Abstract Biochar offers significant potential to improve soil quality, enhance crop productivity, and alleviate environmental risks, all of which are central to sustainable food systems under global change. However, realizing these benefits at scale requires strategic, spatially explicit deployment that considers complex soil‐crop‐climate‐biochar ...

Dynamic Land Use Change in SWAT+: A Novel Application of Scenario Decision Tables
ABSTRACT Land use and land cover (LULC) changes significantly impact hydrological processes, yet their dynamic representation in hydrological models remains a challenge. This paper introduces and pioneers the use of the newly implemented capability of SWAT+ to simulate dynamic LULC changes using “land use scenario decision tables”.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Abstract Terrestrial ecosystem regulation of carbon and water fluxes is critical for constraining climate–biosphere feedbacks but remains poorly quantified across space and time. Here, we evaluate whether co‐located observations from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory‐3 (OCO‐3) and the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station

Abstract Changes in land cover can impact local and synoptic meteorology, and subsequently, ecological processes. Using a coupled atmosphere and land surface model (WRF and Noah‐MP), we quantified how simulated deforestation events of varying extent (approximately 4,000–18,000 km2 ${\text{km}}^{2}$), continuity, and orientation, impact meteorology and ...

Abstract The Clumping Index (CI) critically regulates canopy radiation, yet its role in reshaping global heat fluxes under land‐atmosphere (L‐A) interactions remains poorly quantified. We integrated satellite‐derived CI into the Community Earth System Model (CESM) to assess its impacts through L‐A coupled simulations.

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...

Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk
ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...
