Cost‐Benefit Analysis of the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in Fertilizer Trade
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), launching 2026, will charge EU importers for embedded carbon emissions, aiming to reduce emissions but raising import costs. Shifts in demand following implementation may reduce carbon emissions, but importers will bear the cost of increased prices.

Environmentally Symbiotic Plant Robot
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An environmentally symbiotic plant robot is presented that externalizes its drive system to plants and soil. By converting germination and growth forces into locomotion, the robot sustains a closed cycle of seeding, germination, growth, and reseeding, autonomously traveling on soil for 30 days using only environmental resources while distributing seeds
