Rainfall Erosivity in Southeastern Nigeria
Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2012 In developing land management plans to minimize erosion problem, it is imperative to provide quantitative information on aggressiveness of storms for identifying areas in the landscape which are sensitive to disturbances. The study established that rainfall erosivity (R) indices over Southeastern Nigeria range from very low to very high erosivity ...

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.
