Designing Cost‐Effective Carbon Payments to Induce Cellulosic Feedstock Production for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial bioenergy crops, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, and crop residues have the potential to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and mitigate carbon emissions. However, high establishment costs, delayed returns, and risk–return profiles that diverge from those of conventional crops can hinder incentives to adopt ...

Did the Indian Green Revolution Change the Farm Size–Productivity Relationship?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between farm size and productivity during India's Green Revolution, a period of rapid technological transformation. Using a unique panel of over 5000 Indian farm households that spans the Green Revolution (1971–1999), we show that the classic (linear) inverse farm size–productivity relationship gradually evolved ...

The Effect of Long-Term Organic Amendments on Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation via Regulating Microbial Traits in a Paddy Soil

Agriculture
Understanding how organic amendments affect microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and necromass C (MNC) is crucial for understanding soil organic C (SOC) formation and accrual in paddy fields, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this
