Engineering Atomically Precise Cu4I4 Nanoclusters With Integrated Adsorption and Hydrogenation Functions for Efficient Photocatalytic Nitrate‐to‐Ammonia Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Efficient photocatalytic nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion is achieved over an atomically precise Cu4I4 motif through dual‐site cooperation. Lewis‐acidic Cu centers promote nitrate adsorption and activation, while adjacent I sites facilitate active hydrogen generation for stepwise hydrogenation.

Scenario-based land use simulation and integrated analysis of karst ecosystem service bundles

Global Ecology and Conservation
Karst landscapes, characterized by unique soluble geological features, provide essential ecosystem services (ESs). However, they are currently facing significant challenges due to rapid land use/land cover (LULC) changes.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Scientific instruments for climate change adaptation: estimating and optimizing the efficiency of ecosystem service provision [PDF]

Adaptation to the consequences of climate change can depend on efficient use of ecosystem services (ES), i.e. a better use of natural services through management of the way in which they are delivered to society. While much discussion focuses on reducing

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 ...

Exploration of the multi-scenario spatiotemporal evolution, trade-off and synergy relationships, and driving factors of ecosystem services in Henan Province, China, under the background of land use change

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionEcosystem services (ESs) assessment plays a significant role in managing ecological resources. From the perspective of land use, this research aims to uncover the complex interdependence between ESs and their key drivers to clarify and ...

Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Dual-zone framework for ecosystem service governance: linking functional gradients and ecosystem services bundles along an urbanization gradient

Ecological Indicators
Urbanization reshapes interactions among ecosystem services (ES), making it necessary to clarify how urbanization gradients, ecological mechanisms, together with nonlinear driver responses, jointly regulate ES dynamics to support ecological zoning ...
