Gradient‐Oxidized Bacterial Cellulose for Self‐Sustained Soil Moisture Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An asymmetric encapsulated bacterial cellulose device integrates a gradient‐oxidized BC framework with a LiCl‐doped Ecoflex hygroscopic layer, enabling self‐powered soil moisture monitoring through directional ion transport. The device sustains stable hydrovoltaic output, supports deep‐learning humidity classification, and fully biodegrades in soil ...

Heterogeneity of Farmer Preferences Towards Collective Agri‐Environmental Schemes: A Latent Class Analysis for Biodiversity Conservation in Switzerland

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective agri‐environmental schemes offer a promising approach to improve biodiversity promotion in agriculture by providing landscape connectivity. However, how to design these schemes to foster participation in the presence of farmers' heterogeneous preferences and perceived transaction costs remains an open question.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

An empirical review of cultural ecosystem service indicators

Ecological Indicators, 2013
Abstract Over millennia human well-being has benefited from ecosystems, not only through tangible goods, but also through intangible assets known as cultural ecosystem services. Despite growing research over the last decade, cultural services assessment still remains arbitrary and is largely limited to marketable services such as tourism.

Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific
