Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?
ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?
Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.

Comparing Two Novel LiDAR‐Based Indices for Quantifying Forest Structural Complexity
This study compares two LiDAR‐derived forest structural complexity indices: the fractal‐based box dimension (Db$$ {D}_b $$) and the entropy‐based canopy entropy (CE$$ CE $$). Analysis of 170 plots revealed a strong linear correlation (r = 0.823) between Db$$ {D}_b $$ and CE$$ CE $$, but computation was much slower.
