Woody perennial polycultures and their influence on soil organic carbon
Abstract Woody perennial polycultures (WPPs) can contribute to sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC). We studied how WPP diversity and density, and landscape features influence SOC change. We quantified SOC, particulate organic matter‐carbon and ‐nitrogen (POM‐C and POM‐N), potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN), and inherent properties in soil ...

Pruning for biodiversity: Drivers of cavity formation and use in Mediterranean holm oak woodlands
Our study emphasizes the role of both tree and cavity age in the long‐term establishment of cavity‐dependent vertebrates in holm oak woodlands. In the context of climate change—where holm oak trees are expected to replace more mesic, soft‐wooded tree species in the Mediterranean region—the persistence of cavity‐dependent vertebrate biodiversity will ...

Abstract We compare the impact of two extension modalities on knowledge accumulation and willingness to pay for a weather index insurance product among smallholder farmers in Kenya. One approach to extension is based on experiential learning and involves participation in an incentivized framed experiment (or game).
