Africa, Leguminosae 1: 11. 1959) have treated either untraced Patrick Browne material, or his published description (Civ. Nat. Hist. Jamaica: 362. 1758), as the type. However, Panigrahi (1985) treated what is clearly 1228.11 (LINN), material cultivated in the Botanic Garden in Uppsala, as the type. As M. gigas is validated solely by reference to Browne’s work, the name should be typified from the context of that publication (Art. 7.7). However, as no relevant Browne material has been traced, and there is no illustration in his book, Panigrahi’s choice is accepted as a neotypification (Art. 9.8).

Does Gut Function Limit Hummingbird Food Intake?

description: Many nectar-feeding bird species decrease food intake when sugar concentration in food is increased. This feeding response can be explained by two alternative hypotheses: compensatory feeding and physiological constraint. The compensatory feeding hypothesis predicts that if birds vary intake to maintain a constant energy intake to match energy expenditures, then they should increase intake when expenditures are increased. Broad-tailed hummingbirds were presented with sucrose solutions at four concentrations (292, 584, 876, and 1,168 mmol L-1) and exposed to two environmental temperatures (10° and 22° C). Birds decreased volumetric food intake in response to sugar concentration. However, when they were exposed to a relatively sudden drop in environmental temperature and, hence, to an acute increase in thermoregulatory energy expenditures, they did not increase their rate of energy consumption and lost mass. These results support the existence of a physiological constraint on feeding intake. A simple chemical reactor model based on intestinal morphology and in vitro measurements of sucrose hydrolysis predicted observed intake rates closely. This model suggests that intestinal sucrose hydrolysis rates were near maximal and, thus, may have imposed limits to sugar assimilation. Although sugar assimilation was high (95%), the proportions of excreted sucrose, glucose, and fructose found in excreta differed significantly. The monosaccharides glucose and fructose were about eight and three times more abundant than sucrose, respectively. Broad-tailed hummingbirds are small high-altitude endotherms that face unpredictable weather and the energetic expense of premigratory fattening. Digestive processes have the potential to impose severe challenges to their energy budgets.

RESPONSES OF RECENT BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA TO METAL POLLUTION IN SOUTH WEST ENGLAND ESTUARIES: A STUDY OF IMPACT AND CHANGE

description: There was a major discharge into Restronguet Creek, south-west Cornwall in January 1992 of metalled acidic mine water drainage from the recently closed Wheal Jane tin mine. Shortly after this discharge a post-impact study using the responses of Recent benthic foraminifera as indicators of metal pollution was carried out on this Creek which had not been investigated previously. Because of a lack of pre-discharge foraminiferal data from Restronguet Creek, other estuaries, which previously drained metal mining regions, have been sampled in order to determine the background levels in foraminiferal populations. These estuaries, Fowey (Cornwall), Avon and Erme (south-west Devon) have not been investigated previously. The research programme included reconnaissance sampling of the estuaries Looe, Yealm, Kingsbridge, Axe and Carrick Roads (south-west England), primarilly to determine the geographical distribution of the agglutinated species. In all, 651 samples were taken for micropalaeontological and laser analysis from which an estimated 260,000 tests have been picked and some 70 species identified. A further 395 samples were taken for metal, carbon, nitrogen, sediment grain size and mineralogical analysis. The results of this research show changes over time with the colonisation of barren stations, increased abundance of living individuals, reduced proportions of deformed tests, less severe acid dissolution of the test walls and a seasonal species distribution which is similar to that of the Fowey Estuary. Low diversity is unchanged and the agglutinating foraminifera, which form distinct assembage zones in the control estuaries, remain absent from Restronguet Creek. The data provided by the short cores from Restronguet Creek suggest that the 1992 discharge does not account for the absence of these species. During the period of investigation the sediment-bound metals in terms of the concentrations have, in general, increased but the river water quality entering the Creek has improved in terms of metals and acidity. This suggests that the foraminifera are more directly influenced by metals in solution and that tangible benefits have been gained from the water quality improvement programme inaugurated by the Environment Agency.
MICROBIALLY-MEDIATED METHYL IODIDE CYCLING IN A PARTICLE-RICH ESTUARY
Creators: name: ASARE, NOBLE KWAME
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2007

description: The dynamics of aquatic systems (e.g. estuarine systems) are known to facilitate the formation of particle aggregates. These nutrient-rich particulate matter provide suitable substrate for bacteria colonization. Although bacteria-aggregate association is known to result in the degradation of particulate organic matter (POM) in aquatic systems, it has never been attributed to the production of methyl iodide (CH3I) (an environmentally important biogas that has the potential to impact on atmospheric chemistry). From literature, there are evidences which suggest that, certain bacteria (methylotrophs) are capable of oxidizing methyl halides including CH3I. Therefore this study investigates microbial production and removal of CH3I in estuarine water through their association with aggregates and assesses the effect of physicochemical variables on bacterial-mediated production and removal of CH3I. From the study, bacteria-aggregate processes were found to elevate the concentration of CH3I between 15-22% of the total observed CH3I concentration over the study period. Aggregate-attached bacteria which were estimated to represent about 17% of the total bacteria population were responsible for about 37% of the overall bacterial activity. To investigate bacterial-mediated removal of CH3I in estuarine systems, a reliable and reproducible method through adaptations and modifications of existing methods was developed. This method involved the use of [14C] radiolabelled CH3I to estimate bacterial utilization of CH3I. The application of the method confirmed the removal of CH3I by methylotrophs in estuarine water with the total recorded amount in bacterial cells and oxidized C02 ranging between 9.3 - 24.5% (depending on the amount of the added substrate). However, this could only represent the potential microbial CH3I removal in the natural aquatic environment. An investigation into spatial and temporal trends in bacterial-mediated removal of CH3I in the Tamar estuary revealed no significant spatial variation but rather a strong seasonality in methylotrophic bacterial CH3I removal. Spatial trends in CH3I removal was found to be mostly influenced by temperature, bacterial abundance and dissolved oxygen concentration whilst the seasonality in the estuary was influenced by temperature, bacterial abundance, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and CH3I concentration. Temperature was identified to be the single most influential physicochemical variable on both spatial and seasonal variation in bacterial CH3I removal in the Tamar estuary. CH3I concentration along the Tamar estuary was also investigated and using this data the total water to air flux of CH3I over the estuary was estimated to be 0.31 x 10³ g yˉ¹. From this study, it was apparent that bacteria activity in estuarine systems is potentially an important source of CH3I in the aquatic environment when associated with aggregates or as sink of CH3I through methylotrophic activity in estuaries.

description: Sensitivity to acid water was assessed in three species of Amazonian fish that encounter naturally acidic blackwaters to differing degrees in the wild: tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), matrincha (Brycon erythropterum), and tamoata (Hoplosternum littorale), in decreasing order of occurrence in blackwater. Fish were exposed to a graded reduction in water pH, from pH 6 to 5 to 4 to 3.5, followed by return to pH 6. Fish were exposed to each new pH for 24 h. During these exposures, net transfers of ions (Na+, K+, Cl-, and Ca2+) and acid-base equivalents to and from the external water were used as physiological indicators of acid tolerance. Exposure to pH 5 had a minimal effect on net ion fluxes. Significant net losses of all ions (except Ca2+) were recorded in all three species during the first few hours of exposure to pH 4. However, ion balance was usually restored within 18 h at pH 4. Exposure to pH 3.5 caused even greater ion losses in all three species and proved to be acutely lethal to tamoata. Matrincha sustained irreversible physiological damage at pH 3.5, as ion fluxes did not recover following return to pH 6 and there was some mortality. Tambaqui suffered the least ionoregulatory disturbances at pH 3.5 and was the only species to make a full recovery on return to pH 6. In all species, there was a tendency for ammonia excretion to increase at low water pH, but even at pH 3.5, there was no significant net uptake of acid from the water. Overall, there was a strong relationship between the magnitude of ionic disturbances and the lethality of exposure to low pH. The relative insensitivity of the ionoregulatory system of tambaqui to low pH indicates that this is a feature of fish native to blackwater systems rather than one that is common to all Amazon fish.

A CONTINUUM MIXTURE THEORY APPROACH TO SEDIMENT TRANSPORT WITH APPLICATION TO TURBULENT OSCILLATORY BOUNDARY LAYERS
Creators: name: ALDRIDGE, JOHN NIGEL
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1990

description: Two aspects of the modelling of suspended sediment transport are investigated. One is the development of a theoretical base for sediment transport models starting from the continuum theory of immiscible mixtures (also know as two-phase flow theories). The other is a comparison with experimental data of numerical predictions from a number of turbulence models for oscillatory, turbulent boundary layer flow containing suspended sediment. A review is given of previous work that has applied continuum mixture theories to the field of sediment transport. Turbulent averaged forms of the mixture equations are presented and, in the dilute particle concentration limit and neglecting the effects of particle inertia, the equations are shown to reduce to those encountered in traditional approaches to modelling suspended sediment concentrations. Likewise, the equations governing the motion of the fluid phase reduce to standard forms, with the effect of the sediment particles appearing as a buoyancy term in the fluid momentum equation. Particle inertia is taken into account by expanding in terms of a non-dimensional parameter, the ratio of the response time of the particle to a characteristic time of the flow. Terms arising from particle inertia are then reduced to correlations for which models are available in the literature. The assumption of dilute particle concentrations is made throughout the derivation. An extensive comparison between a number of turbulence models is made by comparing numerical predictions with experimental data, whilst making the conventional assumption of zero particle inertia. The k - c model was found to perform well, with simpler models also giving reasonable agreement with experiment. Also investigated is the sensitivity of the solution to a number of factors, including: boundary conditions, empirical turbulence constants, and the stratifying effect of the suspended sediment. The effect of including terms associated with particle inertia are investigated in turbulent oscillatory boundary layer flows. This is found to lead to an enhancement of the vertical particle volume flux. However, given the uncertainties of specifying the boundary condition for the concentration at the bed, the effect is probably not of significance for small particles (diameter - 0.1 mm). Larger particles (diameter 0.25 mm) show more significant effects due to their inertia. The difference in mean horizontal velocity between the fluid and particle phases which results from the inclusion of inertia in the particle momentum equations is calculated. This difference is found to be very small.

description: The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 have spurred global interest in the role of coastal wetlands and vegetation in reducing storm surge and flood damages. Evidence that coastal wetlands reduce storm surge and attenuate waves is often cited in support of restoring Gulf Coast wetlands to protect coastal communities and property from hurricane damage. Yet interdisciplinary studies combining hydrodynamic and economic analysis to explore this relationship for temperate marshes in the Gulf are lacking. By combining hydrodynamic analysis of simulated hurricane storm surges and economic valuation of expected property damages, we show that the presence of coastal marshes and their vegetation has a demonstrable effect on reducing storm surge levels, thus generating significant values in terms of protecting property in southeast Louisiana. Simulations for four storms along a sea to land transect show that surge levels decline with wetland continuity and vegetation roughness. Regressions confirm that wetland continuity and vegetation along the transect are effective in reducing storm surge levels. A 0.1 increase in wetland continuity per meter reduces property damages for the average affected area analyzed in southeast Louisiana, which includes New Orleans, by $99-$133, and a 0.001 increase in vegetation roughness decreases damages by $24-$43. These reduced damages are equivalent to saving 3 to 5 and 1 to 2 properties per storm for the average area, respectively.

THE INTERFERENCE FREE DETERMINATION OF SELENIUM IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLINICAL SAMPLES BY ICP-MS
Creators: name: Turner, Justine Clare
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: The determination of selenium in environmental and clinical samples by ICP-MS is complicated by both poor sensitivity and severe interferences resulting from both the sample matrix and the argon plasma. The purpose of this study was to investigate ways of overcoming these problems thus enabling Se to be determined both accurately and precisely. A novel procedure for the accurate determination of selenium in serum using electrothermal vaporisation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ETV-ICP-MS) has been developed. A simple 1:20 dilution of the serum with 1% nitric acid negates the need for a lengthy sample digestion procedure. Several of the interferences normally associated with the analysis of selenium by ICP-MS are successfully eliminated. Analytical method characteristics include; detection limits of approximately 0.l ng gˉ¹ for 77Se and 82Se, short and long term reproducibility between 4.7% and 4.9%, and 3.2% and 3.8% (RSD) for 77Se and 82Se respectively, and accuracy of ±1.81% (77Se) and± 1.10% (82Se) for the certified reference material NIST SRM 1598. Further development of the procedure involved the application of isotope dilution analysis with the measurement of the 82Se/77Se isotope ratio, following spiking with selenium enriched in 77Se. Accuracy (±0-2%) and precision (±1-3%) of the method is demonstrated with the analysis of several certified reference materials (TMRAIN-95, LGC 6010, TMDA-54.2 and NIST 1598) where all results fell within the certified limits. A comparison of the new ETV procedures with established ICP-MS methods involving hydride generation and the use of organic solvents with pneumatic nebulisation was performed. Full uncertainty estimates for each of the procedures investigated were calculated. The uncertainty estimates calculated highlight the improvements in accuracy and precision achievable with isotope dilution analysis, demonstrated by a 2.5 fold improvement in the uncertainty compared with the non-IDMS ETV procedure. The addition of nitrogen and helium to the different Ar gas streams of the ETV-ICP-MS system was performed. The introduction of both nitrogen and helium to the argon nebuliser and outer gas streams, resulted in a reduction in the interference from argon polyatomic species. Careful optimisation of plasma parameters such as RF power and gas flow rates using a plasma containing 50% helium in the argon outer gas stream, successfully gave rise to a 2-fold improvement in the detection limits for 76Se and 78Se compared with an argon only plasma. This study has resulted in the successful development of a high accuracy procedure to determine selenium in both environmental and clinical samples. This is of great importance considering the high level of interest regarding selenium and human health matters and the significance of accurate analytical data.
SOURCES AND STRUCTURES OF COMMONLY OCCURRING HIGHLY BRANCHED ISOPRENOID ALKENES
Creators: name: Allard, William Guy
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2002

description: Highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) alkenes are ubiquitous lipids which have been identified in numerous geochemical samples, ranging from recent sediments to ancient oils. At the outset of the current investigation, the diatomaceous algae Haslea ostrearia (C25 alkenes) and Rhizosolenia setigera (C25 or C30 alkenes) were the only reported biological sources of these compounds. However, there remained a poor correlation between isomers found in diatoms and those commonly reported in sediments and water column particles. In the present study, the structures of fourteen novel C25 HBI trienes, tetraenes and pentaenes, and four C30 HBI pentaenes and hexaenes have been rigorously characterised via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy following isolation from diatoms. The GC-MS characteristics of the four novel C30 HBIs and eight of the novel C25 HBIs characterised herein show an excellent correlation with those of the HBIs commonly reported in sediments and water column particles. In contrast to the HBIs characterised previously, which all possess a saturated branch point and fixed double bond stereochemistry, the common isomers (C25 and C30) possess an unsaturated branch point and exhibit E/Z isomerism about a trisubstituted double bond. Three diatoms belonging to the Pleurosigma genus have been identified as HBI producers. Of these, the benthic species P. intermedium and the planktonic species Pleurosigma sp. have been found to biosynthesise the common C25 HBI isomers. P. planktonicum has also been identified as a producer of C25 HBIs possessing a novel structural type. The HBI distributions in five distinct strains of R. setigera have been investigated, and these were found to be highly variable. Two strains isolated from the northwest Atlantic were found to produce a single, uncommon C25 HBI pentaene, which has also been reported in H. ostrearia. In contrast, R. setigera isolated from the Arabian Sea was found to produce C30 HBIs only, whilst two strains isolated from southern Brittany were found to co-produce the common C25 and C30 HBI isomers. Four diatom species belonging to the Haslea genus have also been newly identified as producers of C25 HBI alkenes. The HBI distributions in H. salstonica, H. crucigera, H. pseudostrearia and Haslea sp. were examined, and HBI production appears to be widespread within the Haslea genus. All of the HBIs identified in these Haslea spp. were of the structural type previously observed in H. ostrearia, and thus do not correspond to the HBI isomers most commonly reported in sediments and particles. Hydrocarbon extracts isolated from sediments and particulates from the Arabian Sea, Cariaco Trench, Peru upwelling region and the Black Sea were examined by GC-MS, and the HBI isomers in these samples were identified

Sloane 95: 5 (BM-SL) as the lectotype, when in fact only the corresponding illustration by Plukenet (Phytographia t. 122, f. 2. 1692), cited in the protologue, is eligible as such. In fact, this material does not support current usage, and for this reason, Rico designated a Rheede illustration as lectotype.

PLASMA SPECTROCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SLURRIES
Creators: name: FOULKES, MICHAEL EDWARD
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1989

description: The analysis of ores, minerals and refractory materials by slurry atomisation has been investigated using inductively coupled plasma and direct current plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES, DCP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Aqueous calibrants were used. Fundamental aspects were modelled. The particle size and dispersion of samples are the most important criteria in slurry nebulisation. The particle size should be below 5 µm, preferably below 3 µm for refractories. Comminution techniques were used to reduce samples to this size range; the comminution time depended upon sample hardness. Suitable dispersants were identified. Laser diffraction measurements showed the modification of aerosol distributions, for solutions and slurries, by the spray chamber and injector. Few aerosol particles over 18 µm, and solid particles over 6 to 8 µm, size reached the ICP. Fine slurries (<6 µm solid size).

VOID STRUCTURE, COLLOID AND TRACER TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF STRATIFIED POROUS MEDIA
Creators: name: MATHEWS, TOBIAS JOHN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: The characterisation of the properties of porous materials is of great importance in the effective management of natural and manmade systems. A sophisticated network model, 'Pore-Cor', of some of these properties has been previously developed. The present study has significantly extended the scope of the model's predictive capabilities. Flow and transport behaviour was examined in laboratory sand columns of various depths. These experiments examined unsaturated flow of water and conservative solute tracer transport through homogeneous sand samples. Flow through these was not homogeneous or repeatable. Experimental observations found that this may have been due to subtle random variations in packing, and the network model was shown to be able to simulate these. Solute transport of bromide was studied, applied both uniformly and from a point source. Both scenarios were modelled using a convection-dispersion equation, and it was demonstrated that the lateral component of such transport was highly significant. It was shown how convection-dispersion equation predictions of uniformly applied tracer transport might be improved by the application of the network model and a method for improving predicted lateral solute transport was outlined. It has been shown that levels of correlation in the distribution of differently sized voids within porous material may be responsible for large variations in permeability. This can make accurate modelling of permeability very difficult. A technique was developed for assessing the degree and nature of such correlations. The new method was tested on a variety of artificial and real samples and demonstrated to provide a quantitative assessment of such correlations. A method by which this could be used to improve network model simulations of materials possessing such correlation was described.

description: In the 2005 TICOCAVA explosion seismology study in Costa Rica, we observed crustal turning waves with a dominant frequency of ~10 Hz on a linear array of short-period seismometers from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. On one of the shot records, from Shot 21 in the backarc of the Cordillera Central, we also observed two seismic phases with an unusually high dominant frequency (~20 Hz). These two phases were recorded in the forearc region of central Costa Rica and arrived ~7 s apart and 30-40 s after the detonation of Shot 21. We considered the possibility that these secondary arrivals were produced by a local earthquake that may have happened during the active-source seismic experiment. Such high-frequency phases following Shot 21 were not recorded after Shots 22, 23 and 24, all in the backarc of Costa Rica, which might suggest that they were produced by some other source. However, earthquake dislocation models cannot produce seismic waves of such high frequency with significant amplitude. In addition, we would have expected to see more arrivals from such an earthquake on other seismic stations in central Costa Rica. We therefore investigate whether the high-frequency arrivals may be the result of a deep seismic reflection from the subducting Cocos Plate. The timing of these phases is consistent with a shear wave from Shot 21 that was reflected as a compressional (S×P) and a shear (S×S) wave at the top of the subducting Cocos slab between 35 and 55 km depth. The shift in dominant frequency from ~10 Hz in the downgoing seismic wave to ~20 Hz in the reflected waves requires a particular seismic structure at the interface between the subducting slab and the forearc mantle to produce a substantial increase in reflection coefficients with frequency. The spectral amplitude characteristics of the S×P and S×S phases from Shot 21 are consistent with a very high Vp/Vs ratio of 6 in ~5 m thick, slab-parallel layers. This result suggests that a system of thin shear zones near the plate interface beneath the forearc is occupied by hydrous fluids under near-lithostatic conditions. The overpressured shear zone probably takes up fluids from the downgoing slab, and it may control the lower limit of the seismogenic zone.

SPECIFICATION DEVELOPMENT FOR THE USE OF DEVON COB IN EARTHEN CONSTRUCTION
Creators: name: Coventry, Kathryn Anne
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: The traditional earthen building practice of cob construction has been historically linked to Devon for many centuries. However no standards or specifications exist to facilitate a technical appraisal of the material. This thesis sets out to develop an appropriate test methodology for the classification and compressive strength determination of Devon cob. The absence of appropriate standards for cob construction is shown as a function of neglect for Devon cob as a potential construction material. National and international events that have re-kindled interest in earth as a building material are discussed, with particular reference to cob construction. A rationale is presented to justify the selection of the soils used in the experimental program. The utilisation of `soil surveys' to inform selection of suitable cob building is found to be hindered by a lack of modernisation in terms of data presentation. A definitive test methodology is presented and used in the determination of unconfined compressive strength for cobs formed from the selected soils. While the addition of straw is shown to influence the strength of soils, its influence is clearly matrix specific. The pressure membrane test is presented as a suitable means of classifying cob fabrics at a microstructure level. These findings offer new insights into Devon cob.

FLOW INJECTION INSTRUMENTATION FOR THE IN SITU MONITORING OF NUTRIENTS IN SEA WATER
Creators: name: David, Anthony R. J .
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1996

description: In order to investigate the biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems, a quantitative understanding of primary production and the temporal and spatial distribution of nutrients is necessary. This thesis describes the development of a submersible FI based nutrient sensor for the in situ determination of nitrate in estuarine and coastal waters. Chapter One describes the role of nitrogen in the global and marine nitrogen cycles and provides an overview of laboratory and in situ methods for its determination. Chapter Two describes the key parameters for a field instrument and culminates with the overall design specification for the system. Chapter Three describes in detail the design, build and optimisation of the key individual components of the system, e.g. sample delivery system, injection valve, reduction column, reaction column, flowcell, on-board control system and the housing of the complete integrated system. Chapter Four describes the optimisation and analytical performance of the FI instalment prior to field trials. The key operational parameters such as flowcell path length, injection volume and detector response were investigated. LOD, reproducibility and linear range were determined and the control programme for the onboard computer is reported. For example, a LOD of 0.01 Nitrate-N, a linear range of 0-140 | iM Nitrate-N and a reproducibility of ± 5 % were achieved. Chapter Five describes the field experiments where the FI system was initially used as a bench instrument and compared to a laboratory FI method which had been validated by participation in two interlaboratory exercises and for nitrate in river and sea water. The first submersed deployments involved the optimisation of the system operational characteristics and developing the field techniques. The final part of this chapter describes the weekly field studies of Barn Pool in Plymouth Sound using the submersed nutrient sensor for a period of two months. The operation and performance of the submersed sensor was assessed against an air segmented continuous flow analyser during a Land Ocean Interaction Study (LOIS) North Sea cruise aboard the RVS Challenger. The results from this exercise and the relevant salinity and turbidity measurements are presented in Chapter Six.

description: Water and energy are often the two limiting factors in agricultural production in Australia which has also incurred considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. From a Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus perspective, agricultural water, land and energy uses, and crop production are intertwined. As such, this study develops a WEF nexus model to optimize resource uses, economic and environmental performances in an irrigated agricultural system with multiple scenarios designed in contrast to basic situations in the study area. In a baseline scenario, the optimized irrigated areas of wheat (72%; 7,768 ha) are remarkably higher than those of cotton (28%; 3,003 ha) under cotton irrigation application rate of 7.74 ML/ha and wheat irrigation application rate of 2.02 ML/ha. The gross margins per ha irrigated area are AU$4,132/ha in cotton cultivation, being higher than AU$1,584/ha in wheat cultivation. GHG emission intensities are also higher in cotton (3.25 tCO2e/ha and 0.52 tCO2e/t) than those in wheat (2.69 t CO2e/ha and 0.45 tCO2e/t). In comparison, for different crop prices the highest profits (approximately AU$32 million) are generated in the specific scenario involving cotton lint price over AU$650/bale and wheat price below AU$400/t. For alternative energy sources in irrigation, solar-powered irrigation can generate higher profits, AU$25.61 million, and lower total GHG emissions (27 ktCO2e). For methods in disposing crop residues, the economic performances are the best in the combustion scenario (total profits AU$38.44 million). The best environmental performances are in a mulching scenario (28 ktCO2e). For other influential factors, rainfall and power feed-in tariffs show more complex influences than the other factors. Across all scenarios, the maximal total profits (AU$60.77 million) are in the scenario involving combustion with an assumed efficiency of power generation being high (70%). This study contributes to the sustainable management of water, energy, land resources, and also effective crop residue disposals. It can be adopted as a generic model, applicable to a farm scale and extended to incorporate climate change and residue management in other agricultural systems that require more cost-effective production and sustainability.
