Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Reaction Environment Engineering for Selective C3+ Formation in CO2 Electroreduction: Progress and Perspectives

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work focuses on how to improve the selectivity and activity of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to C3+ products, by the integration of electrocatalyst and electrolyte co‐design. We summarize key C3+ formation mechanisms and provide a comprehensive reaction network through thermodynamic analysis.

Four Decades of Changes in Greek Coastal Lagoons (Amvrakikos Gulf, Northwest Greece): A Multi-Indicator Ecological Analysis

open access: yesEcologies
Coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable to human and climatic pressures, yet long-term ecological changes remain poorly quantified. We analyzed four decades (1980–2020) of data from fisheries from six lagoons in the Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece, using ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Rapid Rates of Change in Multiple Biodiversity Measures in Breeding Avian Assemblages

open access: yesDiversity
Species respond to environmental changes at different rates, resulting in no change, increased, or decreased resemblance among species assemblages. We explored the patterns of rate of change in bird diversity in five ecoregions of the United States ...
