Beyond the Metrics: Context‐Aware Calibration for Better Drain Flow Modelling
ABSTRACT Robust hydrological and water quality modelling is essential for advancing the understanding and management of engineered agricultural subsurface drainage systems. Achieving credible model output hinges on calibration strategies that are both rigorous and context sensitive. At the field scale, accurately capturing the dynamics of nutrient load

Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...

Abstract The Island Mass Effect (IME) in tropical regions remains understudied, despite its potential to fertilize oligotrophic oceanic gyres and impact on higher trophic levels. Guadeloupe provides an ideal case study of IME due to its diverse nutrient sources, dual exposure to the Caribbean Sea on the western coast and Atlantic Ocean on the eastern ...

Riverine solute fluxes peak during the wet season, emphasising the role of tropical rainfall in driving nutrient delivery to the ocean. Seasonal peaks in nutrient fluxes highlight the need for longer‐term monitoring to detect potential interannual trends.

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Public willingness to pay for wetland restoration in the Canadian Prairie Pothole Region
Abstract Wetlands play a crucial role in the agricultural landscapes of Canada's Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) but are being lost to agricultural and urban development. There is increased interest from governments and conservation organizations in restoring previously drained wetlands, but these projects are costly and associated with intangible ...

ABSTRACT This study advances a novel, multidimensional approach to quantifying agricultural resilience to climate shocks by integrating economic, calories, and risk‐based indicators. To accomplish this, resilience is defined in terms of the failure–recovery dynamics of net cash farm income (NCFI) and daily calorie intake.

Abstract This paper revisits the Tunisian 2010–2011 uprising and its ensuing decade of agrarian contention as a crisis of social reproduction stemming from the combined effects of depletion and dispossession. It traces the lineages of the grievances that continue to animate the Tunisian countryside to the multiple and often enmeshed labours—both ...

ABSTRACT Small‐scale irrigation represents a highly effective system designed to enhance production and productivity, mitigate risks associated with rainfall variability and increase the income of rural farm households. This study was conducted to analyse small‐scale irrigation impact on household income and assess the challenges and opportunities in ...
