Evaluating the productivity of ancient Pu’er tea trees (Camellia sinensis var. assamica): a multivariate modeling approach

“…Data from the WorldClim database are averaged and interpolated to rasterize the data on maps, which may not be accurate enough for modeling data from individual trees. Our approach could be refined by establishing monitoring points near these ancient tea trees and collecting data regularly, especially in light of the recent impacts of climate change on trees [ 2 ].…”

“…The demand for economically productive plant resources is increasing as the human population continues to grow [ 1 ]. Although there have always been trade-offs between economic growth and nature conservation [ 2 ], an increase in agricultural productivity (yield) of 60–120% in 2030 relative to 2005 is needed to meet projected increases in demand [ 3 ]. Many studies have characterized the relationships of plant productivity with species richness [ 4 ] and climate [ 5 ], the effects of crown attributes and stand structure on tree productivity [ 6 ], and the effects of management policies on plant productivity [ 7 ].…”

“…Tea is consumed by over three billion people across 160 countries, making it one of the world’s most popular beverages [ 9 , 10 ]. Its management as a cash crop plays an important role in rural poverty reduction [ 2 , 11 ] and economic growth. Teas are known to provide benefits to human health and well-being, such as decreasing the risk of cancer [ 12 ], cancer recurrence [ 13 ], and cardiovascular and nervous system diseases [ 14 ].…”

Nature-Based Herbicides and Micro-/Nanotechnology Fostering Sustainable Agriculture

“…12 Furthermore, sustainable agricultural and food security development were topics addressed by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the United Nations for developed and developing countries. 13 From this perspective, using natural compounds as bioherbicides represents an attractive option to reduce agricultural reliance on synthetic herbicides. Bioherbicides are safe, environmentally friendly, and less persistent than synthetic herbicides.…”

The Ramification of Teachers’ Socio-Demographic Attributes on Their Self-Efficacious Beliefs Responding to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 “Well-Being”: A Fact-Finding Study

“…Focusing on the global intention of SDGs, it is important to nd out the relative worth of SDGs across different counties, emphasizing the need for distinguishing policy signi cance after evolving the 2030 UN agenda (De Neve & Sachs, 2020; Hoang et al, 2022). Promoting well-being among all age groups is a global agenda (Katila et al, 2019) that has been acquiring international and global practices and strategy urgency for the last…”
