The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Drought in the Asian summer monsoon region is liked to a weakened inter-hemispheric temperature gradient

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding the causes of abrupt hydrologic declines in the Asian summer monsoon region may help limit the adverse effects of such events on the region’s economy and ecology.

Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

Response of Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Water Erosion Dynamic Factors to the Main Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation Patterns in the Chinese Mollisol Region During 1960—2020

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] A study on the spatial and temporal patterns of water erosion dynamic factors and their responses to atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns in the Mollisol region of Northeast China is crucial for preventing and controlling soil erosion

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...

Ontogenetic Trophic Differentiation in the Amur Softshell Turtle (Pelodiscus maackii) From a Temperate Large‐River System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated ontogenetic variation in diet composition of the Amur softshell turtle (Pelodiscus maackii) from a temperate large‐river system using stomach content analyses of field‐collected individuals. Dietary composition differed markedly across body‐size classes, indicating pronounced ontogenetic trophic differentiation and shifts in resource ...

Pattern-based statistical downscaling of East Asian Summer Monsoon precipitation

Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013
This study identifies daily Meiyu-like East Asian Summer Monsoon patterns that are linked to precipitation observations in the Poyang lake catchment. This analysis provides insight into the dynamics of strong, local precipitation events and has the potential to improve projections of precipitation from coarse-grid numerical simulations.

DNA barcoding and geometric morphometry of tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in Thailand and a new record of a Thai horse fly

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 498-511, September 2026.
Tabanus tenens identified in this study is a newly recorded species in Thailand. DNA barcoding using the cox1 gene identified tabanid species in the present study. WGM data from different sites served as a reference for species identification. Abstract Tabanid flies are gaining high medical and veterinary importance due to their role as a vector of ...

Contribution of Urbanization and Large‐Scale Warming to Temperature Increase From Pre‐Industrial Revolution Time to Recent Period in Central Beijing City

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract The annual mean Surface Air Temperature (SAT) observed during 1757–1762 in central Beijing was 3.1°C lower than that of the nearby Autonomous Weather Stations (AWS) in recent 6 years (2015–2020). The change was much larger than the averaged global warming of the past century.
