Life cycle assessment in cattle farming systems: a review of approaches, goals and scopes by Marco Berton, Salvatore Raniolo, Enrico Sturaro, Maurizio Ramanzin

“…Use of on-farm collected data increased between 2010–2024, but mitigation-assessment studies relied more on modelled-farm data. Most studies used a few impact categories (IC) – global warming (GWP), acidification (AP), eutrophication (EP) potentials – and one (product-based) functional unit (FU), and very few explored relations between ICs and FUs. …”

A method integrating a non-stationary random field for constrained inversion of CSAMT data by Qianwei DAI, Luyao GUO, Yun WU, Zhexian XIONG, Dan DUAN, Zhonglin BAO, Hongfei WU, Fengyun HAO

“…To tackle these two issues, especially the over-smoothing effect caused by traditional regularization methods in estimating complex geological structures, this study proposed an improved regularization inversion method to reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of subsurface physical property parameters more accurately. MethodsThe proposed method was developed using the method for establishing the stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) based on the Matérn covariance function. …”
