Livelihood Heterogeneity and Adoption of Combine Harvesters Under Flood Risk: Evidence From the Wetland Areas of Bangladesh

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Livelihood heterogeneity explains uneven combine harvester adoption in haor wetlands. PCA–cluster analysis identifies four farmer typologies shaping mechanization pathways. Adoption is highest among educated and networked land‐rich farmers, lowest among traditionalists.

Climate‐smart Naga chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) cultivation: Adapting fertilizer and irrigation practices for changing climate

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Limited winter rainfall and rising irrigation costs threaten sustainable Naga chili (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) production in Bangladesh. However, the combined effects of crop‐specific irrigation and soil‐test‐based fertilization on Naga chili productivity and resource‐use efficiency remain poorly understood.

Through a Glass Darkly: The Esk Valley Floods

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Recent decades have seen a refocus from flood mitigation to risk reduction in favour of more proactive approaches to risk reduction and flood risk management. This study draws on the findings from surveys of residents in the Esk catchment of Hawkes Bay who experienced two significant flood events in 2018 and 2023 and residents’ perceptions of flood ...

Interpopulation Variation in Seed Germination in Three Plantago Species: Effects of Temperature, Osmotic Stress, and Salinity

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Plantago species are widespread in the Mediterranean and have potential applications in restoration of degraded or saline soils. This study examined germination responses of Plantago albicans, P. coronopus, and P. maritima from multiple Iberian populations under different temperature, osmotic stress, and salinity.

Flood Insurance in Dutch Unembanked Areas: Quantifying the Interplay Between Climate Change, Urban Development, and Adaptation Strategies

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Many coastal and riverine communities lack dedicated flood protection and face growing flood risk from climate change and urban development. In such areas, flood insurance is one of few mechanisms to manage financial exposure, yet how adaptation measures, participation structures, and infrastructure policy jointly shape long‐term insurability ...
