Dynamic Effects of Public Expenditure: The Challenge of Multi‐Level Governance Systems

Public Budgeting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The public economy literature shows that dynamic effects of public expenditure vary across programs, giving governments incentives to allocate spending with precision. However, this may be difficult in multi‐level governance, where centrally funded expenditure is implemented locally.

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Knowledge gap on the spatial structure of soil nitrogen mineralization variability—A systematic review

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization governs plant‐available N from soil organic matter and microbial turnover, and is typically estimated as potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) via anaerobic incubations or as N0 and mineralization rate (k) via long‐term aerobic incubations.

Effects of irrigated cover crop cultivation period on common bean and soybean yield

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Cover crop inclusion is essential for improving soil management in tropical no till systems; however, the optimal duration of irrigated off‐season cultivation remains uncertain. This 3‐year field study evaluated nine cover crop species or mixtures and four cultivation periods (60, 75, 90, and 105 days) on biomass production, soil chemical ...

No tillage soybean yield following wheat, white oat and black oat with and without nitrogen fertilization - DOI: 10.4025/actasciagron.v29i2.257

, 2007
A field experiment was carried out in Maua da Serra, State of Paraná to evaluate the production of dry matter and nutrient accumulation of white oat (Avena sativa), wheat (Triticum sativum) and black oat (Avena strigosa) with 40 kg ha-1 of nitrogen, black oat without nitrogen addition and the population of spontaneous plants on treatments in fallow. In
