Does hydropower growth threaten fish security under the pathway of sustainable development? Evidence from European Union economies

Mohd Alsaleh et al.

Summary: This research explores the impact of hydropower growth on fish supply in European Union Region nations from 1990 to 2019. The study finds that the growth in hydropower production reduces fish supply, while human population density and economic growth also contribute to the decline. On the other hand, institutional quality and expenditure increase fish species and numbers. The study suggests that boosting the quantity of hydropower production with operational procedures could effectively minimize fish supply in the European Union Region.

Oil revenue and agriculture value-added in oil-exporting countries: does the role of real exchange rate matter?

Rizgar Abdlkarim Abdlaziz et al.

Summary: The study found that oil revenue has a direct negative impact on agricultural value-added, but this impact is moderated by the real effective exchange rate in the long run. Specifically, in major oil-exporting countries, the appreciation of the real exchange rate exacerbates the negative impact of oil revenue on agricultural value-added; while in minor oil-exporting countries, the appreciation of the real exchange rate mitigates the negative impact of oil revenue on agricultural value-added.

Artificial flooding changes soil chemistry and carbon dynamics in upland forests next to hydropower plant in Amazon basin

Guilherme Henrique Almeida Pereira et al.

Summary: The establishment of hydropower plants has reduced upland forest cover in the Amazon basin, leading to long-term effects on soil chemistry in adjacent upland forests due to artificial flooding. Short-term flooding causes soil acidification, carbon loss, and increased nutrient availability, whereas long-term effects include soil acidity decrease, carbon loss, and cumulative decrease in available nitrogen levels.

Dynamic game in agriculture and industry cross-sectoral water pollution governance in developing countries

Lu Xiao et al.

Summary: Agriculture in developing countries is heavily subsidized, with minimal environmental restrictions, leading to water pollution from excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Research shows that when agricultural and industrial sectors work together to reduce water pollution, the level of common pollutants decreases, while damage is lower when both sectors participate in mitigation measures independently.
