Economic and labour market implications of global environmental change on agriculture and viticulture in Malta
Agriculture contributes but a limited
amount to Europe's gross domestic production, and the
overall weakness of the European economy to climatic
changes on agriculture is deemed low. Agriculture remains
more considerable in the southern and southeastern
European states with regards to employment
and economic contribution and these regions are expected
to face decreases in yields of 10% or more as a result
of the reduction of the growing season and decreased
rainfall. In Malta, other than cereal production as a
fodder crop, most other crops are supported with a degree
of irrigation that may ultimately mitigate adverse
climatic conditions. Local producers have indicated
that cereals, olives and vines have so far demonstrated
varying degrees of susceptibility to climatic factors, although,
arguably management factors are also relevant.
The development of drier and warmer conditions in the
Mediterranean region would also create conditions that
are favourable to pests. Analysis of potential output
e ffects triggered by global environmental change indicates
that some 6,300 hectares on which wheat, olives
and vines are grown, or 55% of Malta's total utilisable
agricultural area, could in e ffect be rendered economically
unsustainable when productivity falls by about
23%. Such heavy losses could constitute a potential risk
to the sustainability of rural farming systems and livelihoods
in Malta.peer-reviewe

Nucleophilic additions to coordinated 1,10-phenanthroline: intramolecular, intermolecular, reversible, and irreversible
KN(SiMe3)2 reacts with [Re(CO)3(phen)(PMe3)]OTf via reversible addition to the phen ligand and irreversible deprotonation of the PMe3 ligand followed by intramolecular attack to phen by the deprotonated phosphane, whereas MeLi irreversibly adds to phen. The addition of MeLi has been shown to be intermolecular, unlike previously known nucleophilic additions to pyridines.The authors thank MINECO and FEDER (grant CTQ2015-70231-P) and Principado de Asturias (grantFC-15-GRUPIN14-103) forfunding, and Ministerio de Educación for an FPU predoctoral fellowship (to R.A.).Peer reviewe
