Soil‐Borne Pathogens Reflect Agricultural Land‐Use Legacies
Legacy effects profoundly shape the distribution and diversity of terrestrial communities, but are difficult to grasp over longer timescales. Here, we use historical land‐use maps to study lingering legacies of historical land use on present‐day microbial communities.

Modeling Carbon Leakages with Forestation Policies [PDF]
This paper analyzes carbon leakage due to reduced emissions from deforestation (RED). We find that leakage with RED is good because the policy induces afforestation that contributes to a further carbon sequestration. By ignoring the domestic component of
