Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Variable Rate Nitrogen Application using a ground-based optical Crop Sensor

Authors Medel Jimenez, Francisco Abstract Optical crop sensors can help to mitigate environmental impacts caused by crop cultivation. These sensors allow farmers to vary the rate of nitrogen application based on crop requirements. Nevertheless, the use of these sensors may carry additional environmental burdens due to their manufacturing and use together with the direct effects [...]

Digital Ecosystems as a Basis for Circular Business Networks

Authors Braun, Anja-Tatjana; Steinbiß, Kristina Abstract Digital ecosystems transcend the traditional, rigorously defined, collaborative environments from centralised, distributed or hybrid models into an open, flexible, demand-driven and interactive environment. A digital ecosystem is a new-networked architecture and collaborative environment that addresses the weakness of existing network relationships. Previous considerations of digital ecosystems are usually limited [...]
