Field‐level crop choice responses to weather‐induced yield shocks in the US Corn Belt

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme heat events, farmers are expected to face greater variability in crop yields. Using 10 million field‐level observations, this study examines how farmers in the US Corn Belt adjust corn–soybean rotation decisions in response to yield shocks largely driven by weather fluctuations.

Estimation of regional evapotranspiration and soil moisture conditions using remotely sensed crop surface temperatures

open access: yes, 1977
This study was effected in the framework of the NIWARS investigations on the application of thermal infrared scanning. It concerns the application of thermal infrared scanning for the measurement of aerial heat and water budgets of cropped ...

The Construction of an Environmental Villain: A Discourse Analysis of Upland Maize Farming in Thailand

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the mid‐2010s, Thai public discourse has villainised upland maize cultivation in northern Thailand for deforestation and environmental degradation through the popular imagery of bald mountains. The attention has prompted a new wave of land‐use interventions urging upland smallholders to replace maize with trees and perennials.

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Canopy resistance to evapotranspiration of a soybean crop

open access: yes, 1994
Latent heat flux measurements were carried out on a soybean crop with the Bowen Ratio Energy Balance method and aerodynamic and canopy resistances to water vapour flux were calculated. Canopy resistance values in different growth phases and water availability conditions are presented.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...
