terms of sugar recoveries and ethanol fermentation. For pretreatment with formic acid, the overall glucan recovery was 89% and pretreatment without formic acid yielded the recovery of 94%. Compared with glucan, xylan was more sensitive to the pretreatment condition. The lowest xylan recovery of 55% was obtained after pretreatment with formic acid and the highest of 75% found following pretreatment without formic acid. Toxicity tests of liquor parts showed that there were no inhibitions found for both pretreatment conditions. After simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of the pretreated corn stover with Baker's yeast, the highest ethanol yield of 76.5% of the theoretical was observed from corn stover pretreated at $195^{\circ}C$ for 15 min with formic acid.

The study examined overuse of the fishery resource. Influence of fishing activity was estimated by application of Schaefer model's. Fishing efforts that produced the maximum sustainable yield were determined in the model, allowing the effect of overfishing to be assessed. In the model, a wide variety of fish species as well as crustaceans and shellfish were susceptible to overfishing, while mollusks were not. Overfishing by modern techniques exacted a greater toll than more traditional methods. The results of the modeling study suggest that the 'Buy bag' input-control system of fisheries resource management warrants consideration, as does modernization, expansion and strengthening of self-control management of the fishery resource. Finally, more effective efforts in dissemination of policy information and education concerning the fishery resource are needed.

Nowadays, sustainable and environment-friendly agriculture has become an important issue all around the world, and repeated applications of mineral and/or organic fertilizer will probably affect mineral nutrient dynamics in soil in the long term but only a limited number of observations are available. This study was carried out to investigate whether there is any influence of different fertilizer management for red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivation on soil physicochemical properties, leaf mineral content, yield and fruit quality in the aspect of long-term practice in open field condition. NPK, NPK+compost, compost only, and unfertilized control plot were included in the treatments. The application of chemical fertilizer and/or compost repeated annually for 17 years from 1994 to 2011. Soil organic matter content was higher in compost treatments than in no-manure treatments. Available phosphate and the yield of red pepper were highest in NPK+compost treatment followed by NPK (chemical fertilizer), compost, and control. The results indicate that in the long term, nitrogen supply is still needed for increasing red pepper yield, but reduction in the use of chemical fertilizer could be also possible with the proper application of compost.

This study sought to find which model is most appropriate for estimating potential yield in the East Sea, Republic of Korea. For comparison purposes, the Process-error model, ASPIC model, Maximum entropy model, Observation-error model, and Bayesian state-space model were applied using data from catch amounts and total efforts of the whole catchable fishes in the East Sea. Results showed that the Bayesian state-space model was estimated to be the most reliable among the models. Potential yield of catchable species was estimated to be 227,858 tons per year. In addition, it was analyzed that the amount of fishery resources in 2016 was about 63% of the biomass that enables a fish stock to deliver the maximum sustainable yield.

Climate change phenomenon is posing a serious threat to sustainable corn production in Ghana. This study investigated the impacts of climate change on the rain-fed corn yield in the Dangme East district, Ghana by using Aquacrop model with a daily weather data set of 22-year from 1992 to 2013. Analysis of the weather data showed that the area is facing a warming trend as the numbers of years hotter and drier than the normal seemed to be increasing. Aquacrop model was assessed using the limited observed data to verify model's sufficiency, and showed credible results of $R^2$ and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE). In order to simulate the corn yield response to climate variability four climate change scenarios were designed by varying long-term average temperature in the range of ${\pm}1^{\circ}C{\sim}{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ and average annual rainfall to ${\pm}5%{\sim}{\pm}30%$, respectively. Generally, the corn yield was negatively correlated to temperature rise and rainfall reduction. Rainfall variations showed more prominent impacts on the corn yield than that of temperature variations. The reduction in average rainfall would instantly limit the crop growth rate and the corn yield irrespective of the temperature variations.

본 연구는 한국에서 상업적 중요성을 가지며 국민 선호도가 높은 살오징어의 자원상태를 파악해 보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 살오징어 자원평가 연구와의 차별성으로 두 가지를 고려하였다. 첫째, 한국에서 살오징어를 어획하는 업종들의 어획 자료를 자원평가 분석에 최대한 활용하였다. 둘째, 살오징어를 공동 어획하는 인접국인 중국과 일본의 어획 자료를 모두 포함하여 자원평가를 실시하였다. 구체적인 분석에 있어서는 어획량 기반 자원평가 모델인 Monte Carlo 방법을 활용한 CMSY(catch-maximum sustainable yield) 모델과 Schaefer 함수를 기반으로 한 Bayesian state-space(BSS) 모델을 이용하여 활용 가능한 자료의 종류와 범위에 따라 '한국' 그리고 '한·중·일'로 해역 범위를 구분하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 살오징어 자원량은 감소하는 추세를 보이고 있으며, 현재 최대지속어획량을 달성할 수 있는 자원량 수준보다 낮은 것으로 추정되었다. 살오징어 자원을 지속적으로 이용하기 위해서는 개별 국가들의 적극적인 자원관리 노력이 필요하며, 특히 한·중·일 공동 자원조사 및 평가 그리고 관리 방안 마련이 필요하다.

The experiment fields consisted of five plots as follows; 2, 4, and $8\;tons{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ citrus skin in combination with starch sludge and pig manure mixing compost (CSSP), $4\;ton{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ fermented pig manure compost (FPMC) treated plot, and untreated control. Plant height and stem diameter were significantly increased by CSSP. Most of all, average tuber weight and tuber yield per plant were significantly increased in 4 and $8\;tons{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ CSSP plots compared to the other plots. Marketable tuber (>50 g fresh weight) yield were superior in order of 4 and $8\;tons{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ CSSP plot, $4\;tons{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ FPMC plot, and $2\;tons{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ CSSP plot.

Macronutrients ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$), yield and yield components, bioaccumulation and translocation of metal in plant parts of three Vigna species (V. cylindrica, V. mungo, V. radiata) were evaluated at 0, 50, 100 and $150mgkg^{-1}$ soil of Nickel (Ni). A marked inhibition (p < 0.001) in the distribution of various macronutrients was noticed in these Vigna species except for $Mg^{2+}$ content of the shoot and leaves. Similarly, all species retained more $Ca^{2+}$ in their roots (p < 0.05) as compared to the aerial tissues. Ni induced a drastic decline (p < 0.001) for various yield and yield attributes except for 100 seed weight. Toxicity and accumulation of Ni in plant tissues considerably increased in a concentration dependent manner. Vigna species signify an exclusion approach for Ni tolerance as both bioaccumulation factor (BF) and translocation factor (TF) were less than 1.0. The Ni content of plants being root > shoot > leaves > seeds. Scoring for percentage stimulation and inhibition (respective to control) at varying levels of Ni revealed tolerance of the species in an order of V. radiata > V. cylindrica > V. mungo. The acquisition of Ni tolerance in V. radiata seems to occur through an integrated mechanism of metal tolerance that includes sustainable macronutrients uptake, stronger roots due to greater deposition of $Ca^{2+}$in the roots, restricted transfer of Ni to above ground tissues and seeds as well as exclusion capacity of the roots to bind appreciable amount of metal to them. Thus, metal tolerant potential of V. radiata could be of great significance to remediate metal contaminated soil owing lesser impact of Ni on macro-nutrients, hence the yield.

본 연구는 최적화된 자원량을 기반으로 최대 생산성을 얻을 수 있는 잠재생산량 추정을 통한 어족자원(꺽지)의 효율적 관리방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 섬진강 중 상류 수계에서 2008년 8월부터 2009년 4월까지 계절별로 총 4회 조사를 실시하였다. 자원량 추정은 소해면 적법(Swept Area method)을 이용하였으며, 잠재생산량은 생물학적 허용어획량(Allowable Biological Catch, ABC)에 기초한 어족자원 잠재력 추정시스템을 수정 보완하여 사용하였다. 또한, 꺽지 자원의 효율적인 관리 방안을 검토하기 위해 가입당생산량모델(Beverton and Holt)을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 어획개시연령($t_c$)은 1.464 age로 나타났으며, 이를 체장으로 환산한 결과 7.8 cm(BL)로 확인되었다. 현재 어획강도를 나타내는 순간어획사망계수(F)는 0.061 $year^{-1}$이었으며, 이를 기준으로 한가입당 생산량(Y/R)은 4.124 g로 추정되었다. 어획개시연령($t_c$)과 순간어획사망계수(F)를 기준으로 한 적정어획사망계수($F_{ABC}$)는 0.401 $year^{-1}$로 추정되었는데 이는 현재 꺽지 자원에 대한 어획강도가 매우 낮은 상태임을 시사한다. 꺽지의 연간 자원량은 3,048 kg으로 나타났으며, 현재 어획개시연령과 적정어획사망계수를($F_{ABC}$)를 바탕으로 한 잠재생산량은 861 kg으로 추정되었다. 가입당 생산량 모델을 사용하여 어획개시연령을 3 age로 어획사망계수는 0.643 $year^{-1}$로 가정할 경우, 가입당 생산량은 현재의 4.12 g에서 13.84 g로 약 3.4배 증가될 것으로 예상되었다.
