Available water modifications by topsoil treatments under mediterranean semiarid conditions: afforestation plan [PDF]
, 2016 During dry periods in the Mediterranean area, the lack of water entering the soil matrix reduces organic contribu- tions to the soil. These processes lead to reduced soil fertility and soil vegetation recovery which creates a positive feedback process ...

Climate Change Risks and Customer Concentration: Evidence From US‐Listed Firms
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While prior studies have investigated climate risks in supply chains, customer ESG pressures, and shared climate exposure, this paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between climate change risks and firms' customer concentration.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Kinked collagen‐mimetic peptides (kinkCMPs), whose backbone is constrained by a disulfide bond, are designed to induce hydrogel formation. The kinked backbone promotes supramolecular assembly into tunable hydrogels with thermal stability depending on length.

Improving Rainfall Erosivity Estimates Using Merged TRMM and Gauge Data
Remote Sensing, 2017 Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity).

Improving rainwater-use in Cabo Verde drylands by reducing runoff [PDF]
, 2014 Dryland agriculture in Cabo Verde copes with steep slopes, inadequate practices, irregular intense rain, recurrent droughts, high runoff rates, severe soil erosion and declining fertility, leading to the inefficient use of rainwater.
