Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

How to Plant Apple Trees to Reduce Replant Disease in Apple Orchard: A Study on the Phenolic Acid of the Replanted Apple Orchard

PLOS ONE, 2016
Apple replant disease (ARD) is an important problem in the production of apple. The phenolic acid is one of the causes of ARD. How phenolic acid affects the ARD was not well known. In this study, we analyzed the type, concentration and annual dynamic variation of phenolic acid in soil from three replanted apple orchards using an accelerated solvent ...

From Waste to Worth: The Case for Modular and Upgradable Electronics in a Sustainable Future

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid obsolescence of electronic products poses a major challenge to sustainable development due to rising e‐waste. Modular and upgradable product (MUP) architectures offer a promising approach to extend product lifetimes and reduce environmental impact. This study investigates how consumer perceptions and behaviours affect the adoption of
