Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Comprehensive analysis on investigating water-saving potentials of irrigated cotton in semi-arid area in China

Agricultural Water Management
Deficit irrigation is a common strategy to reduce water use and improve the sustainability of cotton production. However, the effects of water deficits on crop productivity and quality are subject to genotype by management by environmental interactions ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Assessing deficit irrigation strategies at the level of an irrigation district

Agricultural Water Management, 2007
Water scarcity limits the supply to irrigation schemes worldwide. In many areas, chronic water deficits force irrigation districts to allocate water at levels well below the crop water requirements for maximum yield. We have developed a model that simulates the water balance and the irrigation performance at the plot and scheme levels, to carry out ...

Lost and Found: Is Olfactory Recovery More Promising After COVID‐19 Than Other Causes, Even 2 Years Later?

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is a hallmark feature of COVID‐19, yet the potential for recovery with long‐standing COVID‐19‐related smell loss (CRSL) remains uncertain, particularly when treatment is initiated years later. This study evaluated olfactory outcomes in patients with CRSL compared with non‐COVID‐19‐related smell loss (non‐CRSL),

Complications and Clinical Outcomes Following Modified Endoscopic Denker's With Pyriform Aperture Preservation: A Prospective Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The modified endoscopic Denker's (MED) approach provides access to all maxillary sinus (MS) walls for resection of various MS and retromaxillary pathologies, but the anteromedial maxilla has historically been resected. This study determined complication rates and outcomes following MED with pyriform aperture (PA) preservation ...

Field-scale evaluation of OpenET for quantifying consumptive water savings under deficit irrigation in alfalfa

Agricultural Water Management
Deficit irrigation is increasingly used to reduce agricultural water use in arid regions, yet reliable field-scale quantification of consumptive water savings under commercial conditions remains challenging.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Developing a critical caste analysis within information science and technology: A research review: An annual review of information science and technology paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.
