Clearing the Air: How Fine Particulate Matter Regulations Reshape Farmland Values in U.S. Corn and Soybean Regions

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of air quality regulations targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on farmland values in corn and soybean producing counties in the United States over the period 1997–2022. Using self‐reported farmland value data from the Agricultural Census and county‐level pollution classifications provided by the Environmental ...

Microclimf: Fast modelling of microclimate across real landscapes in R

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Many ecological studies require climate data, but readily available datasets are poor surrogates for the conditions that organisms experience in nature. Understanding the climatic conditions experienced by organisms requires modelling microclimate rather than relying on coarse, station‐based climate data.

Field‐level crop choice responses to weather‐induced yield shocks in the US Corn Belt

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme heat events, farmers are expected to face greater variability in crop yields. Using 10 million field‐level observations, this study examines how farmers in the US Corn Belt adjust corn–soybean rotation decisions in response to yield shocks largely driven by weather fluctuations.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Drought Assessment Through Actual Evapotranspiration in Mediterranean Vegetation Dynamics

open access: yesEcological Indicators
The increasing dryness of the environment is due to the rapid rise in temperature and changes in precipitation patterns. This has made it even harder for the soil to retain moisture, causing greater water stress in terrestrial ecosystems. Mediterranean ecosystems are especially vulnerable to this problem because they face a higher risk of heat waves ...

Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Association of morphological and water factors with irrigated forage cactus yield

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
This study aimed to understand the relationship of morphological characteristics and actual evapotranspiration of forage cactus clones with their productive capacity under different water regimes.
