Climate‐Smart Dairy Practices: The Role of Practice Clusters in Enhancing the Performance of Dairy Farms in Kenya

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Boosting the Nucleophilicity of the Diphenylphosphide Anion with Crown Ether Supported Heavy Alkali Metals to Facilitate Highly Efficient Catalytic Alkene Isomerisation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here, we report a breakthrough study in catalytic alkene isomerisation using crown ether‐supported alkali metal phosphides in which the activity increases sequentially and significantly as Group One is descended with Cs(18‐crown‐6)PPh2 (1Cs) performing best.

Analysis of influencing factors of seawater intrusion in the Yangtze River Estuary and control for water supply security

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Seawater intrusion poses a significant threat to the water supply of coastal cities both presently and in the future. It is crucial to identify the controllable factors influencing seawater intrusion, both natural and anthropogenic, in order to ensure ...

Interactive effects of drought and heat stresses on morpho-physiological attributes, yield, nutrient uptake and oxidative status in maize hybrids

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Maize is a sensitive crop to drought and heat stresses, particularly at the reproductive stages of development. The present study investigated the individual and interactive effects of drought (50% field capacity) and heat (38 °C/30 °C) stresses on ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Retracted: Can the chemical industry solve the climate change?On the role of human energy production, renewable energies, and the potential of chemistry as a solution provider

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView., 2023
Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

Investigating the effect of irrigation method on onion yield under drought stress [PDF]

open access: yesرویکردهای نوین در مهندسی آب و محیط زیست
Water is the most important factor limiting agriculture in the country. For this purpose, the effect of two irrigation methods (basin irrigation and tape irrigation) and three irrigation levels (50, 75 and 100 percent of the plant's water requirement) on

DROUGHT, BURN, DROUGHT

open access: yes
An increase in global temperatures from climate change has driven an increase in drought in areas where frequent, low- and moderate-intensity fires are common. Human caused climate change, also known as anthropogenic climate change (ACC), has caused an increase in temperatures globally and has been linked as the leading driver of changes in regional ...
