Impact assessment revisited: improving the theoretical basis for management of invasive alien species
TL;DR: A habitat-sensitive formula for regional impact assessment that is unaffected by non-linearity is proposed and some statistical suggestions on how to assess invader effects properly are made and the quantification of the invaded range is discussed.
On-farm cocoa yields increase with canopy cover of shade trees in two agro-ecological zones in Ghana
Richard Asare,Richard Asare,Bo Markussen,Rebecca Ashley Asare,Gilbert J. Anim-Kwapong,Anders Ræbild +5 more
TL;DR: Despite Ghana's large contribution to global cocoa production, average yields are low as mentioned in this paper, and policymakers and practitioners are calling for implementation of a climate smart strategy by increasing yields in Ghana.

TL;DR: Overall the quality of tomatoes was safe for human consumption since the disease risk found on Crete was based on only two contaminated tomato samples, and the use of tap water and treated wastewater to be associated with risks that exceed permissible limits as proposed by the World Health Organization.

Probabilistic environmental risk characterization of pharmaceuticals in sewage treatment plant discharges.
TL;DR: By applying probabilistic approaches, existing data can be used to execute a comprehensive study on probability of impacts, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive environmental risk assessment of pharmaceuticals.

Influences of shading and fertilization on on-farm yields of cocoa in Ghana
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of varying canopy cover and fertilization on cocoa yields was investigated, showing that there was a positive effect of increased canopy cover on yields within the shaded plots and no significant differences between shaded and no-shaded plots.
