Modeling preference heterogeneity in recreation random utility models when relevant information about users is limited

Aestimum, 2020
We suggest a novel approach to analyze revealed preference heterogeneity in recreation random utility maximization models when information about users is limited to their place of residence. We assume that recreationists living in the same place act as a

Ecolabels as Instruments for Biodiversity Governance in Agri‐Food Systems: A Comparative Assessment of EU Certification Schemes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity underpins ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services, yet it continues to decline due to intensive agriculture, pollution, habitat loss and climate change. Although ecolabels are increasingly used to communicate sustainability attributes and influence consumer choices, their role in addressing biodiversity ...

Innovative Organic Fertilizers and Cover Crops: Perspectives for Sustainable Agriculture in the Era of Climate Change and Organic Agriculture

Agronomy
Anthropogenic activities have resulted in land desertification in various regions of the world, leading to the degradation of critical soil characteristics such as organic matter (OM) content, nutrient stock, and prevailing biodiversity.

Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

Multiplex reactions for the molecular detection of predation on pest and nonpest invertebrates in agroecosystems

, 2010
Species- and group-specific PCR primers were developed to study predation on pest and nonpest invertebrate species by generalist carabid predators in agroecosystems.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Biochar and Hydrochar as Soil‐Based Carbon Sequestration Technologies: Implications for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar and hydrochar have emerged as promising carbon‐based amendments for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This review synthesizes and critically compares current knowledge on the production technologies, physicochemical properties, stabilization mechanisms, carbon persistence, and life‐cycle ...

Edaphic Controls Override Climatic and Management Effects on Soil Organic Carbon in Southern African Agroecosystems

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the relative importance of climatic, edaphic, and management controls on soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for improving SOC prediction and land management in data‐scarce agroecosystems. Aim This study quantified SOC drivers across Southern African agroecosystems using 655 observations covering climatic variables,
